@mattfitzct @feelsdesperate @nypost @nytimes It's about where trust is placed. If you show me an NYPost headline to critique Mamdani I will laugh as heartily if you showed me an NYT headline to critique Trump.

@mattfitzct @feelsdesperate @nypost @nytimes There's little argument against overwhelming evidence for that and it need not be restricted simply to grocery stores to prove the point.
My reply was not intended to litigate that issue but instead to critique the deployment of a NY Post headline to prove that point.

Insane insane insane.
At least the public gets to see a simple, straightforward example of how this stuff actually works: huge sums of money doled out to politically connected contractors and public unions with the public getting marginal benefit in return.

Staggering 8-figure sum NYC taxpayers will pay to fund Mamdani’s first city-owned grocery revealed. Read today's cover here: trib.al/CfovA96

@nise_yoshimi Not exactly sure how this lines up with everything I have known so far about France, Britain, the US and Japan, since I am not even sure I have ever seen examples of these references, but it just does somehow

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning
American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger. Magyarország Európát választotta. Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta. Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára. Az Unió erősebbé válik.

@JutlandGhost He can't account for the contradiction of labor in his wider account of capitalism, he thinks Marxism is liberalism i.e. identity politics of the elite. But he's wrong. Marxism is about proletarian politics and he has nothing to say about that or exploitation.

@ccutrone1970 Close friends continue to regurgitate the whole “Israel’s bidding” idea. Yet another example of the continued procession of decoupling with the (rad) liberal consensus that many of us newly arrived leftists experience
English
Anyone who thinks the U.S.'s war in Iran is about Israel is severely deluded.

@DougLain @g_shullenberger Kirn strikes me as a reactionary who is occasionally correct, like Tucker

Take Kirn seriously.

@ksorbs Thank u, Kevin: why don't more people speak out ab the obvious, as you do, that America might seem hunky-dory, but the truth is that we are, every last one of us, in the throes of a systemwide race war that pits each person against the other according to the color of their skin?

A room full of non-White people explaining how they're going to target White people.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going to solve “decades of discrimination" by creating a “racial equity plan” which would prioritize resources for "black and brown" people. Literally just racism against White people.

Coldplay hate was largely performative off the back of a joke from a Judd Apatow movie.

"I think he’s a genius. People who slag off Coldplay are just jealous. They’ve written some of the best songs of the last 20 years. 'Yellow' is a masterpiece, and I wish I’d written it." Noel Gallagher on Chris Martin

@feelsdesperate What a dumbass take. Yeah, mayors who party=good thing. Mayors who carp about bs social criteria of the day=bad. How the hell is this supposed to be anything other than TMZ-adjacent pre political dross pantomiming as trenchant analysis of the political as affect? What crap

My favorite Eric Adams memory was coming out of a Broadway play at 11pm on a Tuesday and walking past a bunch of protesters screaming outside a nightclub where Mayor Adams was partying inside.
Great mayor!
Our current mayor, ‘Zohran Mamdani,’ spends all his time online crying about social justice issues and things online that make him upset.
Adams was a jubilant partier who befit NYC. Mamdani is an online sadboi who can’t stop performatively crying about things that have absolutely nothing to do with his job. Terrible downgrade.

Happy Easter, New York! Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear.
As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth.
Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day.
Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.

Freudian slip of the year:
NYTimes Communications@NYTimesPR
@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

@BlueBoxDave Yes bc Hasan is always going on ab "the Jews" - there's a difference between full bore antisemitism + whatever traces of antisemitism a robust anti-Israel position, whether on the left or right, may contain - and none of that changes the hard fact of changing public opinion on 🇮🇱

.@Timodc gets it. Our party leaders should not be cancelling anti-establishment voices and build a broad pro democracy coalition. Even scolds welcome!

@haugejostein You're confusing social-democracy with socialism. Two different things
English
It's socialism — not capitalism — that creates prosperity.
Norway has one of the strongest welfare systems in the world.
In Singapore, most people live in housing built by the government.
In Luxembourg, social spending as a share of GDP is among the highest in the EU.
Most countries that score well on this chart do so because they have socialist policies in place that increase social mobility and reduce economic precariousness.

Norman Finkelstein denounces the new Israel Derangement Syndrome, says Joe Kent and MAGA pundits have gone "completely lunatic" -- spreading ridiculous theories like Israel killed JFK, duped Cheney and Rumsfeld into invading Iraq, and have now tricked Trump into attacking Iran
