I'd love to see Democrats run on a "Law and Order" platform. Meaning "Prosecute corruption" instead of "Persecute Black people"

Which is kind of funny considering how integral the Brodies failing marriage was to the plot of the novel!

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?
The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

Granted, I'd love a serious discussion of the benefits of UBI, that part of those benefits would mean cutting means tested programs and the support staff for them, and that 'tax the billionaires more' cannot possibly make up the entire shortfall of current obligations. But elevator pitch first.

Peter Martini @pcmartini.com · 10/09/2026
It'd be hilarious if some of the smarter dems used this as an opportunity to say something like "I'm in favor of taxes on billionaires to fund UBI, too! But Donnie, last I saw the deficit was growing and your share of taxes is falling, so where is this money coming from?"

If your car doesn't have a backseat weight sensor with an alarm and you can't add one, you should put something you can't walk away from the car without next to the car seat when you buckle it in. The easiest and most foolproof thing? Your left shoe.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I hit post the second I finished. To have gone back and changed anything, even a typo, would have been to taint what may end up being my favorite thing I’ve ever written.

That's entirely fair. I was thinking of social capital within what an elected official would consider their own class and in having a straightforward identifier to mark themselves as a higher class in the first place. They'll have no lack of fancy parties to go to even if the street hates them.

Mixed feelings about the fact that quite a few responses don't seem to get the reference. Yay for them, and yet it makes me feel so much older

I have seen very few movies this year so I can't really judge the oscars, but one of the movies I did see was Sinners, and its portrayal of the Jim Crow economy is the film's driving force, even more than its supernatural elements www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
theatlantic.com
The Jim Crow Economy Is the True Horror in 'Sinners'
The film illustrates the near-impossibility of upward mobility during the segregation era.

I thought murder rates are normally cited as 'x per 100,000 residents (per year)'? so spiking over 100 would be very high but still plausible
