Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.

In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.

With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

The Commission has been working on creating an intermediate category between quadricycles that weigh a few hundred kilograms and all other cars, so that small electric vehicles no longer have to include as much safety equipment and technology as a large saloon car.

Renault Group CEO François Provost recommended on Tuesday that automotive regulations in Europe be frozen for 10 to 15 years to encourage the emergence of this category, which would include cars up to 4.2 metres long.

For context the BYD Dolphin surf at less than 4 metres long scored 5 stars on Euro NCAP

Normally, when I have a day off I stay in bed until the afternoon. I don't leave the house and nothing gets done. Have hard time figuring out what to eat when I eventually get hungry.

Woke up today at 9:30 am because the neighbors are having noisy work done. I've slept through it before but today I had energy... damn it, energy is gone.

TL;DR
Started a load of wash
Took dog for short walk and car ride
Went to pharmacy
Went to grocery store
Came home with dog
Started another load of laundry
Cleaned my apartment
Did some more laundry
Folded all laundry
Attempted to start a crock pot dinner for tonigh
Made lunch for tomorrow

Over a year since I done all this in a day

In a joint interview with the Financial Times, Ola Källenius, head of European car industry body Acea and the chief executive of Mercedes-Benz, also warned that the European Commission would be making “a catastrophic mistake” if the automotive market shrank further as a result of forcing the industry to sell only EVs.

On Sunday afternoon, Platner filled the State Theatre, an historic art deco venue in Portland in Maine’s largest city, with close to 1,000 people eager to hear how the campaign planned to save absentee voting in the Pine Tree State. The voter suppression initiative would hobble absentee voting in the state with the oldest population in the country, enact strict voter ID requirements, and severely limit access to ballot dropboxes. In the last election cycle, more than 40% of Mainers used absentee voting. Polls have shown voters evenly divided on the measure, which could have considerable implications for the 2026 general election.

The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

Just looking for direction, input, personal stories, anecdotes, links, infographics, literally anything on the topic.

Something to help one better themselves, manage their life and put some structure or control in place.

One is Michael Lyras, a 44-year-old American, who lives in Volusia County, near Orlando, in central Florida. Lyras studied addiction counseling in college but is currently disabled and receiving food stamps. He voted for Trump “all three times” but says he is upset with the way things are going: “I regret my last vote enormously,” he says.

“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,” Lyras adds. “He [Trump] is turning this into a police state and he’s acting like an authoritarian. I didn’t vote for any of this”

Bushart’s case raised a firestorm of controversy after he was arrested, jailed, and slapped with a $2 million bail for a social media post. His supposed crime: making a threat of mass violence against a school in a neighboring county. In reality, all he had done was repost a meme. On Saturday, September 20, he had visited a community page, “What’s Happening in Perry County, TN,” and trolled a thread about an upcoming vigil honoring Charlie Kirk.

Bushart’s crime? Directly quoting Donald Trump on this Facebook page.

One of his posts was a photo of President Donald Trump, along with the quote “We have to get over it,” drawing from his response to a school shooting in Perry, Iowa, in 2024.
