We went to a police union convention and all we got was this disquieting sense that solidarity can only be stretched so far before it breaks. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/we-infiltr...

Repeating my sotto voce refrain that I think we are very soon going to have to deal with the plain (but seldom spoken) fact that police are simply not under the control of the political leadership who command them on paper.

I hope Mamdani clarifies whether NYPD support for this action was at his direction or if the NYPD acted on its own; if the latter, why do they have that latitude and what is being done to reign in a rogue agency?

Seeing lots of people go well Mamdani can't do anything about the NYPD because they won't obey him and you do see how this makes your entire political project a joke right? Like if that's true then you just spent all of your time electing a hostage Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this country will not be transformed without addressing policing, prisons, surveillance and militarism. Sorry. Cannot get around it. The carceral socialists may make incremental progress but they will ALWAYS come up against state violence.

I've lived here long enough to read between the lines and conclude that the cops were either not called or if called didn't come. Don't blame this guy if he didn't call the cops because they won't do anything about it anyway

Reading about Japan's first astronaut, who was a chainsmoker and spent most of his mission being violently sick. He died earlier this year, RIP to a real one.
Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer. During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes. During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
