One thing the Scorsese and Billy Joel documentaries have in common, besides the most mellifluous accents imaginable, is the insistence that they could not and did not do it alone. Schoonmaker, De Niro, DiCaprio, and to a lesser extent Pileggi and Schrader help form "Martin Scorsese" like Voltron.

9th grade English, we read The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail.
Someone posted some prompt along the lines of "name one book that changed your world" or something like that. Choosing a single book is hard, but I think I was in 5th or 6th grade when my dad handed me a dog-eared copy of Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward"
It explains a lot of my world view now.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

I know it’s not actually chocolate milk but it’d be a lot cooler if it was.
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

I hope it's respectful today to recommend Adam McKay's movie "VICE," a bio-pic of Dick Cheney with one more amazing transformation by Christian Bale, a brilliant choice for narrator, and some truly daring/nuts fourth-wall breaking.

Wow, time flies. Happy 20th birthday to the Gateway Film Center, fka the Drexel Gateway. No greater thrill than seeing a movie you helped make on a big screen.
