“Peter Hujar’s Day” Gives the Past a New Life Ira Sachs’s film, starring Ben Whishaw as the renowned photographer and Rebecca Hall as his interviewer, is a personal memorial for the protagonist and his milieu.

Ira Sachs’s film “Peter Hujar’s Day,” starring Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall, is “a requiem for Hujar and for the many other members of the downtown art scene lost to AIDS,” @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/TLoPBB

Snuck out for a quick photo of tonight's hazy full Moon in #SantaBarbara right before #Mamdani took the stage. Good thing I did then too because I can barely see it now!
What an incredible day this has been!

A Facebook post from Abigail Spanberger reads:
“Thank you, Norfolk! Take it from President Barack Obama — there’s too much at stake to sit Tuesday’s election out.
This is our opportunity to chart a new course forward for Virginia — and your vote will set an example for the rest of the country along the way.”
Photos show Spanberger and Obama at a campaign rally with a large American flag and “VOTE” signs behind them.

Abigail Spanberger is about to make history as the first woman governor of the state of Virginia!

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

The Pentagon’s gone dark and Johnson’s calling it “transparency”

KARL: “The guy’s only had two briefings since he became Secretary of Defense… they’ve basically forced the Pentagon press out of the building…”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I can’t remember… a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent.”

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

While federal workers are missing paychecks, Congress still gets paid. It’s not right. As long as this shutdown continues, I’ll be donating my salary to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund to support the workers and families who are feeling the pain of GOP dysfunction.

This says everything about these people. Although calling them people is probably inaccurate. Hateful.
