Explanation: Mamdani signed an executive order allowing kids to stay up late to watch the Knicks play in the NBA finals. The order is only symbolic, just for fun.
I think little things like this are good. It shows kids that work doesn't have to be a relentless grind, that it can be fun and lighthearted. It also shows that the people running their government also live the same lives as them to some extent. Consider the opposite where they gave golden toilets and show blatant disregard for the average person. Even if they are faking it, they are saying they care enough about the people's opinion to at least fake it.
The New York Knicks have made the NBA finals. Mamdani signed an "executive order" eliminating bed times for young Knicks fans so they can watch the games.

Shouldn't this guy be busy taxing rich people and expropriating landlords?

That is why they elected him, but they seem to have forgotten just as easily!

Kinsey was awful, but almost every episode he was in was excellent!

Imagine calling the guy who played Dick Jones and Captain Jellico "the evil senator from SG-1". 😆
Just teasing. Seriously though, he's great in everything he's been in. Terrific antagonist.

Is there another meaning to bedtime other than the time you go to bed that I'm missing?

No. Zo nullified bedtime so kids could watch a ballgame

How did it ended 5 months from now?
TheFogan@programming.dev · 3 pts · 113d
I believe the implication is ended 5 months after his term started.
