“White Female Mamdani”?
Seattle mayor Katie Wilson added a BUS LANE.
Daily Mail is pure garbage.

Feels like one of those “bad now, better later” changes—depends if it actually improves transit.
Bus lanes have higher throughput of commuters than car lanes.
If a mayor created a private lane only they could use between their house and work, that would be a crazy abuse of power. Or say, put in stop signs / lights right at their subdivision so traffic was more convenient for them in particular.
This mayor sped up the commute for thousands of people at a minimal impact to a significantly smaller number.
Bus lanes have higher throughput of commuters than car lanes.
To play devil’s advocate…
Bus lanes having higher throughput doesn’t imply that it’s always the right choice to replace car lanes with bus lanes.
If the road was a major bottleneck for cars and this change made it even narrower, it could hurt throughput for both cars and buses!
Mamdani is living rent free in those dipshits head. What really hurts them is that its working.
That was a really hard to parse title
Yeah that title was godawful
Car owners: “We can’t use that one lane now if it’s reserved for buses! This is bad! We want to use that lane!”
Random passers-by: “Well, if you want to use that lane so badly, why don’t you use a bus, then?”
Car owners: “We can’t! B-b-b-because…!” 😡“This doctor who has never had measles is vaccinating people!!1!”
I’m trying so hard to read this title lol
I’m also enjoying that “mamdani” is the new “omg libarels”
Mayor: based af Daily mail: biased af
wow so many [fill in the blank] isms in one sentence
They takin’ our lane, fuckin up everything
why don’t to you take the bus?
ain’t nobody take no busses, deys to slow.
And crackheads
Crackheads never worried me, catching a cold/flu on the light rail was pretty shitty though.
You’ve never been attacked by crackheads then
“Daily Mail is pure garbage.”
Correct.
“Takes away lane of road from motorists” is a wild way to say “Created a bus lane”. These people need help.
The only people who ride the bus are people I hate with wide eyed, red-faced, frothing rage.
I hope this is a description of the inner machinizations of the outraged crowd in question… rather than you being the example.
Whoa, whoa. Chill. It’s just a bus.
Why are you screaming like hell, buddy?
I’m sorry, that’s just my instinctive response to the b-word.
Let me get my daily fail headline translator out real quick:
“Came under fire” == “somebody tweeted”
“Fury” == “a bot tweeted”
“Outrage” == “one of our staff tweeted”
“Slammed” == “somebody liked our tweet”
I’m not versed into English poetry, but mysogyny and racism put asside, can someone tell me is it suppose to be a well written sentence or as ugly as I feel this is ?
That’s how English headlines are written. American ones are even more awkwardly terse.
Yeah the whole sentence sucks. I am convinced it’s meant to have people think “what the fuck are they even talking about?” and click.
Daily Mail writes at the level of it’s audience, and this is a Facebook Rant tier piece of journalism.
This is as ugly as you feel it is. Dumb people only read the headline, so newspapers written for dumb people try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.
try to jam all the points they want to make in the article into the headline.
the specific wording of specific headline aside, i like it far more than “you will never believe what this politician did!!!”
you SHOULD be able to tell what the article is about from the headline and only click for details if you are interested.
I can’t understand a single word of this from “who has never owned a car”.
“White female mamdani” is just fucking insane 💀 Also seattle is extremely woke compared to the rest of the us so good luck creating backlash. Its gonna be all the people from several states away who have nothing to do with it that complain. Same thing with NY, a lot of the people saying how “new york will fall” were from texas and whatever.
they had to emphasize she is white and a female, they dont consider her human. Mamdani has defintely got the dnc scared to the point they had to reveal thier true colors as racists and islamophobc like the gop they are.
Also seattle is extremely woke
It’s a satrap of the Boeing/Amazon Imperium with all the existential horror that implies.
Case in point, Seattle hosts no less than five Superfund Sites for toxic waste cleanup. You cannot fish in several of it’s major waterways due to the accumulated contamination.
It was a major perpetrator of Red Lining, creating enormous ghettos that suffer from neglect and hyper-policing to this day.
But we don’t have anyone in the City Council screaming the N-word during campaign events or promising to deport 100M people if elected to higher office, so it gets the reputation of Woke by comparison.
Same thing with NY, a lot of the people saying how “new york will fall” were from texas and whatever.
Corpus Christi is on the verge of losing water pressure across the entire municipality, because the city administration looted the funds for desalination facilities too aggressively.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg on Texas politics right now.
But sure, they’ve made a cottage industry of heckling the other major economic heavyweights in the country.
The “compared to the rest of the us” carried a lot of weight in my argument and you left that out in quoting me but other than that yeah i agree.
Oh no, I see it.
