Ain't that the truth? #VoteMamdani

In observation of the 30th anniversary of #Desperado, released on this day in 1995, here's an appreciation for the idiosyncratic storytelling of Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi trilogy: www.seanpcarlin.com/mariachi-tri...

"Beginning this week, representatives from more than 170 countries involved in a UN plastics treaty process are gathering in Geneva to try, for the sixth time, to negotiate the first global agreement to regulate the production, consumption and disposal of plastics": www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/o...

"Mamdani has charged ahead with plans to make New York more affordable, and he's showing how to pay for it by taxing the ultra-rich and giant corporations," writes @warren.senate.gov. "Mamdani is fighting to make NY work for working people": www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... via @rollingstone.com

"To understand why NY is drifting right, observe how so many in the Dem establishment confuse triangulation with leadership and treat stability as a virtue," writes @delgadoforny.bsky.social. "We continue asking voters to show up while we refuse to show up for them": www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/o...

The "Gen Z stare" isn't an affectation older cohorts need to accept as the new mode. Politesse isn't phoniness; it's social currency. Insisting you're too good for the social compact will do nothing to "improve communication," merely widen the generation gap. www.the-independent.com/life-style/g...

#Mamdani's "victory is a 'system defining' moment," writes @davidsirota.com, "not because a charismatic underdog was victorious in one race, but because it was the first time the oligarchy was unable to buy the political results it wanted": www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... via @rollingstone.com

A native #NewYorker, proud #Bronx resident, environmental activist, and card-carrying democratic eco-socialist, I'm voting for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in the 6/24 mayoral primary. #NewYorkCity deserves leadership that fights for its blue-collar beating heart, not the billionaires. #VoteZohran

I signed a petition on Action Network urging @governor.ca.gov and lawmakers in #California to establish a #MakePollutersPay superfund requiring #BigOil to pay for the cost of damages from #FossilFuel proliferation. Can you join me and #ActOnClimate? Click here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

#ClimateChange is an overwhelming problem that tends to inspire one of 2 reactions: denial or despair. The San Fernando Valley Chapter of @climatereality.bsky.social is a coalition of everyday citizens committed to facing the challenges of—& implementing the solutions to—the #ClimateCrisis together:

L.A. was my home for 20 yrs, before moving back to the East Coast in 2021. This disaster is very personal, as both a former Angeleno & an activist with @climatereality.bsky.social. I second every word of @climatehuman.bsky.social's op-ed: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o... via @nytopinion.nytimes.com

#JimmyCarter "was the Greta Thunberg of the 1970s," writes @jeffgoodell.bsky.social, "saying bold, politically blunt things about greed and consumption and #fossilfuel addiction that nobody wanted to hear": www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... via @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy #ClimateAction

A new year… and the campaign for a sustainable future continues! Please join the San Fernando Valley Chapter of @climatereality.bsky.social on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, via Zoom for our first meeting of the year. #sustainability #climateaction #climatecrisis #zerowaste #plasticfree #climatejustice

Now available from @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social: THE DOGCATCHER, a novel of occult horror/dark comedy in the spirit of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, about a municipal animal-control officer whose Upstate New York community is being terrorized by a cryptid in the woods: a.co/d/j6xi4kO
