There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney never looked better than they did in Out of Sight. Specifically, that hotel scene. Absolute cinema.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

At the center of the poster two men stand back to back holdingguns. Beneath them is a collage of the colorful characters that are also in the movie.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Black text on white page that reads:

NEW YORK: Tonight, Knicks fans across our city will come together at Plaza 33 outside
MSG, Radio City Music Hall, and Wollman Rink to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals. 

My administration is proud to work with the Knicks to support these watch parties.
As we celebrate, be responsible, look out for one another, stay safe, be smart, and make this a night that reflects the very best of our city.

Let's go Knicks.

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.
subway ad that says "your idea could be live by the time you reach your stop"

You don't have to love all of these movies, but you do have to understand that a studio that makes Sinners and One Battle and Mickey 17 and Wuthering Heights and The Bride and Weapons grasps its responsibility to filmmaking and its own history and tradition in a way that David Ellison does not.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.
