It just lacks imagination, among other criticisms. No one is owed a job in politics, y'know? If he found himself out-maneuvered, even thought it was unethical and shitty for a party official like SPM to bully his own fellow party member, he could have become an advocate for party reforms, or had a strategic plan for where to bolster the system for future Dem and progressive wins.

Dimes is a really trendy restaurant on Canal St that has been the center of a "community" or something for years now and at some point some journalists/tweeters started calling the area "dimes square". This is a sign that it is sticking.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 25 August 2022 16:27 (one year ago) link
it is also a pun based on times sq (obv) and a bunch of annoying people who consider themselves dimes (10s out of 10)

Huh, I would've guessed it was a drug-dealing reference (dime bags), but I guess that probably dates me quite a bit. The LES hasn't been like that in many years.

i went to dimes once in 2014. isn't it like 4 tables? how can there possibly be a scene there?
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Thursday, 25 August 2022 19:42 (one year ago) link
This "scene" consists of about a half dozen people, who all guest on each other's podcasts. But because it's New York, each of these assholes knows at least 50 reporters desperate for something to write about and turn into a thing, so...

I’d argue as dumb as the idea of it being a scene is, especially dumb tweets comparing it to Williamsburg in the late 90s but with no music scene or whatever, it is true that that area of town, which used to just part of Chinatown I guess, has been filled with galleries and boutiques and hip eateries or whatever so of course it needs a name other than “the part of Chinatown where white people hang out”.

Yeah, this would've been a given the last time I left my house. I'm not going out until I get to make up my own neighborhoods and secure REBNY financing for NoDad: the Rollercoaster and West Malarkey: The FX Pedal.

Not one of the Dimes Square people appears to be a Catholic who rejects Vatican II or has taught at Bari Weiss University.

Weird that Lufthansa group had same fares for EWR and other NYC airports up till now. In my experience, same international flight out of JFK is always much cheaper than EWR.

Worth noting that this could be one of the worst cities in the world for Malaysian food. There's an OK place in Sunset Park. And one in Queens. But NY is terrible with SE Asian food. Sydney, NY is not.

xps Are you talking about the Hungarian Pastry Shop across from the cathedral? I live near there. There's a great Malaysian restaurant nearby, in Manhattan Valley. It's the only place I ever order from around here pretty much. But it's more of a neighborhood-y takeout spot than a destination for authentic Malaysian food. There was also an amazing Vietnamese place down the street from the Hungarian in the 90's.

Last time I went to that particular place my impression was the food was actually not very good it's more about the old-timey hang or whatever.

I used to go to the Hungarian a lot with my dad when he was still alive, but I've only been once or twice since he passed away. I was fond of their Hungarian coffee (Americano with almond extract, whipped cream and cinnamon- we were all young once).
