no one believes @JimSpanfeller when he says he returned Deadspin to its traffic heights, he in fact stripped the articles of their public-facing traffic metrics to preserve the lie that they were doing well
impressive that no one on Cuomo's team has met a Dominican or a Jamaican or a Puerto Rican or a Haitian, etc
holy shit
not exaggerating when i say this may be teh most impressive throw i've ever seen from right-to-third.
so many fun layers to this, including a) Trump's defenders adopting the position that he's too dumb to use the word "enigma" and b) Sean Davis using Grok and calling it a day like he did some actual journalism

That actually does sound like your personality until a few months ago
Hold on guys, I’m going to find some local Somali candidate in Minnesota no one has ever heard of and make hating him my personality.
anyone have the email for Chris Swift, the CEO of The Hartford?
you definitely have to question Mamdani's decision to also run in the Arizona special election I guess

One week ago today, we shocked the establishment and redrew the political map of New York City with a campaign relentlessly focused on the needs of working people. Let's break it down.
this would have been a good place to offer further details about your source (a white supremacist troll who traffics in race science) why didn't you, Patrick?
We heard from readers who wanted more detail about this initial source. That’s fair feedback. We printed his online alias so readers could learn more about the person. The purpose of this story was to help illuminate the thinking and background of a major mayoral candidate.
pour one out for failson @JimSpanfeller, what will he cock up next? nytimes.com/2025/07/02/bus…

Did Zohran Mamdani also beat you at swimming
New York City is so screwed

i want Zohran in the primary, i want Cuomo and Adams both running independent in the general, Zohran takes the general. i want CNN meltdown Tuesday night i want NY Times editorial meltdown Wednesday, mossad false flag attack mid August

New York City, if you vote for this vile anti American creature you will see our city crumble to ruins. Several companies have announced they will leave and taking with them thousands of jobs. Chaos will ensue and our city will be taken over by an absolutely unhinged man who…
