Mamdani is the most optimistic representation of New York City and therefore the only living soul who reminds Trump of the little boy he once was, spoiled and belligerent, riding in between cars on the subway, the fetid air making him feel small and subterranean and at right with the world

One thing this article does not address is that PS 307 is not an underfunded school. The school got $43,972 per student last year. That’s 84% more than the NYC average (which is $23,908). It’s clearly grievously failing its students, but the reason why is not because it doesn’t have money

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

Ballpoint pen on paper. A man in his PJs is tucked into his bed. He's upset because the bed has been lifted off the ground by a pack of small, mischievous creatures. We can only see 9 of them in the image but there are likely many more since they're all working together to lift the heavy bed frame. As the creatures run with the bed they chant, "hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup." The man in the bed wants no part of this. "Put me down. No more hups," he says. It's unclear where they are going or what is happening. There is no punchline. There is little to no context. You're either with the hup team or you're out. Thank you for reading these.

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.
Rolling Stone cover picturing Chappell Roan (in pale white porcelain doll makeup), leaning her head on Olivia Rodrigo's shoulder, with Doechii leaning over Olivia's other shoulder. Olivia has a daisy in her mouth. Sarah McLachlan is leaning over them like she's descending from orbit. Headline "How Daisy Chain Made History: Inside Olivia Rodrigo's fun-filled, fundraising festival"
