KRS-One – Turn The Volume Up [Verse 1] / Class in session now / Most can't take it but Imma spit it anyhow / Young 'uns getting money, it's funny they think they're ready now / Old folks gossip and bickering

Last night #ZohranMamdani directly challenged Orange with the phrase, "[Since] I know you’re watching, I've got four words for you: turn the volume up!” Where's that from? I'm not Mr. Hip Hop by any stretch of the imagination but Genius.com suggests it's #KRSOne... (Original link in the comments.)

Every day I hope it’s proven #JamesBaldwin was wrong about America, and every day I’m disappointed in some way…

One year today without Mom. Where does the time go?

I struggled to find some photos where she was really, really happy but I did find some, esp. on her phone. I'm never giving up that phone.

Luv ya and miss ya, Mom. #OneYearWithoutMom

Did my #CivicDuty thing in the very last hour of #EarlyVoting. So did hundreds of other Brooklyners. Nice to see an active electorate in this race.

As seen in #ParkSlope the other day.

"Is that an unusually large gourd or are you just happy to see me?"

#MayTheGourdBeWithYou, always...

#MediaLiteracy training is incomplete unless it includes both social media and AI literacy training.

Sorry, I should have written, "my husband" instead of Allan because y'all have no idea who he is, lol.

When I got home I found these two pieces of mail laid almost exactly like this on my reading stand. Allan swears he didn't do it on purpose. Oh, the subconscious she is powerful... #ZohranMamdani #WarbyParker

Today's #ItCameFromTheEighties #DeepThought: the title "The Greatest American Hero" implies there were additional non-American and/or not-as-great American heroes with suits out there. #TheGreatestAmericanHero

I needed what #SethGodin's #DailyCalendar had for me today:
"The #Future arrives whether we are ready for it or not."

That moment on the A train when the #NYCsubway diagram crashed because someone forgot to rotate system log files? #Priceless. #SubwayUnixHumor #SubwayDevOps

These two #TennisBalls were the same color before I hit the left one against the wall for 40 minutes yesterday. The wall had a green chalk drawing covering maybe 25% of its surface but that was enough to leave my ball 100% covered. #TheWallAlwaysWins

One of the most refreshing things during this year’s #USTennisOpen was #TaylorTownsend unashamedly and deliberately using #BlackEnglish terms/phrases when addressing fans and press. We should all #StandOnBusiness more…

Playing #tennis a few days before the U.S. Open started, the strings on my racquet happened to snap spectacularly while playing. This is me on the #NYCsubway taking it to be restrung before heading to Queens to watch the pros do their thing. #RacquetRestring

The agony and the ecstasy from recent #Subwaydle solves. I failed at the former with six tries at the middle train (it was 6-7-2), then with the latter just a couple of days later I scored a very rare for me "hole-in-one". #NYCsubway

Park Plaza Diner, Brooklyn Heights stalwart, to close after 42 years Thursday will be the last day of operation for Park Plaza Restaurant at 220 Cadman Plaza West in Brooklyn Heights.

Not my favorite #BrooklynHeights #NYCdiner but it was always a solid option. The history of the place can't be denied. In my gut I feel that POTUS's recent actions hastened the demise.

Maybe we'll head over and do one last brisket hash before they start liquidating on Friday... (Link in comments)

Some photos.

After a six month closure of all of their locations, Go! Go! Curry, NYC's venerable Japanese mini-chain restaurant is back! I made a special trip during this month's soft-reopening and got my favorite Home Run combo. The verdict: food quality must be improved but the atmosphere is back! #GoGoCurry

A white card with the text "Self-discipline makes freedom". The card lays flat on a slate grey/black surface.

The message the universe sent me today from the bottom of a discard pile of soon-to-be-shredded receipts.
