Found this photo from Greenpoint History Night #1 (May 15, 2024). I borrowed a screen, brought my projector and sound equipment from home, and the first talk (by @max-pearl.bsky.social) was about The Astral, the historic building across the street.

The Invite is a truly good movie????

Awful.

Greenpoint History Night tomorrow once again this will be a fun one. 👍

WAKE THE FUCK UP WORLD THATS RIGHT WE GOT ANOTHER EPISODE OF FIFA WORLD CUP ON FOX AFTER HOURS WITH JAMES CORDEN ON TONIGHT LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!

The thing that’s gonna really stick with me whenever Elon Musk dies is for some reason the “epic vulgar roast.” Spending a fortune to make a program that does this, and this specific corny phrase and idea in itself, is all I’m gonna remember. It feels like it sums everything up.

356 copies of MALINKO, a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon whose stumble onto a mysterious radio show, have now been sold. That’s 112 more copies than Meghan McCain sold of her memoir Bad Republican, to give some perspective.

It’s honestly really fucked up that there are only another 4 episodes of FIFA World Cup on Fox After Hours with James Corden left!!!! 😭😭😭

Listen, I think Mamdani is doing an okay job and everything but his predecessor aced what some might call the greatest test for the city…

Alrighty! A working draft for Part 3 of Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park, is done. Lot of experimentation in this one. Hoping to release it in the spring. Catch up on Parts 1 & 2 before then!

Sorry this doesn’t prove anything other than he has great taste in literature

A good bit is taking on famous cases with obviously guilty people and losing all the cases.

Just got sent this photo of Mitch McConnell doing Part 1 of Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park????

Heres a photo from Blissville.

Wow.

Say what you will about Lindsey Graham,

It’s walking season 👍

Lindsey Graham never got the chance to do Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park 😔

Here’s a photo from Rockaway.

Here’s a photo from Rockaway.

Cape Fear is one of the dumbest shows I’ve seen. There’s an extended scene in a recent episode where the entire family gets dosed on acid and has a freak-out together. Javier Bardem is doing a Tommy Wiseau impression. I’ll watch every second of it. Great show.

Choose your fighter.

Do we think there’s ANY WAY that they’d keep FIFA World Cup After Hours with James Corden on the air after the games are over? Like, if enough of us got together and made a stink about it?

Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park. Parts 1 & 2 out now.

When you’re eating at the FOIA deli

This came to me in a dream

My newborn daughter is such a New Yorker she just said she wanted her diaper done “the ocky way”????

Actually do feel very passionately about the melting pot quality of a great neighborhood bar.

There was this magic time between 2012-2015 when publications paid $$$ for lots of words. They were gaming some system & barely cared what you wrote! Got paid $3k to write about “juiced” softball bats! More for an oral history of BattleBots! We’ll never see The Longread Era again

If you are a BAR using these, you are EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!!!

No soccer games tomorrow. That’s okay, we probably need a break, and the players definitely do. That said, I don’t see why they ALSO need to skip a night of FIFA’s World Cup After Hours with James Corden!!!!!

I spoke to Mitch McConnell today for 45 minutes and he said everyone should buy a copy of MALINKO

Actually am very proud of my last 7 years of “creative output”: Eastern Span (which took 3 yrs), Palmer Hotel (10 yrs), MALINKO (20), The Lady in Greenpoint (3), Loops, Part 1 & 2 (overall all 5 parts will take 10). Here’s to the next bunch!

There is really no medium I think about more than radio. What’s a good book about this?

I’m sure it’s on everyone’s mind… does going into extra time and now penalty shootouts at all push what time FIFA’s World Cup After Hours with James Corden’s is broadcast? If I hear it trims one second…

Do something @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

sometimes i will simply sit and think about the video of the guy in a suit who crosses his legs and smashes his testicles. can't tell you who it was, don't even need to watch it anymore. i just laugh and laugh. the guy's face... he really rocked his nuts.

when you're watching an incredibly exciting soccer game and then you hear who's going to be on FIFA's After Hours with James Corden later tonight

If you are curious about Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park, perhaps it's worth sitting at home and picturing yourself on the S shuttle from Franklin Ave. to Prospect Park, looking out the window, while listening to this track. loopsprospectpark.com/story/overtu...

Look out your window if you are in NYC and let me just state for the record that this is *ideal weather* for doing all or part of either of my two walking audio stories within Brooklyn neighborhoods and parks, The Lady in Greenpoint or Loops

Please @nitehawkcinema.bsky.social make the new Jackass an infant screening so it can be my 10-week-old daughter’s first cinema experience. Vision 👇

More of y’all gotta be doing this tbh

So true.

I’ll have what he’s having

I actually think it would be fun(?) and profitable(????) for some local indie label to put together like a CD (cassette?) and booklet compilation with the map and artwork for The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge.

A lot of people watching this who are feeling down, please keep in mind that FIFA’s After Hours with James Corden is coming up later. It does get better.

Everybody shut up!!!! They’re previewing tonight’s FIFA’s World Cup After Hours with James Corden!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!_

A lot of people are saying this and yet there are still 647 copies of MALINKO, a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon who stumble onto a mysterious radio show, available for purchase… ($25, Venmo: Rick-Paulas, include address)

I’m an American who doesn’t even like the American soccer team. I’m rooting against them. I don’t even like the Fourth of July. It’s true. We exist. My favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard.

I’m sorry you just can’t advertise a comedic(?) aftershow with James Corden at a time like this
