been thinking about this a lot and want to (again) plug Astoria Food Pantry which will need extra funding to help our neighbors if/when SNAP benefits are cut off. we've already been running out of food faster than usual this month—any donation amount will help! givebutter.com/afp2025

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

As a Native New Yorker I know at least two dozen Curtis Sliwas, many of whom are far less racist, so the continued outpouring about him from people who aren’t from here is at once very funny and very unsettling

Look, he's a weird right wing freak, but more of the country's weird right wing freaks should aspire to be like Curtis Sliwa and less like everyone involved in MAGA.

Next: Thompson Street, named after William Thompson, a "not very distinguished" general. A car with a Vermont plate nearly grazed Burns, but he was unfazed;
Vermont was not yet a state during the Revolution, "so how can he hit me?" He passed a Marc Jacobs (not a general) boutique and hit Wooster Street, named after General David Wooster. As he crossed Greene ("You cannot say enough about the importance of Nathanael Greene"), a bro in a backward cap started filming Burns on his own smartphone and asked, "What do you do for a living"
"Ignore strangers," Burns said
"Hey, a stranger's a friend in disguise," the bro replied.
"I'm just teasing you. I'm a filmmaker"
"Have you made something that I might have heard of?"
"Doubtful," Burns said, and scurried away. He stopped at Mercer Street

Ireland’s Agony The Burning of Cork by British forces took place on the night of December 11th and 12th 1920 during the Irish War of Independence. It followed

The British Pathe title card for this film of the 1920 burning of Cork describes it as a “mystery fire” 🤔

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

NYC-area folks! Please come out to this "New Yorkers Against ICE" rally tomorrow at 6:00PM in Foley Square. My union helped organize this action, and we're hoping for a big turnout. Foley Square is just a couple of blocks away from the immigration courthouses where ICE is kidnapping our neighbors.

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.
