College friend is crowdfunding for a micro-budget film: seedandspark.com/fund/love-tr... I love projects like these! Wish there was a better funding model for art that's in the $1–100K range and not simply trying to maximize ROI at whatever scale necessary.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency
A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.

Incredible world map at a car rental booth in Nevşehir.
Backlit world map that could very well be hand-cut, with the entirely of Europe/Asia labeled as "Russia", among various other discrepancies. Japan is completely omitted, and the Suez and Panama Canals have become veritable straits.

In 2023, the City Council passed a package of laws expanding access to housing vouchers. Eric Adams vetoed it. Then the Council overrode his veto. The Mayor refused to implement it. Now a court says he has to. What a ridiculous waste of time during a housing crisis.

He resigned because a report *he requested* found extremely credible evidence that he harassed about a dozen women. He stepped down in disgrace because he would have been impeached. He's corrupt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near City Hall. Don't rank Cuomo.

Boycotts work, y'all I liked the pizza but this place let some other people cut me in line... look at them now, they got served a slice of JUSTICE
Through the window glare we can see a very empty pizza takeout counter with an importunate mattress leaning against the bar waiting (ever so long) to be served. The mattress is old and well-used but also encased in plastic, and its presence in a food-service establishment is not explained.A very empty bar with inverted barstools resting atop the counter. Less window glare but also not a great photo, though you get the idea.
