This is a common line, and it’s a total non-sequitur. What does lamenting Israel’s war crimes in Gaza have to do with either forgetting or remembering the massacres on October 7th?
Mamdani seems to be among the many who forget that, as Netanyahu noted, the war in Gaza started with a horrific terror assault against Jews on Oct. 7, 2023, in which innocent men, women and children were brutally slaughtered.

Heathcliff and several of his fans are laughing together in a big blimp with the word "DANK" printed in huge letters on its side. Heathcliff's girlfriend, Sonja, looks up at the blimp angrily, as a couple watches on. One of them says "She's tired of the dank blimp."

ah yes, Sun Tzu's famous lesson: "store your ammunition in a highly visible public landmark with lots of through-traffic"
From TrumpReposter @trumpreposter.bsky.social

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D. C. , IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The whole graf is hilarious The film (that I have not seen) “falls short on every dimension”
I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the full testimony it presents. I would love to live in a world in which I could wait, watch the movie, and have a sober debate about its claims.
Unfortunately, the discourse online is not so patient. That's why it's necessary to examine the argument its makers have published, the reporting on which it builds, and the standards by which its allegations should be judged. The film falls short on every dimension.

Pretty insightful stuff here from Bret Stephens, who admits he's literally as out of touch as possible with every New Yorker alive right now. Zohran is the most popular politician in the country, Dem leadership is historically unpopular, and he's just... the opposite. And he works for the NY Times.
