Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Why universal child care is closer than ever in New York One of Zohran Mamdani’s most expensive ideas has surprising early momentum.

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent.

More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Happy The Pitt premiere day!

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Seeing lots of people post clips from Sinatra in "The House I Live In" as a response to Stephen Miller being a racist about Sinatra. Just a random reminder that "The House I Live In" is in the public domain. Every once in a while it's good to remember the public domain is good...

John Oliver has said this explicitly FYI

That without local news he couldn't do his show (and to his credit, he's pretty good about crediting his news sources)

Pluribus finale recap, Episode 9: 'La Chica o El Mundo' Carol and Manousos finally meet, and the season ends with a spectacular mic drop

Pluribus finale recap has been updated to acknowledge an absolutely shameful HamlinFone(*)-related failure on my part:

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

The Antisemitism Post (tm) Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends

Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Whenever language around what people deserve and what they don't deserve in the US comes around I am reminded at how much this is a game to people, how they can't fathom real lives

Not just politicians, but literally our neighbors. The cruelty people will put onto others without a second thought

Fully half of the budget for acquiring new books and materials could be cut. CPL currently has $10 million to spend on books and materials. The 2026 budget leaves them with $5 million.

I will ALWAYS repost this clip whenever someone evil dies

Illustration of sharks of different size and species. The species range from a large Whaleshark to a small Spiny Dogfish. The sharks are many colors: green, blue, teal, and pink. There is seaweed behind them and a dark abyss of an ocean

Had the chance to illustrate for Quanta again, and got to draw one of my favorite animals: sharks! This is for “Shark Data Suggests Animals Scale Like Geometric Objects” by Joanna Thompson. It was really fun to focus on all sorts of species, from the large Whale Shark to the small Spiny Dogfish

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

There’s a Steep Cost for Ignoring Black Expertise We live in a world bent on undermining Black life.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.
