It’s been over five years since I regularly rode the NE corridor to the north of NYC. The coastline scenery remains unparalleled and the accents ah dropping ahs everywheyah.

On HS French exchange trip, student who was notorious for being late was in fact late meeting the bus from the Musée D’Orsay and it meant we couldn’t go up the Eiffel Tower. I was livid, I’ve never forgotten it, and every time I see the Eiffel Tower in a photo I think about it. This was in 1997.

If I were the panty-throwing type, I’d sling ‘em straight at Joshua Henry at the curtain call of Ragtime.

Me: Who is tha— Brian, interrupting: You don’t know who Role Model is

Once again, here we are watching a pivotal Friday Night baseball game on…Apple TV

Going to my first Jain prarthna sabha (memorial service) and I’m just so grateful to have a diverse group of friends. I made one phone call and feel way more prepared than an hour’s worth of googling would do.

Hot take: I don’t think baseball should be allowed to be on AppleTV

I had to google two words from this episode of The Gilded Age and I’m not ashamed by that (DEMIMONDAINES and PARVENU). Please keep in mind that I do speak medium French. It did not help.

I went to Rockaway beach yesterday with friends, and took the subway from my apartment on the UWS. Grabbed my backpack beach chair and an ice pack and just trekked out. Each way was about an hour and 40 minutes or so (two train transfers included.) It’s magical that I can get to a beach for $2.90.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life. It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Those women love each other and are truly trying to make sure everyone succeeds. You saw it with Sabrina giving half her winnings to Sonia. There are clips of Kelsey Plum in practice giving pointers to Paige Bueckers. Cathy and Adam have no real idea what they’re up against. Peace to the WNBPA.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

This is what I aspire to live every day.

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

the lesson you should draw from the most jewish city in the world putting an israel-skeptic muslim over the top in the mayoral primary is literally the opposite of "anti-semitism is a serious threat to local jews." trust me when i tell you we understand self-interest.

good, i hope they cry a lot. Cuomo has been one of the most hateful, vile figures in politics since he began putting up "VOTE FOR CUOMO, NOT THE HOMO" posters for his dad's campaign

Left's strong night, updated: —Mamdani finishes well ahead. —All 10 challenged NYC Progressive Caucus members win, or way up. Jumaane Williams, too. —Left may add councilors (AOC- or WFP-backed newcomers up) —WFP-endorsed candidates win primaries for Syracuse & Buffalo mayor.

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Why do the Tony camera angles feel so off?

Do not Rank Evil Andrew Mayor.

I had a great professor in law school who was like THE information privacy guy. At his memorial service, the former dean of my law school talked about how Prof. Reidenberg laid into him when the school transitioned from Microsoft to Google because he strenuously objected to the data privacy policy.

Time Magazine would drop its latest (gorgeous) cover featuring Audra and dubbing her "Broadway's Greatest" today.

In case you wanted to remember better times with Audra and Patti: youtu.be/RRRCl4bCx38?...

Really feels like a situation where Patti is like "Audra is dead to me and she knows why" cut to Audra "I actually do not have a clue what I did, tried to ask, was told to go fuck myself, so..."

The 2025 Libs have the vibes of the 2023 Aces. I will not be taking questions.

Today Trump's main legislative initiative died *in committee*, his main domestic policy initiative was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, & his economic shenanigans got the whole country's credit downgraded. Let's talk about what's important: Biden Old

What we will not be doing on Saturday: gatekeeping the WNBA. What we will be doing on Saturday: respecting our vets, supporting our rooks, cheering our dawgs, and raising a gotdamn championship banner in New York.

This sucks. Watching this live sucked. The impeding breakup of a strong team sucks.

No matter how many times they lie about this, it doesn’t make it any more true.

I fucking love David Tennant

I got the stupidest NYC politics poll (clearly from Jennifer Rajkumar) today. And as a busy woman, I am begging you not to give me more to do.

Dr. Hayden made the Library of Congress cool again. This sucks.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

Brian: I wanted Cardinal Pizzabolla! Me: Sorry, you get deep dish.

AN AMERICAN?!?!!!!!!

Iriafen doing what we all want to do to MAGA Barbie.

Let me just reiterate that Sophie Cunningham on the Fever is exactly correct.

Inject the second paragraph of this footnote directly into my veins. (And then send it to the nine firms that have bent the knee.)

Beryl Howell has thrown out the entirety of the Trump EO targeting Perkins Coie, including any security clearance restrictions tied to the EO. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I will obviously be listening to the JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN pre-show playlist again.

I understand why there are kids run the bases baseball events but I am an adult and I would also like to run the bases?

Al Horford is back on demon time I see

I love Al Horford. 🏀💚
