i feel this way about CITIZEN KANE, which is a very fun and funny movie
People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.
so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

Two artist couples bought a Park Slope tenement for $100,000 in 1983 and gutted it, turning dark railroad units into Soho-style lofts over an art gallery.

Today in 1971 — a ban on cigarette commercials went into effect on American TV.
ABC News marked the occasion with a montage of vintage cigarette ads.
Nostalgia, like nicotine, is a hell of a drug.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

so while most of you have been absolutely lovely — and thanks for that btw! — it is sadly time for the quarterly reminder: if you are being "playfully" rude in the replies of someone you have not met, you are just being rude. you have not yet earned the good faith required for joking rudeness!

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.
The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.
Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.

ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Interesting thread on the origin of the MetroCard!
The retirement of the MetroCard at midnight tonight is bittersweet for me. In 1983, as a young lawyer, I took a year's leave of absence from my law firm to serve as special counsel to Richard Ravitch, chairman of the NY MTA. He gave me the task of leading a study ...
It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started.
Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.
