This is a big win, although it will likely go unnoticed by most people, because it has more to do with corporate culture than how companies build and sell products.

Carlson’s comments about Cheney came after he said the former vice president raised a “disgusting daughter.” The former Fox News personality has never hidden his distaste for Liz Cheney, previously calling her a “neocon warmonger” and a “liar.”

Morning meditations
There has been a lot of buzz around Zahran Mamdani, both during his candidacy and now that he is New York City’s mayor-elect. His socialist/communist policy proposals are getting a lot of ire among activists/professionals on the left, and as I recently noticed, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party seems to be holding all the energy at the moment.
Regardless of some of the questions swirling around his election, Mamdani is the flavor of the month, and I think it’s a safe bet that we’ll see a slew of young Mamdani — or Mamdani aspirants — emerging, especially in local and statewide elections.
We saw this with Omar Fateh in Minneapolis, although his campaign to become mayor of that city did not see the same success as Mamdani’s campaign. But Seattle’s new mayor-elect, Katie Wilson, appears to be cut from the same cloth.

Another one is dusting off: Now Seattle has a Democratic socialist mayor, like Mayor Mamdani
No doubt others will see their successes and try to model themselves accordingly. So get ready, people – especially those living in the blue enclaves – the Mamdani march begins now.
