Breaking some news for @coyotemedia.org here. Incredibly sad about this — some of the best nights of my life have involved this club — but I’m also so honored and grateful to Ramona, Kathleen and Lynn for trusting me with this story. www.coyotemedia.org/san-francisc...

Eric Adams is no longer the mayor of New York City. But like the action-movie hero who blows up the headquarters as he walks away without turning around, Adams spent his final days in office doing his very best to fuck over his successor, Zohran Mamdani.

Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my Oxford college is dying (It's spelled "dril" but pronounced "dridgalen")

Parents are really fun because you’ll be having a nice, happy family meal, and your mom will just look at your kids and ask if they know how they will handle it when their dog dies

In this time of reflection as 2025 comes to an end, I want to again express my gratitude to the people of Seattle for allowing me to serve our city as your mayor. It has been the honor of my lifetime. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and happy New Year.

This is crazy man. Bluesky is the only place I “promote” my newsletter or post my stories. I’ve also never done a public sale before because I hate promo. As a woman in sports I also have to fight the understandable survival instinct to make myself small every day. this is v v humbling!

WATCH LIVE at 10 AM! Tune in to watch @mayorofseattle.bsky.social-elect Katie Wilson’s inauguration ceremony as she becomes Seattle’s 58th mayor. View on SeattleChannel.org 📺: seattlechannel.org/watch-live Or on YouTube🤳🏽: www.youtube.com/live/NC98EIN...

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

It's winter. Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working!

Cover reveal. It's about how & why colonies/states controlled international & domestic migration until 1888, why in the late 19th c the feds took over, & what it was like for politically disfavored groups to live under that arrangement of power. You can't understand voluntary migration history 1/

Eric Adams said he wanted to travel after he left office. Well, the former mayor is wasting no time. Just hours after attending Mamdani’s inauguration, a source has spotted Adams boarding an Emirates flight from JFK to Dubai. No indication if the trip is business or pleasure.

lol I just came across this post by Zoharn’s wife Rama Duwaji’s stylist and the boots were…. on loan open.substack.com/pub/brainmat...

(my grandparents lived in one town on long island and my great grandmother lived in another town, so on their way home on the L.I.E., my grandfather would pull over at certain mile markers and my grandmother would release the pigeon she was holding in a dish towel on her lap to see if it went back)

sometimes I’ll make a joke to my wife and she’ll roll her eyes and ask if I’m “gonna post that one on bluesky.” I mean, yes, but her tone is very hurtful

partied too hard with the yassified lamb chop our neighbors got him last night ☠️

spent the first day the way I shall spend the year, making tiny biscuits and our traditional Jewish bourbon ham, for loved ones, neighbors, and real life bsky buddies. build up, socialize to organize, ham n jam, hugs and hugs some more

Happy New Year everyone! Find yourself someone who looks at you like this male Northern Flicker looks at the female in the foreground. 🪶

Took down our Christmas tree which had been up for over a year 💀 and boxed up the ornaments. Two of my favorites:

Mad at me about the weather. Gorton’s angriest little fisherman.

Ten or so years into my “Dickens is how I start the year” plan, I find that I actively look forward to being back with him. The energy, joy, and love of urban everything—something our public life could do with much, much more of—is invigorating.

Happy New Year, friends! I have some ~personal news~, which is that the Bluesky team is generously giving me some contract work (which could possibly turn into a job) welcoming more indie media and local govt to Bsky and supporting those already here. Excited to take my amateur Bsky boosterism pro!

Starting out 2026 strong by writing a letter to the to the London Review of Books editor re: pubic hair in Archaic Greece.

My mechanic describes my car as a "town car." Not a Lincoln Town Car — in fact, it's an elderly Subaru — but a car he says I should not drive out of town or anywhere I don't want to walk back from. Today I defied him and drove out to Tybee Island.

Appreciate this article noting that the instrument here (played by Sarah Goldstone) is something called an Omnichord and it's the most baller 1980s thing I've ever seen

standard ebooks does beautiful work with public domain titles and there are a lot of great new ones available today, including maltese falcon, stuff from christie, faulkner, kafka, hughes, lardner, sayers and more standardebooks.org/blog/public-...

I was only permitted two episodes of The Twilight Zone so I picked a couple of favorites that aren’t too scary for the kids

One of my favorite works this year was this illustration of a pigeon on a hero's journey, commissioned by my MFA program as this year's student/staff shirt. I later made a risograph print of the image!

Happy New Year! We love sharing these pro-book posters from the Works Projects Administration Poster Collection in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Of the 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

Happy New Year, Bluesky!

Interesting thread on the origin of the MetroCard!

It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started. Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.
