I worked with Tim Curry when I was seven, we were in the Opening Number of the Oscars together. I had no business being there, to be honest. I couldn’t sing OR dance. But he was patient with me, and was as funny, fun, and kind as you’d hope him to be. I always hoped I’d be able to see him again.

Friend shared a screenshot with an incredible update: Yesterday, Bichotte Hermelyn said she was working "hand in hand" with Jeffries. Today, Jeffries says he was "surprised" and DOESN'T support her plan to pack the Brooklyn Democratic Party's executive committee! (This is good - the plan is bad!)
Screenshot from X reading:

@AdamDalyNews
NEW: House Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries does not support Bichotte Hermelyn’s plan to expand the Brooklyn Dem Party’s executive committee.

His spox says Jeffries was “surprised” by the proposal and has not spoken with her about the organizational meeting (she told NY1 otherwise)

which is a quote post of:

Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn (@AMBichotte) just announced on NY1 she's going to try to expand the BK Dems' executive committee from 42 members to 68 - a clear effort to pack the board to block reform pick @JulioPenaNY, who claims to have secured a 22-vote majority.

Wow, the Mets are being a crushing disappointment and the season has barely started who could have possibly predicted this when we let the best player on the team go to another one because apparently rich people won’t want to pay for anything ever

Governor Hochul has made very clear she will keep allowing government agencies to collaborate with ICE. The only way to make her change course is through a strong primary challenge from the Left. The power to force Hochul to end collaboration with ICE—and to tax the rich—lies with us, via Delgado.

I'm glad more people are posting about the New York for All Act, which would stop state + local agencies in NY from collaborating with ICE. But Hochul won't sign it unless Delgado's numbers rise in the polls. To pass it, boosting #NY4All isn't enough; we need to boost @delgadoforny.bsky.social too.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The way to succeed as mayor is to do this kind of stuff, make the city more livable and work better for more people everywhere you can. What the Democratic Party, NY Times and Post don't get this about Mamdani because they all imagine themselves as top down "big idea" people, when Mayor is bottom-up

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”
Email text: National Nurses United and UE call for end to military operations, blockade in Palestine
Unions demand U.S. recognize Palestine’s sovereignty and demand that Israeli government end violence, starvation, and injustices on Palestinian people
 
National Nurses United (NNU), the country’s largest union and professional association of registered nurses, and the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE) — together representing over a quarter million union members — sent a letter today to President Trump to demand that “the Israeli government permanently end its military operations and blockade in Palestine, and that the United States immediately recognize the sovereignty of Palestine.”
 
“Our unions concur with the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, which found that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” stated the letter. “The United States must intervene immediately to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.Email text continued: The attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 was an atrocity. But Israel’s collective punishment of millions of Palestinians and destruction of Gaza over two years constitute a crime against humanity,” the letter continued. “More than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, including nearly 20,000 children, while 1.9 million have been displaced and countless others have been severely injured and have lost their family members since October 2023. The death toll includes many of our union siblings, including hundreds of health care workers, media workers, engineers, and civil servants killed on the job.”
 
The letter concluded with a demand for “urgent action to immediately halt military aid to Israel; secure a permanent and immediate ceasefire that ensures an end to the mass killing and starvation of innocent Palestinian civilians; ensure that the remaining hostages in Gaza and political prisoners in Israel are safely returned home; and recognize Palestinian sovereignty and restore the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.”

Sep 24th 1975 - After being allowed back on the air for a final farewell, Howard Beale launches into a rant about life being "bullshit", causing the ratings to spike. 📽️📅 Network (1976)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Network" (1976): First, a newsroom control room filled with men at monitors and staff watching intently as a broadcast goes live, with the subtitle reading “Good evening. Today is Wednesday, September the 24th…”. Second, an older news anchor in a suit sits at a desk under studio lights, leaning forward with a grave expression as the subtitle reads “…and this is my last broadcast.” Third, a man in a suit speaks urgently into a phone in the control room as people move in the background, with the subtitle reading “He’s saying that life is bullshit and it is. What are you screaming about?”.
