I am a writer living in Brooklyn, which makes me completely indistinguishable from 4/5 of people living in Brooklyn.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

I remember walking by Chuck Schumer at the finish line of the Brooklyn Half-Marathon earlier this year.
In retrospect, I should have taken a moment to tell him, "Fuck you. Retire, bitch."

Finally saw Malcolm X, and glad I got to see it on the big screen. A biopic the overcomes the biopic trap of oversimplification, with Denzel and Spike both operating on another level.
Honorable mention:
Linda Linda Linda as part of the 20th anniversary re-release. Such glorious teenage feelings.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.
