crazy how the two opinions you’re allowed to have about american politics are ‘the healthiest guy shouldn’t get eaten by the leopard’ and ‘the weakest guy shouldn’t get eaten by the leopard.’ and then if you say ‘can we take the leopard out of the house’ theyre like ‘YOU WANT TO BLOW UP OUR HOUSE’

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.
Thank you, Brooklyn! Getting to represent the neighborhoods that raised me is the greatest privilege of my life.

Genuinely, it would rule if this presaged a big change in logo typography for the rest of the 2020s
Not the point at all, but someday, when the dust has settled, we need to talk about how good that logo is

From now through November, we're gonna hear about how NYC is different and how we cannot think that what works here will work everywhere.
But this part absolutely will: Create an active (not reactive) vision for what the world could be. Motivate people to build that world together, with you. Win.

Someone in the Discord for my newsletter described the Academy's fervent support for Emilia Perez as "A show of support for trans people, but delivered like a cat proudly dropping a half-dead mouse on your pillow," and that's more or less it.

This movie asks a lot of questions I'm really interested in, such as: what if a Movie was Good?
Physical media just got way more TWISTED!! That's right, you clowns! Soon you can bring Joker the Harlequin into your home via (purple!!!!!) VHS and Blu-ray/DVD (with tons of special feats and a zine that tells the whole story of how we made it)!!

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
