RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

I love all his history videos with that wooden desk. This one especially, especially right now!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Shades of Anne Frank

Sophie Sherry @sophiesherry.bsky.social · 6d

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

NYC retail shops: Bluestockings bookstore is gone. Both Manhattan Babeland stores are gone. Now A & J Lingerie is closing. Very sad

So relieved that the proposal for a Coney Island casino was voted down. I love Coney Island.

Now, if they would release the Epstein files, that would also be good.

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

Eric Adams surrounded by members of the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation. He is wearing a blue velvet jacket that is embroidered with gold Magen David’s and other Jewish seeming patterns, including multiple menorahs. Everyone else is just in button down shirts or normal suits. He is not blending in.

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Only an Idiot Would Think We Need Anti-Abortion Democrats

It's beyond time to stop listening to Ezra Klein.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is delaying their inflation report. Tariffs have pushed prices up a lot. I'm sure the numbers are looking very bad. Also, Trump promised grocery prices would go down. Didn't happen. Also, Epstein files

Hard to think of many artists of the last fifty years more clear-sighted than this: David Wojnarowicz, "Democracy at Work," 1990

A graphic image showing the Grim Reaper clothed in dollar bills, with one edge labeled "'Democracy' at Work," and various figures being injured by the reaper's scythe, with spatters of blood labeled "unemployment," "killer cops," "homophobia," etc. The sun above is emblazoned with a swastika built of dollars

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 29d

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.
