New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

One of my favorite Sammy Davis Jr. musical numbers. I wonder if Fosse was a bit starstruck directing him. Out of all the Rat Pack, I think Sammy made the smoothest transition into the 60s. Frankie in his nehru jacket & love beads seemed a bit forced. youtu.be/GS1rEJOz9Hc?...

There were SO MANY squirrels in the park today. It started to get kinda weird. It was like that movie The Birds but with squirrels. In that last picture, the little guy was running right towards me & then stopped. I think he wanted to fight.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

You'll never guess what book got the Carroll ISD school library advisory committee to say "genitals" a dozen times in 20 minutes. @txfreedomread.bsky.social will have more on this story soon, but for now, you have to hear this audio. open.substack.com/pub/franklin...
Please don’t say “genitals” one more time, Carroll ISD SLAC.
