New York City is so vibrant and ridiculous and occasionally miserable. I miss it so much.
Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

Absolutely nothing going on in that sweet little head.

Absolutely nothing going on in that sweet little head.
We're gifting my grandparents a year of the Criterion Channel and I'm slowly writing them a list recommendations. Sharing them here for fun and to keep myself honest.
My grandfather is a general cinephile while my grandmother has an affection for pulp heroes, Godzilla, and anything not too serious.

The best part of Rogue One is imagining the oral history of its production that we’ll never get to read.
i would push rogue one down and bring solo and the last jedi up. i’d also place attack of the clones at the bottom.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Train Dreams (2025)
This hit *really* hard for me, even when it occasionally felt like Terence Malick lite.
Maybe the most incongruous movie to watch on Netflix of all places.

Oh to have a fraction of the confidence in myself as my kid has in me.
We were talking about running and I mentioned I used to run a decent 5k. Wide eyed, they responded with "Wow, 5000 miles".
