Comrades, as winter approaches so does the revolution in The People's Islamic-Socialist Democratic City of Novi Yorksk. The chill of impending winter hangs in the air and mixes with the chill of four years of impending Next Tuesdays.
Even before Comrade Mamdani is sworn in, subtle changes are evident:
Horses have been replaced by camels in Central park.
And speaking of Camels, it is now the only brand of cigarettes available for sale in the city.
School crossing signs seem somehow different:
As do road signs
And the lintels above the entrances to venerable old buildings like the 42nd Street library:
And the City Courthouse:
The Department of Sanitation is now the Department of Ablutions:
And Katz's kosher delicatessen appears to be under new ownership, (with halal beets!):
Comrades, this is the kind of Progress™ we can all get behind. Way behind!
More as they become available.
