Like (I suspect) many people, I made the decision to avoid hearing the ATC audio of the Florida aviation accident. @KTLA should really reexamine its decision to broadcast it.

You know damn well he can get in front of a microphone, make it his big project, and cause hysteria about fiscal insolvency

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it.
Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard.
Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that.
Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it.
That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City.
If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message.
Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.
Hey, @derekahunter, ever considered revisiting your shockingly prophetic piece about Harris’ “lies” regarding Trump’s willingness to deploy the military against Americans?

I canceled my Washington Post subscription when they fired Radley Balko, but I’m thinking of buying one so I can cancel it again.
If you want to get involved with the election, but interacting with humans in real time isn’t your thing, consider writing letters for Vote Forward. As a way to get out the vote, it’s very effective. votefwd.org
It’s so crazy it just might work.
Something we need to remember, from @LemieuxLGM: “John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett are all full accessories after the fact to the Plot Against America.” lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/202…
This is a fantastic idea. When I lived in Brooklyn, I would try to Shazam (or SoundHound) music from cars stopped at red lights.
I installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below walzr.com/bop-spotter

What has happened is that our society has begun to, in effect, collectively hallucinate.

(1/X) I hate doing these, but I feel like I'm being baited to do so. A few days ago Maggie H did an interview where she complained criticism of her reporting, James Fallows answered back (mentioning this account) and Jon Chait and some Reason bro took a shot at Fallows for...
I feel like it should be a bigger deal that a U.S. senator is fomenting racial violence in his state.
