politico.comMamdani is using NYPD gym to host pickup basketball games with friendsThe choice of location has scrambled NYPD training operations, angering a police union and a Republican lawmaker.

NYPD henchman: Here’s the oppo research on Mamdani, boss. Makes him look real fucking cool, just like you asked

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

My Nuggets Goal for the year: enjoy Jokic and Murray on offense, hope for the best on defense and with team health, and get ready for the play-in game and another first round exit.

You love to see a Kiah Stokes game

On scale from Gordon Hayward to Shaun Livingston, how bad is the Jalen Williams leg injury video? I’ve learned my lesson and will not be watching this one though

But feel bad for J-Dub, as much as I enjoy hating on the Thunder, he is really good and two lost years in a row is a bummer.

I was about to start majorly panicking about the Nuggets getting blown out by the Pelicans, but now I’ll just minorly panic that it took an epic comeback to force OT with the as Pelicans

Glad the Pelicans are getting the full Jamahl Mosley experience. (Such an inexplicable coaching hire)

npr.orgWhy mailing a ballot close to Election Day may get it rejected for a late postmarkIf you're using the U.S. Postal Service to return a ballot close to Election Day, officials recommend getting it postmarked at a post office to avoid getting caught up in mail processing changes.

Remember: postmarks don’t matter in most states…the ballot has to actually be received by end of Election Day in roughly 35+ states

Hansi Lo Wang (he/him)@hansilowang.bsky.social

My latest @npr.org story: If you have to use the U.S. Postal Service to return a mail-in ballot, USPS recommends mailing it at least a week before your state's deadline. And if you're mailing close to Election Day, stop by a post office to ask for a postmark to make sure it gets one on the same day

KD was right to talk shit about Sengun.

nytimes.comJust How Much Are Young Voters Backing Democrats Now? See the Shift.In the new Times/Siena poll, 70 percent of young voters identified as Democrats or leaned that way — a jump from just two years ago.

Please,,, leave us 46 year olds out of this. It’s the older Gen X people who are fucked up!

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

newrepublic.comHow the Consulting Class Is Eating the Democratic PartyFundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.

it's funny how so many people, who don't even like the NBA, are always like: oh my god travelling! this is why I don't watch the NBA it's so ridiculous! True hoopers can hold the dual, conflicting thoughts in their head that it is both ridiculous and hilarious and yet another reason to watch

Polymarket and Kalshi and all prediction markets are compromising the fabric of society in ways that are insanely harmful and destructive.

Did a quick writeup on Polymarket pulling its bet on "any of the Cornell 7 charged with a felony sex crime?" for @defector.com The bet is no longer live, but I did grab screenshots before they took it down:
