The discourse today has largely missed why Mamdani is a generational talent. He’s authentic but message-disciplined, sharing his vision for the future before delivering it with public excellence.

It’s not just his leftism, it’s his radical optimism + results that raises the ceiling of possibility.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

America’s Mayor can’t miss.

I’m begging my fellow study section members to please “rescue” grants for discussion while this policy continues. We are going to lose lots of good grants to one unfairly negative reviewer otherwise. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

f*ck so sorry. For what it's worth, based on nothing more than a feeling, I suspect Ks will be more likely to come through than Rs. If for no reason other that they're less money.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Nobody read this article beyond the headline. NYTimes is def sucking lately but this piece is written as borderline parody. Most of the experts are Waffle House employees. The tagline under the author is purposeful comical as well. We should save our righteous indignation for when it’s warranted

Also IF IT IS FRONT PAGE NEWS THAT WE ARE AT WAR WITH IRAN, it is ALSO FRONT PAGE NEWS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK US TO IRAN ARE TALKING LIKE THIS.

The war does not exist in a separate, more serious universe than its leaders! This is the guy who decides if it happens and how many people die!
