Mamdani Headlines The New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani is getting desperate.

Thank you, whoever made this. mamdanitimes.com

I actually don't think she should be able to have a moments rest until she explains why Andrew Cuomo is fine but Al Franken is not. Like someone should follow her around with a bullhorn screaming the question at her.

The NY Times Isn’t Endorsing Cuomo—They’re Just Telling You to Vote for Him The paper that doesn’t make local endorsements makes a very weird and tortured non-endorsement.

I appreciate that, unlike the ever-evasive Times, Hell Gate just says the thing. It’s like reading good directing. They see and aren’t afraid to name what’s happening on stage plainly.

The NYT is amazing

There must be some middle ground between the Delacorte’s ultra-hardcore rain-won’t-stop-us policy and Little Island’s we-sense-a-mist-so-we’re-pausing-the-show-oh-wait-make-that-canceling-it approach. I appreciate the caution, but it’s awfully frustrating.

“Don’t rank Cuomo” chant broke out at the No Kings march down Fifth Ave.

Early voting starts today. Why wait?

Why are the mayoral candidates not cross endorsing each other?

Beautiful! And congratulations!!

Yeah.

Jessica Ramos Will Endorse Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor

Is that you, Faust?

Im voting for Zohran

Is there a link to her original tweet? I can't find but maybe she deleted.

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:

"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

…ornamented by paradox, inexplicable. Rather the opposite, maybe. The less explicable, the more meaning. The less like a mathematics equation (a sum game); the more like music (significant secret).” Gregory Maguire, Out of Oz

“The further on we go, the more meaning there is, but the less articulable. You live your life, and the older you get —the more specificity you harvest— the more precious becomes every ounce and spasm. Your life and times don't drain of meaning because they become more contradictory…🧵

Trump Seeks to Eliminate the NEA The president’s budget proposal also called for getting rid of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Will we support a president as impactful as our current one, perhaps one who would bully the courts like FDR, someone who will move fast and make things, and enact something like a New Deal to restore and recreate what’s been lost? And further, one who will fight to move us to somewhere totally new?

The Show Can’t Go On Funding shifts at three of the largest philanthropic foundations have brought turbulence and uncertainty to the intricate New York support system for the performing arts.

How do we get to the other side?

Who is your heart’s top choice? What holds you back from ranking them first? As long as the leading non-Cuomo candidate (Zohran) is somewhere on your ballot, aren’t you free to rank who you want? Like, we all had to rank Garcia last time, but the obligation wasn’t to rank her first. Right?
