Pennie Smith photographed Paul Simonon of The Clash at the New York Palladium, September 20, 1979.

She made one of the most famous images in (punk) rock history.

The Eye of Sauron building looks evil enough already, but does the sun every line up in the exact way to create an even eviler Eye of Sauronhenge effect?

Well, we did the math and the answer is: yes, and it's happening soon. Read more about it in the @nygroove.nyc nygroove.nyc/eye-of-sauro...
Sauronhenge is calling. Are you ready?
What if Brooklyn had its own uniquely evil solar phenomenon? Well good news, now we do!

Simply one of the greatest to ever do it. Read them all, but start with "American Ground." It's hard to appreciate what a bombshell that was when it was published, challenging post-9/11 assumptions about the FDNY.

Too many New Yorkers are under the impression that Cuomo would stand up to Trump because he, too, is a blustering, abusive person. But in reality, Cuomo is being backed by Trump donors. Trump recently said he likes him. Cuomo has avoided criticizing Trump or his authoritarian takeover.

Cuomo's reputation for "competence" is a totally imaginary media creation, designed to dupe liberals in a blue area into electing a conservative. His governorship was a series of embarrassing fuckups! Over and over! Didn't matter because media understood alternative to Cuomo would be a progressive
New York City’s campaign finance regulators rejected mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo’s request for around $2.5 million in public matching funds Tuesday, an embarrassing glitch for a bid predicated on experience and competence.

Cuomo, front-runner in the New York mayor’s race, denied millions in matching funds
The former governor’s campaign failed to file the proper paperwork to receive the tranche of cash.

NYC voters must also not forget how Cuomo worked tirelessly as governor to betray the legislative agenda of his fellow Democrats by helping Republicans maintain a NY State Senate majority from 2011 to 2018 through the IDC.

For about a year, I worked with a retired British academic named Alasdair Spark to solve a mystery: where did the original photo from the end of The Shining come from, and where/when was it captured?

For 8 of his 10 years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo cut a deal to let a Republican minority run the New York state legislature. No wonder they want him to run NYC.
As Trump tries to dismantle the social safety net and attacks our fundamental rights, New Yorkers have been wondering why Andrew Cuomo refuses to criticize him.

Now we know: they share the same donors.

Please share widely. I'm not above begging for Retweets if it means we end up showing how much New Yorkers, even those that initially opposed the program, now see the necessity of Congestion Pricing and show up to Oppose Trump's nonsense.
