Took advantage of the Whitney's free Friday to view some Sixties surrealism

And apparently we were lucky and just beat the roadblocks to arrive home to a very loud greeting from Jake. And now we're enjoying a family meal at our usual Panda after a circuitous trip through the 53rd/Lex subway station to bypass the blockades at 53rd and 52nd.

And we actually made it into LGA a few minutes early!

Fuck. We're scheduled to fly into LGA at 7:23pm, but I'm betting this will make us late getting home to the kitties.

Speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday

I am clearly not in NYC...

Tonight is The Art of the Fugue with Paul Jacobs on the organ

Not a review, but I enjoyed the excerpt in the ARB that arrived today!

Censoring online porn is a slippery slope | Xtra Magazine Tactics will hamper free speech, warn activists

I'd really like to see someone do an explainer that puts it all in historical context starting with when First Data killed iBill in 2004, maybe mentioning then-NYAG Andrew Cuomo's attempts at censoring Usenet in 2008, etc.

Sixtrum returns tonight with some classic works for marimbas

Tonight at TIME:SPANS is three new works with the Bozzini Quartet, Cassandra Miller's so new it's in the printed program as just "New Work" (the pre-show video roll now lists it as "Three Songs")

Tonight at TIME:SPANS was Ensemble Nikel with two workd premieres and a US premiere. Thanks to them for delaying the start by 10 minutes to accommodate those of us delayed by the weather (I had the slowest M12 ride ever, but didn't want to get out and walk with all the lightning).

Second night with the JACK Quartet at TIME:SPANS, this time for the first performance of Rand Steiger's complete Trilogy.

Those are the best articles at PC Gamer! Guaranteed I will click through and enjoy every time they pop up in my RSS reader.

It gives me great confidence in SSA's post-DOGE IT capabilities that they don't know how to properly HTML encode smart quotes...

Gotta love that lonely straight quote mark at the end of the paragraph, too.

Tonight is Dave Malloy's Ghost Quartet, aptly performed in Green-Wood Cemetery

Tonight will be BANANAS? With Nymphia Wind.

Quarters A, Brooklyn Navy Yard - Wikipedia

There's only one residence in the district: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter...

80% of ballots are already locked in to ZM or AC. So to win from a 7-point deficit AC would need to end up on top of ~66% of the remaining ballots. But 55% of those ballots had Lander as top choice, and 20% had Adrienne Adams, and there's no way AC is getting 66% of those.
