New Larry's #100WordReviews of novel Brooklyn Motto by @haciendafilms.bsky.social

I came back online hoping to see some likes for my COLUMBO POST, not to learn about democrats sucking their own dick. I want a redo.
STRANGE BREW: just enough HAMLET. Just enough TRON.
Watching STRANGE BREW and really bummmed that Max Von Sydow was never in an episode of COLUMBO.

Fucking Tim Kaine. He shoulda hit the carousel, LOGAN’S RUN style, after his failed VP run.

Feel a little like an idiot cause I assumed Schumer was behind it but if he can’t control his folks, go away.
The only good thing about today is that it pretty much guarantees Chuck Schumer’s being primaried, and hopefully sent into obscurity.

Voted last week, but love that Zohran and his wife voted at Frank Sinatra High School for the Arts in Astoria, aka my kid's school. It's gonna happen.
On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.
