Oh and at one point, one cop pepper-sprayed another cop. (Around the 12-second mark.)

similarly for anyone looking to replace Spotify, actual DJs at NTS, The Lot Radio, East Village Radio, and KPISS all stream, are searchable by show, and led me to entire genres I didn’t know I’d love (like disco cumbia)
happy to say irl indie bookstores in NYC are doing ok because of exactly this

also: with the exception of sci fi you CAN judge a book by its cover - do it! Surprise yourself with something that catches your eye!
an algorithm has never surprised me with something amazing from outside my range of interests, civil society was greatly harmed by the extinction of the loadies behind the counters of independent video and record shops

car dipshits trying to maneuver in a walking city
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

“She reads and prays with him and takes him to the arcade Dave & Buster’s “more than anyone has ever been,” Dos Santos Rodrigues said.”

This is already awful, but that chain arcade tix are the measure of loving parenting in this country is something even Harlan Ellison would’ve thought too much
I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

There’s gatekeeping, then there’s being the sole person with desired footage who thinks calling a reviewer out by digging up their private info is a good business move
HEADS UP: The owner of YIPEE-KAI YAI MOVIEGOER, who is releasing a bunch of Albert Pyun films, has angrily called and threatened someone who criticized one of their releases for using AI.

RIP Udo Kier. Had an incredible evening circa 2009 seeing him interviewed by Bruce LaBruce onstage in Toronto. “So you were roommates with Fassbinder?” asked LaBruce. “AH YES!” replied Udo. “Vee vere… ‘room mates’!”

people ask me about my necklaces, and this is one of the few I didn’t make; I love Helen’s work

I have a porcelain original from a sample sale, and there is definitely a reason for the switch from fragile clay to meaty metal
