Award-winning ad writer. Or so I'm told. Also, voiceover actor, lover of film, cats, dogs and chocolate. Passionate, crazy and at times impulsive. Trinbagonian 🇹🇹 by birth, world citizen by heart.

So, I remember when my late uncle Mervyn brought home a jar of Sanka Instant Coffee from New York back in 1979. I still have it home. I thought: let me look for it online and:
Voila.
Voila.

Liquid black hunter of formless, invisible prey:
Sleep vulnerable,
Though steeped in stupor
Shrouded, then unveiled to
light's piercing glory.
Defeat kept at bay.
Would that it could turn
A week into a day.

You may not agree with his politics or everything he says but Mayor Mamdani is expressing at the moment the best face of humanity for an American politician.
More of this, please.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

The amazing Sir Ian McKellen.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

For the last couple of nights, I've had a drink made of watermelon and ground flaxseed.
And lemme tell ya-that certainly puts quite the jolt in one's piston, if you know what I mean (and I think you do)😁

Charles Exum. That is the name of the ICE agent who shot Ms Martinez 7 times, claiming she rammed his car, later admitting that this had not happened as there was no damage to her car but bullet holes. Took trophy photos of her Please be sure his name is everywhere. Charles Exum. Attempted murderer.

If Bezos thinks he can do this and get away with it, he'd better think again. No amount of wealth can save an individual from the reckoning to come.
I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
