New liberal talking points have been distributed about Mamdani

"Oh well of COURSE New York City picks a socialist. This has no relevance on any other election in the country, it's not a strategy for the party going forward. Just a one off blip"

@acm_redfox we'll see

Repurposing the Everglades Jetport, originally intended for supersonic travel into a concentration camp just the latest mask-off moment

If it had been someone with left wing ideological beliefs, who shot a bunch of firefighters and created a wildfire, this country would have put everyone to the left of Hitler in a camp.

Of course, since he's a Neo-Nazi, big shrugs.

It has gone zero days since the latest slop

if young voters turned out like they did for Zohran Mamdani for every race, the Democratic Party would never lose an election again

so naturally, establishment Dems are…smearing him and refusing to endorse?

@mestery it seems from the outside that the author of bcachefs has trouble working with others.

@xgerman jesus

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" Kamala supporters finding reasons to vote for independent candidates for mayor Eric Adams or Cuomo

Interested to see how the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" crowd wriggles out of their own ideology, now that Mamdani has won the primary.

Mamdani's victory shows that if you give people a REAL choice, they'll turn out.

I'm sure the Democrats will work very hard to make sure this never happens again

Mamdani leading with 65% of the vote, this is looking good so far

"but this is the only thing that pays enough for me to afford life in a world where my husband gets casually laid off after being at the same company for six and a half years because some number in a spreadsheet put him on the shitlist. "

I feel 100000% the same way. My partner does government grant writing and their job was destroyed overnight by an LLM that DOGE built to eliminate any grant that was considered "woke"

@cadey
"Are the burnt out developers just going to stop teaching people the right ways to make software? "

My answer is yes. Because it's happening already. That experience that you and I have is considered a burden and owners are trying to replace us with LLMs. Our experience is not valued.

We can't teach if our experience is not valued.

Current teachers are getting destroyed by ChatGPT right now, so I think teaching as a profession is also doomed.

@cadey thank you for writing this

I hope that Mamdani wins the primary in NYC but if he doesn't, it proves that the Democratic party is unreformable and that we need a new party. Especially if Cuomo wins.

@xgerman good link. I am confusing the Strait of Hormuz situation with the 30%. If Iran shuts down the strait of Hormuz there's 30% of oil production now blocked. A serious issue.

@xgerman that would absolutely destroy the economy of the world
