Just read your latest newsletter and thought it was time to share this photo I took in 2023 of a sticker posted on a lamppost at E86th St & 3rd Ave

Thanks for all your vital work. Keep up the fight & LFGM!
Close-up photo of a silver holographic sticker that was pasted on a light pole on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. A black and white photo of Elie Mystal in a black pinstripe jacket, open-collared white dress shirt, glasses and trademark afro (darker than its current gray). The top of his hair disappears into the psychedelic rainbow background of the hologram. The hologram reflection produces bright orange and yellow on his face and neck as if he’s erupting in flames. He looks straight at you with a deceptively gentle smirk. Text above and to the left says, “Turning lemons into lemonade since 1619” - Elie Mystal

DREAM & DRAME

Don’t Rank Eric Adams Mayor
Don’t Rank Andrew Mayor Either
An anti-Andrew Cuomo banner hangs on a Brooklyn apartment building. There’s an image of a blue and white Greek diner-style paper coffee cup with “Don’t Rank Cuomo” written on it in Phoenician font. Above the cup, in the same font is a message “Tired of Chaos and Corruption?” below it “NYC Election June 24”

I’m so glad we have longer videos on Bluesky now because Orson needs multiple takes.

Farewell sweet Ruby. You left us too suddenly and too soon. You made us a family.

You’re in our hearts forever. 💔
An old boy and his dog enjoying a hot summer day in the park. His head is over hers, both looking into the camera. Ruby and her sister Weezy lie next to each other in a messy bed. Ruby and Shara on a large stump look into each other’s eyes. Shara’s going to hate that I posted her photo but I think it’s a very sweet image. Ruby had such sweet, beautiful, expressive eyes. She’s laying on the couch next to Shara looking up at her with love. Shara loves her too. So do I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was talking about pie charts with my kid a while back and somehow, this Yo La Circle Graph happened:
Sloppy, hand-drawn pie chart with pink, red, green, and blue sections. It is titled: “What are Yo La Tengo” songs about? Sections: Green: BA DA BA DA WHOOO! Red: Ira apologizing to Georgia Blue: CELEBRITY IN TITLE (not discussed in song) Pink: Hot chicken, octopads, sweaters . . .something.

Unfortunately I got sick last month and had to sell my tickets to Yo la Tengo’s Hanukkah Night 2 show, but my t-shirt arrived today!

Two great things that go great together!

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night.

Settings > Apps > (pick an app) > Siri > Learn From this App

TOGGLE OFF.

You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😡
Screenshot of a phone setting highlighting the “learn from this app” invasion of privacy, courtesy of Siri, toggled on. The app is a password manager, which is concerning.
