The streetlights on 72nd and Astoria blvd/Ditmars have been out for over a week now. DOT/311 said a complaint had already been filed but nothing is done. Literally no light at night. @mayor.nyc.gov any helpful ideas?

I don’t care how strong the polls are looking for Democrats; they have to run as if they are 10 points behind

In a court filing about honoring President Trump on the facade, the administration said that without a proper renovation the building might need to be “taken down.”

The pink trucked moving co. daily parks their trucks on my residential block. “The Boss” lives on the corner. They drive the wrong way, have hit multiple cars and run, driven through yards, and daily block a hydrant overnight. We’ve talked to them. We report them. They’re ticketed. It won’t stop.

Tonight my car was rear ended on 57th and 5th by a drag queen dressed as Susan Lucci. No damage, I’m fine, car’s fine, she’s fine. It’s 2026. Why Susan Lucci?

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Gavin Newsom is a very slick salesman whose ultimate product is himself. He believes in power and maintaining the status quo. He is in no way the future of the democrats or the left.

As an elder millennial, I’m going to put this in West Wing terms. Imagine Nancy McNally claiming she ordered the siege of, say, Minneapolis at the behest of Josh Lyman. Also- “I was only following orders” feels like it’s been tried and failed before. Hmm. Where was that again?

1. Don't snitch-tag. 2. Don't explain to people what they just said. 3. Don't "correct" people's jokes. 4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts. 5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts. 6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know. The rest is commentary.

These people have the worst cases of Stockholm Syndrome! The answer to this should be, "You're a public servant. I expect you to answer my question civilly and without insults. If you can't, find me someone who can." What would happen? He'd get barred from these sham events? And lose what, exactly?

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

It’s officially the holiday season in my house. The Mister and I have had our annual rewatch of my lifelong fave All I Want for Christmas starring my OG Christmas crush @ethanembry.bsky.social I’m pretty sure Bacall’s performance is what fist inspired my dry wit at an early age.

I’m reminded of Quentin Tarantino’s Broadway debut in the revival of Wait Until Dark. As word of mouth spread about Tarantino’s acting abilities, Ben Brantley wrote “reports of his inadequacies have not been exaggerated.”

I was working on Hadestown. Leopoldstadt was teching across the street. I saw Stoppard at the coffee shop a few times and one day said hello. He said “hi, I’m Tom” and we had a nice chat about plays, mostly Arcadia, which I had worked on. We then said hello every day. I will relish that forever.

Let's get something clear: when it comes to racist, fascist, homophobic entities, what we are NOT going to do is use weight/fatness as a lazy insult when there is plenty of other material to work with. Being fat is not a moral failing. Being unscrupulous piece of shit is.

Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.
Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer:
 working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

"I'm strong and want to have like fifty kids and a farm" of course you do. You're twelve. "I don't want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal" hell yeah homie you're twelve. "Maybe if there's crime we should just send the army" bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
