Seven musicians open up about navigating the complications and cruelty of American health care: ‘You realize the whole system is broken, religion is broken, government is fucking broken — you’re on your own.’
‘You Realize the Whole System Is Broken’

My feature on how musicians deal with the American medical system is here, with artists detailing their struggles to get decent care for cancer, gender-affirming care, chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and catastrophic injuries. This one is important to me, so please take a few mins to read it!

CMJ and all the indie venues, when the city felt like a playground for seeing live music. The Hifi jukebox and other bars of that ilk, with good tunes and dirt cheap beer so you only needed to a few 20s in your pocket.
I'm not going to read the NYT story but I do want to hear what other people would put in their "Lost New York" takes, mine would include Dr Zizmor ads and the free transfer between the Broadway G/Lorimer JMZ stops

Healthcare is a human right. With the New York Health Act, we’ll end premiums, co-pays, and deductibles — for good. Single-payer healthcare for all New Yorkers.

I know it’s easy to poke holes in Catholic anything, but for those of a certain age who grew up in it, this is a big ass deal. Leo rocks.
One of thirty transgender women who attended today’s pope-hosted lunch with Sr. Geneviève Jeanningros says she received “violent messages ” in the lead up to today, but writes she was at a “grade A reception” with Leo. She delivered a letter to Pope on behalf of all transgender persons.

Famously, what people loved most about the Biden era was being told what they were experiencing at the grocery store was not actually happening.
Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied. Because they talked about 'Oh, prices are up' -- no, prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially."

Firing workers then going after the union is an unsettling escalation. A step beyond “until morale improves, the beatings will continue.”
