Never been so proud to be a New Yorker

Yes!
If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

So weird that the @nytimes.com doesn't seem to find this release of photos notable enough to cover so far... mysterious.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

It would be hilarious if after the Supreme Court ceded all that power to the executive branch, but before Trump was able to rig the elections, a socialist got elected and used that power for universal healthcare, wealth tax, climate justice etc and those programs became too popular to kill.

Probably the biggest fear of every Gen X'er, by far, was quicksand.

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

The fella behind "Friendsgiving is gay." His username is a big bowl of "what the actual fuck???"

And what does "ball knower" mean?

We're making a movie! Still early days, but after a couple years of rolling a tiny pebble into a chunky snowball, it’s time to say it out loud…

It's dark comedy crime drama: Fargo v Uncut Gems with the moral rot of Breaking Bad

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Huh. Uh... sure.

Of course, without his contributions political polarization, shifting wealth away from the middle and working classes, and emboldening a GOP theory unitary executive power, perhaps he wouldn't have had to be "courageous and clear.

MF'er paved the goddamn road for Trump.
"At a time when many lost their voice, he was courageous and clear in his denunciation of the man and the movement that now threatens the well-being and future of the nation he loved." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on Dick Cheney: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-r...

As a NYC voter (n of 1, but I’m hardly alone) I can say that if voting for someone will chagrin Trump, that’s a plus.

If Trump does decide to punish NYC, I’ll just say I don’t think he’s prepared for the NY’er tendency to rally in common cause when confronted with external threats
In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

Follow up call with an EP where I started to realize they're actually pitching us...

Lots to think about.

Not selected for Film Independent Fast Track. Not surprised, exactly—they're looking for projects that are a little more packaged, which makes sense, but ngl, am a bit disappointed.

That said, we've been having some pretty interesting meetings of late...

Onward!
