Sauronhenge is calling. Are you ready? What if Brooklyn had its own uniquely evil solar phenomenon? Well good news, now we do!

The Eye of Sauron building looks evil enough already, but does the sun every line up in the exact way to create an even eviler Eye of Sauronhenge effect?

Well, we did the math and the answer is: yes, and it's happening soon. Read more about it in the @nygroove.nyc nygroove.nyc/eye-of-sauro...

I can probably assist

Walking tour group standing in the park. A freeway overpass crosses overhead and a large metal pipe (scupper) that drains runoff from the freeway can be seen on the supporting pillar. The end of the scupper can’t be seen but when it rains, it just discharges on the ground where the group is standing.

A walkway, under construction, crossing over a very green and marshy body of water. Beneath the bridge are metal tide gates preventing water flow. This is Tide Gate Bridge in Flushing Meadows.

A freeway overpass crossing above a large body of standing water (Flushing Creek). The water is very green and marshy. This is in the northeast part of Flushing Meadows.

Team #DontRankCuomo all in!

Simply one of the greatest to ever do it. Read them all, but start with "American Ground." It's hard to appreciate what a bombshell that was when it was published, challenging post-9/11 assumptions about the FDNY.

Too many New Yorkers are under the impression that Cuomo would stand up to Trump because he, too, is a blustering, abusive person. But in reality, Cuomo is being backed by Trump donors. Trump recently said he likes him. Cuomo has avoided criticizing Trump or his authoritarian takeover.

55 years ago today, 4 students at Kent State University were killed for protesting the Vietnam war.

We must stand against war, militarism, and government attacks on protest.

Interior of a cathedral church in the French Gothic style from the center aisle facing the altar. In the crossing is suspended an enormous sculpture of the moon. About 20 feet in diameter, the moon fills most of the volume in the high pointed arch of the center of the building.

Another view of the moon sculpture from underneath, showing the ceiling ribs of the transcept behind it.

One of the large stained glass windows at the end of the transept with a wishbone shaped arch in stone in front of it. The moon sculpture appears floating in the upper left corner of the image in the foreground.

An oblique view of the moon sculpture from underneath and corner detailing of the crossing in the background. In the Gothic style, the arches in the stonework are pointed at the top and the columns are carved so as to look like bundles of thinner columns. At the bottom of the photo is one of the capitals with carvings depicting an eagle surrounded by foliage.

Cuomo's reputation for "competence" is a totally imaginary media creation, designed to dupe liberals in a blue area into electing a conservative. His governorship was a series of embarrassing fuckups! Over and over! Didn't matter because media understood alternative to Cuomo would be a progressive

NYC voters must also not forget how Cuomo worked tirelessly as governor to betray the legislative agenda of his fellow Democrats by helping Republicans maintain a NY State Senate majority from 2011 to 2018 through the IDC.

Glad to see someone's calling out how the media has covered Cuomo with kid gloves since he announced his campaign.

For about a year, I worked with a retired British academic named Alasdair Spark to solve a mystery: where did the original photo from the end of The Shining come from, and where/when was it captured?
Last week, we finally found the answer.

Finally, some good fucking news

Saw us on TV yesterday? Let us introduce ourselves, and how you can help.

DREAM–Don’t Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor–is a campaign to stop the two men who have done the most to hurt New Yorkers from running the greatest city on earth.

For 8 of his 10 years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo cut a deal to let a Republican minority run the New York state legislature. No wonder they want him to run NYC.

Please share widely. I'm not above begging for Retweets if it means we end up showing how much New Yorkers, even those that initially opposed the program, now see the necessity of Congestion Pricing and show up to Oppose Trump's nonsense.

someBODY once told me
this baby would be holy
the son of God was born in a shed
three gifts did we confer
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh
as the horses looked on from their horse bed
