Zohran Mamdani ripped for dining at pricy NYC eatery while living in rent-stabilized apartment: ‘Fraud class’ Actor and podcaster Michael Rapaport ripped Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for eating at “one of the priciest joints in NYC” while living in a rent-stabilized apartment.

I regularly frequented local NYC eateries when I lived in a rent-stabilized apartment.

Was I supposed to live off of bodega subs? lmao

Been missing my Oura ring post shifting to Apple Watch for tracking both fitness + sleep.

Started using Autosleep (iOS app, one time $5.99 purchase) last week, and I’m surprisingly impressed. I’m really into gamification via sleep scores, readiness, trend analysis, etc, and this does it all!

It’s only an oblivious PRF if it’s from an oblivious region of France.

Regardless of how you feel about Vivek’s politics, I don’t think you should make fun of his Indian last name.

Cats vs Commas:

Cats have claws at the end of their paws

But commas are the pause at the end of a clause

I don’t fancy myself a political commentator, but if you’re intellectually honest you must acknowledge that Democrats have been the more fiscally responsible party for 30+ years.
