What’s Mayor Mamdani’s plan for this? Typos are out of control.
Concept of ‘typos’ are a social construct as every DSA commissar well knows and a valuable subliminal social justice metric in the vanguard in world socialist totalitarian plans for planetary decolonization starting with UWS.
Mayor-elect, that is. Yes, we’re all eager for his mayorship to begin, but the time is not yet at hand.
I for one don’t really care about Mamdani’s hypothetical typo initiative so long as he leaves the Elizabeth Street Garden alone. That — unlike the overblown, paranoid nonsense so often sprouted here — is a real, legitimate concern.
Defund schools. Typos less noticeable.
He plans to decriminalize typos.
Make proper grammar classist.

Relax, Ped, not everything necessitates political commentary.
