Karl: Josh Gottheimer, a Democratic member of Congress, who says, “Many of us believe, as do I, if you’re a socialist, you are not a Democrat.” And in fact, they put out a manifesto today.
Mamdani: Sounds pretty socialist to me…. I'm not interested in writing a manifesto or frankly, in reading one. I'm interested in delivering. And that's exactly what we've been showing.
@KonartistNupe They would’ve waxed poetic about how Mitchell, Giannis and Bam cover perfectly for his defensive low points and how he’s going to make their new front court less clunky offensively.
(Bilal, AD, Sarr stare…)
@DubClayton He has two choices: either be 2023-2024 AD and play himself to a preferred destination that has things we want @ the deadline or do what he always does and give us 35-50 useful games and collect that (massive) check.
The choice is his and I’m happy with whichever route it goes.
@Domo8186 I’m actually kind of excited, at least offensively, to see how this goes - especially if/when we draft AJ. If Trae can change his 3-pt diet towards more catch and shoot opportunities vs pull-ups… the efficiency may carry the day and make the contract worth it.
@GrantPaulsen If that what you want out of DP, it feels very duplicative to slot DP in a role that Tre Johnson is arguably (and it’s not really even arguable) better at.
No, but that’s the point. “Terrorism” is not a word meant to be used with any sort of function beyond undermining movements that challenge capital and imperial efforts. Wrote a piece on this a while back.

NEW @WIRED: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves to Trump after the 2024 election — who in return mocked them behind their backs, per new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan
— Zuckerberg sent Trump a photo of a letter one of his grade-school kids wrote that looked forward to the “golden age of america”
— Bezos denigrated The Washington Post to Trump and described the newspaper as one of his worst financial investments
— Trump showed off texts from Zuckerberg and Bezos to other guests, including to Elon Musk, who mocked them as “Firstclass groveling”
— Months after their dinner, Bezos tried to get a favor from Trump, telling him it was a risk for SpaceX to dominate govt space contracts
— Bezos suggested Trump tell Deputy Defense Secy Feinberg to ensure“contractor diversity,” opening the door for Blue Origin to get contracts
— But Trump ultimately screwed over Bezos after he reconciled with Musk, and instead expanded SpaceX’s access to US space launch sites
— WIRED obtained the details from “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan ahead of June 23 release
