“New York millionaires are plotting their exit from the city after the election of Zohran Mamdani, the socialist who plans to increase the taxes of the rich.”
—The Telegraph
Well, looks like the unthinkable has happened—Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. As the founder of a bro culture clickbait site who has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, I hate to see this city going in such an obviously bad direction.

Beware the hungry grass. In more superstitious times, Irish people would attribute sudden sharp attacks of hunger to walking on féar gorta, ground cursed by the restless ghost of a famine victim concealed beneath.
