The mayor of New York City is password sharing with the homies to watch the playoffs I’ve never felt more represented in my life
May 21
Mamdani: I’m feeling incredible about the Knicks. I have to give a shoutout to my friend because the only reason I could watch Game 1 is because he had YouTube TV and he gave me his login. A lot of people ask, “What’s democratic socialism?” Sharing YouTube TV with your boys.

.@JamesTalarico: The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on Earth is not because we can't feed the poor. It's because we can't satisfy the rich. Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. He's about to make more money than every elementary school teacher in America combined. Do we really believe one man is worth more than every elementary school teacher? Why do we have a trillionaire when there are kids without enough to eat, cancer patients going bankrupt, and veterans sleeping on the street? I'm all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. What leads a person to accumulate more money than they could possibly spend in 100 lifetimes when there are people starving in this one? What we can do is tax trillionaires out of existence and use that money to guarantee food, healthcare, and housing for every single American.

This is not a complaint at all, and it’s also factually wrong, but *in my mind* the following people get NYT/New Yorker profiles twice a year, for the past 10 years: Patti Smith Stephen Malkmus Michael Stipe Toni Morrison Who else is on this list for you?

Congrats Eric!
'We The Raptors' is an instant Bestseller! ____ Sorry for the humble-brag.....But I'm blown away by the support this book has already received. I'm proud of this work & to see it on The Globe's & Toronto Star's national bestseller list (non-fiction) -- is mind boggling. THANK U

A treat. Max here. Today we went back to the first garage I ever played music in. Neighbour’s garage. Invited some die hards. New song out Thursday called “What Good?”
