Growing up in an 18th century house museum has given me very strong, very niche home decor opinions
e.g. wall pockets are superior to vases for flowers
salt belongs in a cellar, not a shaker
Beds need curtains
I can go on

As a NYer who already gets their groceries at a city-run grocery store - Essex Market, first of its name, may it go on forever - I genuinely think Mamdani should aim higher than one in each borough. Cause we already have that, and it's awesome, so let's expand so everyone has one nearby.

Nadine Gordimer's incredible, and incredibly strange, apartheid novel A SPORT OF NATURE has been my slowest reading experience in ages. It's dense, allusive, & is deeply grounded in a period I know shamefully little about.
Halfway through, and I need to talk about it. Anyone else read it???

I’ve read The Riders a dozen times since I first discovered it as a battered used paperback in ‘98 or so. Like most of my favorite novels, it’s bewildering that I would connect with a story so utterly apart from my own experience. And yet, and yet.
So anyway, this is spectacularly bad casting

Yeah, no, fuck alllllll the way off, Cuomo. NYC doesn’t need an egotistical bully with daddy issues and a shaky grasp of appropriate workplace conduct.
If I thought for one second he wanted to help people and not just exact revenge on folks who dared to stand up to him then *maybe.* But no.
