Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

For All Mankind is great because as it has gotten dumber and worse, as a TV show, it has also started exploring some of the most interesting science fiction ideas on TV. It's like gas leak The Expanse. I love it very much.
My god, look at Joel Kinnaman's old man makeup for the upcoming fifth season of For All Mankind:

If I hadn’t been watching the Knicks for 35 years I’d be surprised by this total collapse of theirs recently. Alas.

I love my town.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Good reminder that there is no place to put thoughts that you are having right now about what should be done. Keep them in your head. Consider ANYTHING you type as something that will be seen by the DHS. Notebooks are not safe either.
Every thought I have is one to keep to yourself, not even the group chat, so instead I'm going to look at manuscripts.

ICE just executed someone in cold blood in Minneapolis. The agency is frantically trying to spin it but the videos are already out there. Murderous fascist pigs.

Doing Metrocard Nostalgia is a great example of the city at its most navel-gazing. It was a flimsy piece of shit that didn’t work 30% of the time that you could fully break if you forgot it in your front pocket. Good riddance, I haven’t touched one in almost half a decade.

In the next four years you’ll see a lot of New York Post articles about City Hall that don’t make sense when you read them as an outsider because they’re just permission to hit the anger button in the reader’s brain. This is about seeing someone non-binary in power and getting permission to be mad.

Happy Wran's Day!

The Wren, or Lá An Dreoilín, is still strong in parts of Ireland (notably Kerry), with elements entwined with nature and the pagan roots of this time of year.

And down with the pan
Give us a penny to bury the wran"
