I'm going to be in Abu Dhabi in Nov. for the first time since 2022, there for @NYUAbuDhabi alumni weekend. So I'm revisiting capstone videos for classes of 2015 and 2020, who will hit their 10- and 5-year anniversaries. Still blown away by these people. youtube.com/watch?v=mqNcZt…

I don’t know why this has me cheesing so hard, but I think I just love seeing New Yorkers happy, man. Finally, a leader whose charm and aura are so real and wholesome that everyone wants a moment with him. Our city deserves this.

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

"literal" i'm in tears

Superman is NOT an immigrant. He’s a literal alien from another planet. Crash-landed here as a baby. No passport. No visa. No green card. People calling him an “immigrant” are confusing metaphor with reality. Yes—writers have used Superman as a symbol for the immigrant experience… But that doesn’t make him one. Let’s not rewrite the character just to score points. Metaphor ≠ fact. #Superman #DCComics #TruthJusticeAndLogic #ComicBookFacts #KalElNotAnImmigrant #ClarkKent #ImmigrationDebate #StopTheStretch

We're talking about a bit of literary imagination based on Moses in the bulrushes. The figurative potential is baked in from the very start. It was never not political. Jeesh.

Parents: start by teaching your children the difference between literal and figurative.

No, that’s not what I said at all. Superman is an extraterrestrial, not an illegal alien. Big difference. The term “illegal alien” refers to human immigration law: people crossing borders without legal documentation. Superman didn’t immigrate to Earth. He was sent here as a baby from another planet, no passport, no intention, no legal system to process it. That makes him sci-fi alien, not someone violating immigration policy. The point I made is that people are misusing metaphor. Saying Superman “is an immigrant” is poetic, not literal. So no, I’m not saying he’s “illegal.” I’m saying he’s not an immigrant at all.

@BasedMikeLee You voted for a Russian stooge spreading Faux propaganda that's completely divorced from the reality we live in? Yes. Yes, you did.

Republicans are celebrating the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in U.S. history to pay for the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.
51,000 Americans will die each year so that the top 1% can get a $1 trillion tax break.
This bill is a death sentence.

@lukaske She needs to apologize. Not just to him, but to all New Yorkers and all Americans. What's the polar opposite of moral clarity? Because that is where she's been stuck for a while.

Senator Gillibrand misspoke in that instance. As she noted subsequently, her concern was the refusal to denounce globalize the intifada rhetoric. She also highlighted that Mr. Mamdani assured her that, if elected, he would protect Jews and all residents of NYC.

Senator @SenGillibrand called on @alfranken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing @ZohranKMamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

Hard to believe @BasedMikeLee is the same person who released this statement in 2016: washingtonpost.com/video/politics…

@BasedMikeLee He was a good man. You, though, are an embarrassment to his good name. What a warped, terrible person you’ve become. Can’t you see it when your kids look in your eyes and you know they know how twisted you’ve become?
