This NYT story, absurdly, refers to Washington as “the gayest city in America.”
If you click the link, the data actually shows that the District of Columbia is the gayest state or state-like entity in America. That's really different!

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

One of the happiest things to happen in my lifetime is that SMiLE — the masterpiece lost to madness, the perfect record trapped in a parallel universe, the unmet promise of ’60s pop — is now just a wonderful album that you can listen to whenever you like

Brian Wilson was my friend and my brother in songwriting.
We shared a similar sensibility, as evidenced by his 4 over 5 chord under “Aaaah!” in "Good Vibrations” and mine under "I’m into something good.”
We once discussed who used it first, and in the end we decided it didn’t matter.

there's a moment in smarter-than-average zombie movies where it becomes clear that the zombies are threatening but amoral, and that the real villains are the human beings who are responding to the situations created by the zombie outbreak in weak or reprehensible ways

A thing about not being on social media anymore is you sometimes have a thought that one million people have surely already expressed but it’s still new to you. Anyway: “POV” used to mean “Here’s a video from this POV” but now it just means “Here's a video of this thing from an external POV”
