If you replace all the “Mamdanis” in this sentence with, say, the Hamburglar, it still makes about the same amount of sense.

On CBC, Nokha Dakroub from The Radical Centre podcast offers her big takeaways from the night: "I think Mississauga found a Mamdani and Oshawa found a Mamdani, and unfortunately Brad Bradford wasn't Mamdani enough."

Diana Chan McNally went to Town of Hardcore on Friday and then won a council seat today. Makes you think.

A word of advice for people watching the vote results come in tonight. 1) just find a way to stay off the internet until about 9:30/10! 2) if you must watch, remember that the polls tightened after advanced voting, which gets tallied later on. So don’t panic if Bradford is ahead early.

And the freaking greatest thing I have ever seen: this intersection has a traffic signal that is set by DEFAULT for pedestrians and cyclists, cars have to activate to cross. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

please do not vote for Bradford Bradford, an empty vessel who has never had an original thought or conviction in his life that wasn't A/B-tested by a team of consultants. a useless dork who uses AI apps to get facebook trolls to fight battles for him. a truly mediocre man

Rest in peace, Commander.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

If trying to think of three nice things to say about YOUR OWN CHILD causes your brain to fritz out like this you should be put on an island away from the rest of society.

I imagine the BC NDP might tell themselves they were very likely to lose whenever the election came and the polls six weeks ago were as good as they were ever going to be for them. But when you're in government you can do stuff. And the BC NDP just lost two years when they could have done stuff.

There’s a degree to which a lot of this is unexciting process stuff that doesn’t really show up in people’s lives (or tax statement). But also the Chow campaign has done an atrocious job of highlighting her own accomplishments in a way that voters can easily grasp.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

If you're bored the Times of London had an article this week with a headline about Plato that turned out to be about Ben Zobrist.
