Judith & I are expanding the physical media section of the store: vinyl, CDs, Blu-rays, DVDs. Admittedly a VERY eclectic selection. High-end 2-record sets on brightly colored vinyl filed next to cheap used DVDs of guilty pleasures & neglected gems. mzs.press/Physical-Med... Cc @mzspress.bsky.social

The covers of Songs in the Key of Life (a stylized sun with concentric black, yellow, brown & white rings, and a line drawing of Wonder's face at the center; and the cover of the Blues Brothers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album, with Jake & Elwood Blues sitting on the hood of their car.

The covers of the original motion picture soundtracks to Taxi Driver (cover is Travis Bickle standing in front of his cab on a New York City street at night) and Sinners (a pyramid of cast illustrations, with Smoke and Stack, the gangster twins, at the top. Bold yellow sun behind them all.

Two screenshots: left to right: The covers of a Blu-ray of the Sidney Poitier film The Organization, the third screen outing of his detective Virgil Tibbs, first introduced in the 1967 best picture winner In the Heat of the Night; and a DVD of The Great Gatsby, the 2013 version starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The covers of two double feature DVD releases, National Lampoon's Vacation and National Lampoon's European vacation; and both versions of Footloose.

My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) has shared a big data update, covering all recorded US protests through Jan 2026. Some key takeaways 🧵:

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

🧵 Kate is right about how Bannon’s rhetoric is meant to intimidate and depress participation. But I’ll add a fourth level/pillar to her thread: visible, real-world community response. Minneapolis shows how observers, neighbors, and organized pushback blunt fear by refusing silence. (1/9)

This rhetoric puts Democrats (and anyone who cares about democracy) in a bind. There is legitimate outrage, but by amplifying the threat, we assist in its purpose of intimidating voters. So, how do we address this attack on democracy? Proponents of democracy will need to do several things at once:

The Trumpists will continue to escalate. But in Minneapolis, we can see the limits of MAGA’s assault. Trump’s authoritarian desires are limitless. But his ability to impose them on America is not. My new piece for @zeit.de - and some thoughts, since it is in German (gift link):

US-Regierung: Wie der Widerstand gegen Maga eine Chance hat

Der Minneapolis-Moment offenbart die Schwächen der Trumpisten. Und er zeigt, wo der Widerstand gegen den US-Präsidenten in Zukunft erfolgreich ansetzen kann.

I wrote about Minnesotans putting their lives on the line to fight for their city, protect their neighbors, and defend the Republic against tyranny. Some thoughts from my new piece - angry and alarmed, but also hopeful and inspired: 🧵

The People Struggle Against Tyranny

Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
