Out of fifteen solid years of residence and probably about four months’ worth of subsequent visits, I do wonder what percentage of the total time I’ve spent in New York City was spent crawling north along the Van Wyck coming out of JFK

This is THE most prominent ad he runs. It often comes before or after a Talarico ad that discusses how he gave a child predator a single day in jail.

Is it too much to wear my HEAT t-shirt to the MIAMI VICE: FINAL CUT screening tonight, or is it just right

For circa-2000 NY folks, it was the one on the north side of St Mark’s, across the street from St Mark’s Sounds, which might have also been a St Mark’s Sounds itself but it was weirdly unclear?

This means it’s twenty-six years and four days since that time I went into a CD shop in the East Village and they’d broken street date and already put it out for sale, but I was too broke to buy it and it broke my heart

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

What I REALLY wanna do is re-read the novel and THEN watch it but that would require reserves of time that I might never possess until I am retired (lol "retirement")

Deeply rude for this new EAST OF EDEN to come out when my brain is absolutely melting with pre-NYCC stress. I wanna watch it so bad but I will not be permitted to unclench at any point in the next like two-plus weeks

Just "locked picture" on ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #25 and I can't believe we're already two years deep on these incredible books. I also can't believe how hard we're about to step on the gas, even though we're two years deep. These anniversary issues are freakin' major, y'all.

You basically have to have a doctorate in online sleuthing order to know if any given release sucks or rules compared to others, and you will ROUTINELY be driven mad by the things that ought to be available / in print and just aren’t

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Well, I guess someday our society had to realize that it is impossible to capture the multivalence and beauty of art in the eyes of its many beholders through the form of a ranked list. I'm a little surprised it took until today for us to figure that out, but it's healthy that it happened.

I should be VERY pumped to go see Robyn tonight but I am so, so, so sleepy and I have like 90 minutes of LA rush hour traffic between me and the Forum. I fear that it is time for the most dangerous coffee of all: the 6pm cold brew

In every high-stakes campaign you see the same pattern: talented candidates know exactly how to talk to people until the Democratic campaign management class comes in to screw it up with their weird pet bullshit.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Though this being Oregon the newt would be subject to robust environmental protections and a strong regulatory environment, so on balance maybe you’re safer as a newt
