Saw Ann Lee there today with like 6 other people at 11:00 a.m. But it’s an art movie that’s been out for a month.
Melania, 6pm, Brooklyn Alamo. Ok, which two of you is this

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Took advantage of sabbatical to attend last-chance late-morning 70MM screening of TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE.

It’s something anyone who actually cooks should have at least mild opinions on (e.g. buying real rather than fake which is not a self-evident decision in your average Kroger).
olive oil is a legitimate interest

For years, it was a tradition: church in the morning, a trip to the diner, and a neighborhood screening of “Einstein on the Beach.” But residents in Toms River told me: after Glass dumped Trump, they won’t be listening anymore.

Philip Glass has working-class cred as a former dishwasher repairman (when he switched styles of music and had trouble getting by).

At some point, a multi-month pause, whether due to malice or incompetence, needs to be lifted, and NJ and NY are doing everyone a disservice by quietly hoping someone at DOT will hit the play button voluntarily. It's probably time to file what I also think is a slam-dunk suit.
The “pause” would be shot down in about 5 seconds in court, it’s just everyone at GDC probably would rather DOT actually be proactive rather than be forced licking and screaming to release the obligated (both contractually and more broadly by act of law) funds.

Funding has been off since October. This should be a complete national scandal on top of all other national scandals. The administration is holding our money hostage while they make up new rules.
Work on the Hudson River Rail tunnel will end on February 6 if federal funding isn’t restored, Gateway Project officials said this morning.

The Trump regime cut off funding last year in the early hours of the government shutdown.

exactly. 'the most reasonable package that will pass' is what you get argued *down to*, not what you suggest in the face of an invasion of a blue city
So much of this negotiation seems less for the nation than the most cowardly 8 members of the Senate caucus.

Which is getting old.

They need to take the keys to social media away from all their fash staffers not just Bovino.
Is the suggestion here that the Goods and the Prettis aren’t “real victims,” that they don’t deserve the administration’s concern?

This is related to intriguing-sounding but Dimes Square-adjacent intellectual events I see advertised.
and they are almost certainly listening for the vicarious thrill of hearing people voice and affirm their personal prejudices. they’ll be openly fash in a few years

Many such cases.
really quite funny that weiss is a one-trick pony and that trick is “give jobs to my dumbass friends”
Turns out that Bari Weiss's all hands at CBS today is to announce she's bringing on some anti-vax guys and Niall Ferguson. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/b...

Treating 2020 as an act of God that tragically undermined Trump, rather than the culmination of years of misrule, isn't just something regular people did, it's a perspective elite centrists actively cultivated to try to put the brakes on progressive politics

What’s funny about the Oscar race this year is the CHUDs are mad at One Battle After Another because it’s “woke” and makes fun of white supremacists but they can’t derail it from winning everything because then the big winner would be SINNERS which is woker and makes more fun of white supremacists

It’s possible to be an urbanist who loves LA but you have to vibe with it. If you show up and say “where’s the city?” you’re not going to enjoy it.
in part this because los angeles is not actually a city, but the holy roman empire in a trench coat with portfolio of headshots
Los Angeles is almost certainly the worst governed major blue city in the entire country at this point

Went to excellent event at @museumofcityny.bsky.social with Ric Burns and Jonathan Mahler discussing THE GODS OF NEW YORK. Especially moving to hear about New York as an idea under threat.
