The Midtown movie that changed NYC’s sidewalks and plazas is coming to theaters “The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces” will be rereleased Sept. 26.

The cult classic “The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces,” long passed around on bootleg copies and shown on classroom projectors, features lovingly edited footage of people doing things city planners often overlooked: sitting, talking, people-watching and shaping their environment in real time.

Channel the energy you used to get Jimmy Kimmel back on the air into getting more Democrats elected.

'Sven' for short?

When using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

He (/his handler) also want to eliminate any paper records of actual votes.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.

Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.

Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

Putin looking afraid of Obama as they shake hands.

Trump looking like an oaf shaking Putin's hand; Putin with an evil grin.

I bet he'd hate if this side-by-side went viral.

Like clockwork, some of them.

Every Blue State must now Gerrymander to protect the Constitution.

Does autocorrect know something you don't?

I think you misspelled grift.

i just did this for $10/month. worth every penny.

And he hates everyone.

I gotta pay more attention to the hashtags. My husband is a master woodworker, so when I read 'pumpkin bed has been built' I was on an entirely different track.

He would absolutely design and build an art nouveau pumpkin bed in whatever size you want. Probably made of cherry and padouk.

Yes I do! A very wise cat took me on as a project and explained it all to me.

What they built in a week in no way qualifies as housing. It doesn't even meet the bar for kennels - not in a hurricane zone anyway.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

The Fourth Of July The America That Could Be

I love my Oregon senators!

Text at top: Care By Any Other Name - Medicaid in the States List of Medicaid Program names by state Source: Healthcare.gov

Thinking about how many people in the US don't realize they depend on Medicaid because it may be called something else in their state.

#ProtectMedicaid! Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO!

People with their brains askew.

But the widdle ICY snowflakes might get hurt! Waaah. Safer to round up the kiddies and old ladies.

That was my first thought, since there's no other way to get over it.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Whose writing is that? The syntax is not trumpian.

They need to plan a strategic multi facility strike with warrants from a judge in hand and police to help serve the warrants. All at the same time across several states. So they can’t shuffle people around and they can’t be denied entry or the facilitators will be arrested.

Congress is rebranding the BIG budget bill “Healthcare Reform.” Nonsense. The bill will gut Medicaid, affect Medicare [YES, Medicare!] & reduce ACA enrollment—to fund tax cuts for the rich. Are you enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare or the ACA now? What if the bill passes? Then what? @lwvus.bsky.social
