Should the Democrats be searching for more charismatic young politicians who speak plainly and cheerfully and galvanize young voters? Nah, that'd be dumb. (Also, about those rankings: Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, Eric Schneiderman, and Sheldon Silver would like a word.)

Should they be searching for more Mamdanis? The Democrats are torn. (Also: a reminder that he has been helped by running against "the two most disgraced figures of New York Democratic politics of the last 40 years.") www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The gay man who restyles himself as an arrogant bully because he's spent his entire life trying to prove that he's worthy of the company of straight homophobes is a very familiar type to me. I went to college with this one. There are many like him, although, happily, infinitely more who are not.

BREAM: How do trade talks get back on with Canada? BESSENT: We'll see. This is very serious. The prime minister of Ontario, who I imagine is smarting quite a bit from the Blue Jays loss, spent $75 million interfering in US public policy. A price has got to be paid for this.

If you write a "What the Democrats need to do" op-ed in which you keep saying that you're not saying what everyone thinks you're saying, maybe scrap the draft, or admit that yes, you are actually saying it. This is a subtweet about that guy I always pick on.

"Vibes" and "culturally" are doing a lot of work here. It's a way of not having to state that rich Republican candidates are good at overcoming class differences with appeals to bigotry. You can say "Democrats need to find a way to fight that," but you can't pretend it's not the problem.

That's right. They vote based on vibes and who they think is culturally more like themselves. For a lot of working class voters, that used to be Democrats. Not so much now.

Also--this gets weird--"I hate gay halloween" is itself a gay internet meme; that sentence in the NYT story links to an Out Magazine piece that makes it clear that "I hate gay halloween" is used solely as a way of posting pix of fantastic costumes. So why not just write a celebratory headline?
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialNov 1(source)
Once the media admits that a gay phenomenon is actually fun and not harmful, the next phase is generally to decide that it isn't gay. So look for headlines like "Gay Hallowe'en Isn't Just for Gays Anymore" a year from now. (BTW, no piling on to this writer, please. The story is not malicious.)

This is a rabbit hole well worth falling into. Go down into the replies and up into the quote tweets, and enjoy a fantastic group writing project.

Once upon a desert sandy As through winds the trav'ling man he Spied the face of Ozymandy Lying, simply lying there Suddenly there was some writing Pon the plinth that he was sighting That the sand and time were blighting Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Today is Lee Grant's 100th birthday. This remarkable movie/TV/stage actress and filmmaker is the definition of a survivor. Read up on her fascinating life. Better yet, see her movies! (Also, if you can hunt down anything from her Emmy-winning run on Peyton Place, totally worth it.)

I know I've posted a lot about this, but even if you don't live in New York, you have to admit that the Andrew Cuomo campaign is...something special.

Defend NYC, a pro-Cuomo super PAC operated by Trump adviser Jason Meister, is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on sending out this text message to NYC voters, hoping it'll convince them to vote Cuomo for mayor, new filings show.

Scene from my early '70s childhood: Me, in probably flammable Batman costume, holding orange box: "Trick or treat for Unicef!" Scary voice from behind closed apartment door: "I hate the goddamn United Nations! Let me see that--" Me: [runs, terrified] Happy Hallowe'en, everyone!
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialOct 30(source)
"I'm holding my nose and voting for Cuomo." Yeah, and? Nobody is going to award you bonus points for supporting someone you have the discernment to know is awful. Elections are only about results. You vote for him, you own the consequences.
