To the person that decided to “abbreviate” the word ‘Peace’ as ‘Peac.’ when entering metadata into the archives database, I just wanna talk.

I hate that these are covering the subway system, but I love that the vast majority are defaced. I didn’t get a shot of the one with “ENEMY LOL” added.

As I told @velshimsnbc.bsky.social, we've got an amazing tradition of nonviolent resistance in this country.

While ICE and Donald Trump deport our neighbors with violence and cruelty, now is the time for everyone to stand up and fight.

In my previous job I found the original 1970s outline and proposal for the job I was there doing. I made the mistake of adjusting the proposed salary for inflation which would have required a $20k raise. I don’t know that I have ever been more depressed about the field.

Without further ado, here is the trailer for Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

Against all odds, it will air in select theatres on October 2nd, along with the theatrical debut of Sex House.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

And, yes, this is real.
