Mr. Mamdani, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?

Do me a favour, don't go chasing waterfalls.

'Like I said before, tariffs will be in place from 1st July August September, there has been no change to this date'.

Could call it American X. Although it needs to sound like it has some background, maybe mention history. American History X, perfect! Only positive associations there.

How many of the votes in favour of him creating a new party do we think are just Elon's bots?

I'm going to count to 3, and I want everyone to do a ceasefire! 1. 2. 2 and a half. 2 and three quarters. I mean it!

A duodecimal system would have been so much nicer.

Everyone loves a library!

no gratitude to America

Has she even said thank you?

Would that be your classic 'meant to lose' fight, usually against the big bad, which is technically winnable but the vast majority of players will lose and progress the story as planned? The example that comes to mind is Ghost of Tsushima, but it crops up in plenty of games.

No, I've done nothing!

I'm lost! Where is the bathroom?

No hablo ingles.

I'm coming to help.

Where can I find you my friend?

Oh no, they see me...

Problem is, if they could feel shame they wouldn't be asshole grifters.

Now Dennis, I've heard that speed has something to do with it.

Both things could be true.

Unfortunately, the 'firing' is usually a golden handshake and jumping straight into heading another company to run that into the ground too. After multiple rounds of layoffs of course.

Absolutely, and I think jumping on people for making honest mistakes doesn't help anyone, as with most things it's the intention that's key. In this particular case though, I don't think there was too much ambiguity, and she/her seems to me like the safer bet.

My understanding, and I'm by no means an expert, is that they/them would be used for an unknown gender, or for someone that has chosen those as their preferred pronouns. But in this case, the article and discussion is about a woman, so I think she/her would be the preferred choice.

I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.

The article uses she/her pronouns, which seems a reasonable choice. Any particular reason you've gone with they/them?

If I had to hazard a guess, I reckon they'll have done more than one story on this.
