There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

"Kalshi adds new Dem firepower
By DANIEL BARNES  07/17/2026 06:00 PM EDT
With help from Daniel Lippman

Kalshi has hired a formidable team of Democratic lobbyists with FTP, adding to the prediction market’s Washington roster as it works to keep a sports contract ban out of a digital asset market structure bill and prepares for potential Democratic control of the House in 2027.

— FTP partners Libby Greer, Cindy Brown, Michael Williams, Kelley Williams and Trevor Hanger started representing Kalshi on July 1, according to a disclosure report filed yesterday. The team, which includes two former House chiefs of staff, will lobby on “issues related to legislation governing regulation of prediction markets.”

— Kalshi has been steadily building a bipartisan presence in Washington. In the first half of 2026, the company hired Biden administration alum John Bivona as head of federal government relations, Obama alum Stephanie Cutter of Precision Strategies as a policy adviser and Senate Republican Cloakroom veteran Tony Hanagan as head of congressional affairs. Kalshi has been a frequent customer on K Street as well, hiring six new lobbyists from Squire Patton Boggs and Resolution Public Affairs just this year."

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

Nestled on the Upper West Side, and Still Surviving

By D.W. GIBSON
Ira Goetz has lost much of his sight. *I can see people, he said. But only shapes any colors. I can't recognize the faces." Keeping his remaining vision requires getting regu-

His hearing is almost gone too. For Mr.
Goetz, a conversation is possible only with those who speak in a loud, deliberate voice, directly into his left ear, where he can still pick up sounds through a hearing aid.
Even with these challenges,
Mr. Goetz,
who turns 98 in December, still lives in his own apartment
"My friends all died out," he said. "I'm the
one left."
In many ways, Mr. Goetz has been a sur-

Mr. Goetz, the oldest boy in the family, recalled his mother telling, him to run. town was being liquidated," he said. *We knew the Germans were killing off every-oody. I was the only one wno managed Lo get away."
He ran into the countryside and slept in caves. "I didn't eat for three or four days," he said.
Mr. Goetz managed to connect with an uncle and a lew cousins, our eventually all of them, including Ira, were put into concen-
Mr. Goetz said his ability to quickly mas. ter German was an important part of why he survived. He was able to communicate with soldiers and they assigned him a job, giving him a key so he could open and close a secured bathroom for them.
After liberation, Mr. Goetz moved to New York. "I had an aunt and an uncle here," he said. "They took me to James Monroe High School to register. Thad no idea what high school was. I had no idea about English." He found good teachers, put his proclivity for languages to work and earned his high school diploma in less than two years. He went on to attend college and graduate school, eventually earning a master's degree in foreign languages from Columbia University.
