Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react:

"People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

It's October 21, New York City — population 8.5 million people — has had a grand total of 255 homicides for the year; and the feds are using an armored vehicle/thing to drive the six blocks from Canal/Broadway to Lafayette/Duane after hassling the guys selling Gucci fakes.

"Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages… a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. [...] so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.”

Not to be all "I miss the old days with the asbestos and smog" but I do miss when actors had different and interesting faces. Remember when actors had wrinkles and still considered to be traditionally good looking

Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum on the set of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).

i have one vaguely meaningful tattoo and it's so annoying to explain (because people always ask) that i just say it's flash. everything else, even my custom stuff, is just "ooh, pretty!!!"/"i really like this artist." got another one scheduled & it's the same thing

one of my friends' husbands had an irish cross (I think?) from a million years ago that was starting to get spotted in white supremacist/fash/alt-right circles, and he got it covered up! The artist even offered to do it for free! No excuse.

I texted this thread to my friend who loves cooks illustrated & this is an interesting wrinkle

I know this is a little startup-brained but they could make $$$ from selling ditch weed to anxious 30-somethings who want to smoke but get absolutely curb-stomped by most dispensary weed. I mean, not me. But other people. I heard.
