What's hilarious about this in particular is that he describes himself as "ex-black"
Snippet of article text: ...will not share his racial identity, Williams decides that that identity no longer suits him. Instead of black, by the end of the book, he calls himself “ex-black”—which may be a bit like threatening to run away from home but never making it past the front porch.

I was referring to stuff like this, and even here he does his 'how dare the left criticize the Iraq War/President, (not that I support it or anything)' schtick he still does today! glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2005/11/real...
Unsurprisingly, the attention-craving Chavez’s principal ally in these escapades seems to be the American reporters and correspondents reporting on Bush’s trip. They instinctively regurgitate stories of supposedly widespread anti-Bush sentiment based upon nothing but a handful of socialist stragglers defacing public property with anti-war cliches and jobless Latin American hippies gathering for some music, celebrity-gazing and chants. The American media is accustomed to misleadingly translating such isolated 1left-wing antics as some sort of symbol of widespread public opinion, and they have obviously packed their reportorial laziness in their suitcases with them as they travel with Bush to Latin America.

As is true in U.S., the Latin American socialist agitators who have captured the attention and affection of the American media are as substance-less as they are inconsequential. They are lovers of Fidel Castro. The insist that the source of their severe economic woes is not their collectivist policies or national character, of course, but the evil economic policies of the U.S. At the same time, of course, they are furious that the evil U.S. is not providing them with greater economic aid.

Deleted, iirc it was some account I'm not familiar with complaining about Cait with a qt of hers. You going to explain why you see no problem with Adam's behavior and why it's on Cait to exclusively to be nice to someone calling her a "bitch and a "jew-hating cunt" or you going keep dodging that?

This was the first interaction. Just out of nowhere Adam called her a bitch and later, a "jew-hating cunt" and you're here to say really the problem is Cait hasn't been nice enough to the guy who led off with that.

I wouldn't say it with absolutely certainty but I agree. The problem for Cuomo here is he wasn't that close and seems likely most of the other voters will go for Mamdani over Cuomo. Maybe if he thinks he can pick up the republican vote, that's probably his only remotely possible path to victory.
NYC Mayor Results:
Zohran Mamdani
431,678	+43.5%
Andrew M. Cuomo
361,318	+36.4%
Brad Lander
112,297	+11.3%
Adrienne Adams
40,900	+4.1%

To add on the "you couldn't make it today point" you also (basically) couldn't make it back then! It only got made as it was because Brooks got yelled at to cut all these scenes by producers and he just didn't do it. Not sure how many people could pull that off.
Indiewire article on Mel Brooks and Blazing Saddle - Quote: “I was on the way out of the theater and somebody grabbed the nape of my neck and took me to the manager’s office, threw me down, and he was the head of all of Warner Bros.,” said Brooks. “Ted Ashley. I was with John Calley, who was in charge of the studio, but not in charge of all of Warner Bros. This guy was the head guy. He threw me a legal pad and a Sharpie and said, ‘Write: No hitting an old lady — out. No hitting a horse — out. No farting — out.’ Why listen to anything? I would’ve had an 11-minute movie. So he left, I crumpled up his notes, threw it in the waste basket.”

Once again no better summary of centrism than the "better things aren't possible" tweet
internethippo tweet from 2017: Just got back from the centrist rally. Amazing turnout. Thousands of people holding hands and chanting "Better things aren't possible"

Obviously this is all reactionary dipshit reasoning going on but I like how fundamentally they do not believe in the concept of fiction
"Anti-woke" steam group reasoning on Final Fantasy 15 being woke: Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. In Lestallum, women work in the factory while men raise children and take care of the household. There is no explanation for why this is the case.

Lmao I think he blocked you. For the record his preferred solution from his quote post was: 1. Do nothing 2. Never criticize democrats.

What I like about this joke is that it's indistinguishable from reality:
Text from an article about Force Unleashed: “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius,’” the Force Unleashed developer told Game Informer. “There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

holy shit this the actual article is even worse than the headline. He doesn't drop 'character' for the entire bit!
Screencap of Tapper article in Salon: Gangbanging in Media Land. Text in the image itself: 
"This is whack, yo," said Peter ("P Biddy") Beinart, the much-feared editor of TNR, as he slammed that morning's New York Times down onto his desk. "Whack."

"True dat," affirmed executive editor "Snoop-Kitty" Orr, kickin' it old school in DuPont Circle, iced skim venti latte in hand. "Collinsio been acting jainky. One day it's all 'Inspectors, U.N., disarmament,' then she busts a C.K. and disarmament is just an option. Dizaam!"

From the corner boomed the voice of literary editor L.W. Cool-L, former mix-master of J.W.A., his lovely young bride on his lap, a draft of "Kaddish II: This Time It's Personal" by his side.

"How you wanna carry it, nomsayin'?" he asked. "I mean, what's with these homies dissin' my Perle? Why do the Old Gray Lady gotta front?"

"Bee-hatch," sneered Snoop-Kitty.

From the doorway strode the impressive silhouette of senior editor Li'l Cottle in full bling-bling.

PER is obviously not the end all be all and as a rando I want to be clear I am not arguing this list means these are the top ten players of all time but it does adjust for a lot of these sorts of factors fwiw:

The schtick here is that anyone who suggests the democrats are anything less than absolute perfection deserves to be put into torture camps, so no I don't think he can be honest about it.

This is from December of last year: poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
Screenshot of Quinnipiac article about Eric Adams approval ratings, quoted below: 
As New York City Mayor Eric Adams nears the end of his second year in office, voters give the mayor a negative 28 - 58 percent job approval rating with 14 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of registered voters in New York City released today.

This is the lowest job approval rating for a New York City mayor since Quinnipiac University began polling New York City registered voters in 1996. Before today, the previous low was a negative 31 - 60 percent job approval rating for Mayor Bloomberg in July 2003.

In today's poll, the mayor receives his only positive rating from Black voters who approve of the job he is doing 48 - 38 percent.

Among his own party, Democrats give him a negative 35 - 49 percent job approval rating.
