1. I dunno, but from the header I was expecting something horribly ugly

I don't know what the previous seal looked like, but this doesn't seem like it should be that controversial.

Seems sort of interesting or at the least benign to me.

5. Zoom in on the subway doors

‘NYC’ is graffitied on the train.

Just kind of a strange choice, sure there’s graffiti here, but trains are not covered with it. MTA removes tagging and graffiti from subway cars pretty quickly.

He’s an odd dude for sure. From an article, I liked this bit:

Hot like John Lindsay, exuberant like Ed Koch, in over his head like David Dinkins, shady like Giuliani, bossy like Bloomberg, and a party-machine manipulator like de Blasio, Eric Adams might have been grown in a lab by New York City. We made this mess — try to enjoy it!

6. He Is A Mess & I Predict He Is Going To Be A Problem

"in over his head like David Dinkins, shady like Giuliani, bossy like Bloomberg, and a party-machine manipulator like de Blasio"

I also predict he will be the last ranked choice Mayor.

7. omg. Tammany Hall Revisited into the Future of NYC. Wow.

just a creepy updated version, seems like. holy smokes.

how the hell did ny vote someone like him in? Does it suggest he ran a pretty slick campaign or the contenders were so bad they went that one?

obviously, I'm far away from that part of the country. California does have it's share of corrupt or ill suited office holders and seekers, for sure.

4. I like it, actually.

I mean, it's accurate, isn't it? New York's graffiti is the stuff of legend. Might as well own it.
