Maybe Zohran Mamdani should have come out for ending the shutdown so Democratic Senators could have opposed it.

Been working all day, what did they do now?

Agenda: Ivalas Quartet playing compositions by Derrick Skye, Alban Berg, and Claude Debussy, presented by Peoples’ Symphony Concerts at High School of Fashion Industries.

New favorite addition to the local bird mural

Can't overstate how much this great moment is thanks to AOC showing everyone that it could be done.

Nice job, Cali!

Begging, just plain begging Americans to learn that "mano a mano" means "hand to hand."

Nice job, Virginia!

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Hmm. Cuomo voted this morning at the same location where we (early) voted. Flashback to 2016 when we were delayed in voting for a few hours because our neighbor DJT was voting at that same location...

Quick question for y’all musicology PhDs from a humble composition MusDoc: what‘s the consensus on the Jan Swafford bios?

Condé Nast 👎 Met gala 👎 The New Yorker 👎 Sorry, you don’t get the “cool” pass when you’re supporting the fascists.

Also at Sands Point this morning, an Eastern Towhee, northern mockingbird, dark eyed junco, and yellow rumped warbler. #birds #birdwatching #longisland #birding

Hats off to all the people still crossing the finish line at the NYC marathon! If you look at the time on the clock right now, keep in mind that the last wave started a couple of hours after the first. Everyone who finishes deserves a full-hearted congratulations! ❤️

Good luck to everyone running the NYC marathon tomorrow, and, omg, go to sleep!

This game is insane. (Counting on Tuesday night to be much more decisive, much earlier in the evening)

Ok guys I need you to know the actor who played Patrick on Schitt’s Creek, Noah Reid, is Canadian and also a singer and is performing the national anthem tonight for Game 7 in the World Series and WE NEED THIS W.

Goodnight friends. Just remember, there’s an Ontario in California too. So, either way… we win.

Coach to Jays: “If we win this tonight, it’s Swiss Chalet for everyone!”
