Eric Adams teaches you how to search your child's room. Truly New York's weirdest guy.

U.S. out of the Middle East

i am once again saying: BLOOD AND SOIL (bloomsbury, 2027)

What’s your favourite joke in The Simpsons? mine:

Emma Alpern reviews Hilary Plum’s ‘State Champ,’ a novel about a former high-school runner staging a hunger strike at a shuttered women’s-health clinic. thecut.com/article/review…

That one time I embroidered the Harrow cover

Another banger from Jack McCordick, who probably could’ve written 15,000 more words on Tanenhaus’s BUCKLEY if TNR had let him

"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or

Mahmoud Khalil walked free today. Zohran Mamdani walked all of Manhattan tonight, the longest night of the year. Hope is still possible in New York City; re-enchantment can also be a politics. I’m voting early Sunday, and I can’t wait.

The rage at Zohran's redistributionist arguments is a good example of how thoroughly the post-1970s neoliberal paradigm still dominates NYC. Before 1970, free or cheap public goods were the norm. Free CUNY, massive amounts of public and subsidized housing, cheap transit.

i think the other day during polll site canvassing we met the one single issue voter who decided to rank zohran first because he pissed off the gristedes guy

Hard to think of a politician in living memory (at least mine) who's acted with more integrity and class than Brad Lander has these past few weeks and months—if Zohran pulls it off, Lander's refusal to punch left and fear monger will be a major reason why

De Blasio has that glow that people only get when their political enemies flounder

This is a realignment election in NYC. More than 1 million Democrats voted, and a 33-year-old socialist holds a very large lead over a Democrat who was governor for nearly 11 years, and had almost the entire political establishment behind him.

I forgot what pure political happiness felt like

I can't think of a clearer signal that aging establishment Democrats are weighing down the party and should retire to make room for new blood immediately

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

This will be a powerful rejection of bigotry by New York. Mamdani was against one of the most racist smear campaigns a candidate's faced since Obama '08. And it came from within the Democratic Party.

the only benefit of sharing an alma mater w this guy is knowing the track coach has gone on record to say he was slow and weak

Why is New York Mayor Eric Adams addicted to getting his brows done? Aaron Timms is on the case. thebaffler.com/latest/pluckin…
