Happy birthday Catherine Deneuve !
We love you.

My god it’s hideous

Sending you my sincere condolences

So New York will be militarized just before the general election ???

Has the Louvres heist reached the level of emotion that was reached with the Notre Dame fire 🔥?

Americans are not laughing, oh no.

"New polling, though, reinforces how much the thrust of the 'No Kings' message has resonated with much of the American public," writes Aaron Blake | Analysis https://cnn.it/47fOYyb

Let’s see how it goes. Early voting starts this weekend !

He already played the Diabelli, beautifully, at Carnegie Hall.
The January recital seems pretty sold out but if I am not out of town, I will try to get tickets. Since his Goldberg with Abramovic (2015), I have not missed any of his New York concerts.

Matthias Goerne and Daniil Trifonov’s journey to the heart of Winter in Toronto

A star beloved by New Yorkers!

Highly recommended. The soprano has little to no rival in this repertoire!

“Now a Lieder lion approaching winter, Goerne might do well to steer his focus away from the youthful Miller and toward something else that better fits his current style.”

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

Ergo one of them always figures he better get the prize and escape jail before another betrays him and beats him it to the prize. There is no trust between crooks, so flattering their dishonesty often works and always costs less than indemnifying the insured for the lost items.

Iro the Louvre’s stolen jewels, which are likely uninsured. There’s one solution insurers use to retrieve stolen goods. A prize. A big one. Usually one of the thieves will betray the others to get the prize. Why? Because they’re crooks.

Night view of a now-empty stretch of the Kennedy Center terrace, where the willow trees were felled due to their age

Turns out I was right about the Kennedy Center trees (see last Skeet). It was the last administration that decided to take them down, because they were old and the root systems were affecting the structural integrity of the building. Let's see what the current administration does to replace them.

Yes yes yes!

Good morning New York !
At 8, it is 58 F and cloudy. It really now feels like autumn 🍂.

This is the US president ??
We are in big trouble.
