MAYOR ADAMS: “#AndrewCuomo is a snake and a liar, I am in this race, and I am the only one that can beat #Mamdani.” The gloves are off. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

In journalism, comparison is a constant. Colleagues measure each other by titles, beats, and bylines. It’s not just ego… it’s survival. The field is shrinking, layoffs are routine, and prestige often substitutes for stability. But does that really define what makes someone a journalist? (🧵)

Today We Almost Died has hit *12% of our goal! 🙌🏾 Indiegogo is done but the journey continues on Buy Me A Coffee ☕️. Every listen, share, and support helps this indie #audiodrama reach new ears. 🖤 🎧 Listen: linktr.ee/todaywealmos... 💸 Support: buymeacoffee.com/todaywealmos...

Trump went on @cnbc.com this morning and said this about undocumented farm workers: “They do it naturally… they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die.” Not a compliment. Just a blunt admission: they exploit the same people they criminalize. #Trump #Immigration #Labor

TRUMP on Newsmax, on Karoline Leavitt: “It’s that face, it’s that brain, it’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.” Real quote. Real broadcast. 2025 journalism is just keeping receipts. #Trump #Newsmax #KarolineLeavitt #Politics

In a 2024 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Donald Glover said, “No one on their deathbed is going to look back and say, ‘Thank God I avoided being cringe.’”

Gov. #DeSantis was mid-sentence about #HulkHogan when a protester started shouting accusations, including “You bow down to a f–king pedophile.” The outburst stunned the room before security stepped in. These disruptions are becoming more common—and more pointed.

You know what? They sure didn’t. Bad #journalism. 🤣 #superman #TheDailyPlanet

#Trump says the #EpsteinFiles are a hoax. Yet in Feb 2020, conservative influencers literally walked out of the West Wing carrying DOJ-labeled binders titled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1.” Pam Bondi claimed she had the client list “sitting on my desk.” But now? Hoax. Blame the Democrats. 🧐

From the “he said what?” files: Trump to Liberian President Joseph Boakai: “Such good English… where did you learn to speak so beautifully?” For context: English is Liberia’s official language. 🇱🇷 #ForeignAffairs #USAfricaRelations #TrumpDiplomacy #Liberia #PostColonialism #InternationalNews

Feliz Día de la Independencia. Sin embargo, América, tienes que hacerlo mejor. #july4th

Laura Coates on CNN: “I kid you not, people are pouring baby oil on one another outside this courthouse.” #Diddy #DiddyTrial

Happy #Juneteenth everybody.

Wrote Sly Stone’s obituary for @npr.org. Hard to sum up a man who shaped the sound of America—and then disappeared from it. RIP to a true original. 🎧 www.npr.org/2025/06/09/1... #SlyStone #NPR #obituary #music #freelancejournalist

#TRUMP suggests #MUSK suffers from “Trump derangement syndrome.”

That shared gum scene nearly made me turn it off; absolutely one of the most revolting things I’ve ever seen. And yet… I’m intrigued enough to keep going. #Sirens #sirensonnetflix

REPORTER: "Mr. Musk, is your eye okay?" MUSK: "Well, I wasn't anywhere near France... I was just walking around with Lil X, and I said, 'Go ahead,' punch me in the face, and he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually does-- That was X."

Discovered the latest addition to the #HighLine last night: a bridge now links the park to the Whole Foods terrace in #HudsonYards. The oversized pigeon sculpture was a bit unsettling but great to see more green & communal spaces popping up in the city. #NYCArchitecture #UrbanExploration #NightWalk

I’ve never seen Rockefeller Plaza empty.

A bit of magic and wonder faded when the world moved past animatronics. Glad to see Universal bringing that enchantment back.

#ElonMusk, President #Trump’s biggest presidential campaign donor in 2024, said he plans to scale back his political spending. "I'm going to do a lot less in the future," he said in a video interview with @bloomberg.com at the Qatar Economic Forum. "I think I've done enough."

“In a notable change from the HBO deal, new episodes of Sesame Street will also run day and date on PBS and the PBS Kids app, ensuring that they are easily accessible.”

Today We Almost Died, my fiction podcast about Brooklyn roommates surviving the pandemic (& each other) drops June 26 (my birthday!) On launch day, I’m also launching a $20K fundraiser to finish Season 1 + support the cast & crew. #TodayWeAlmostDied #Podcast #IndieArt #fictionpodcast #screenwriter

Me trying to figure out why no one in Fairmont Crest locks their door and allow just anyone to come barging in. #BTG #BeyondTheGates

#TRUMP on #BUTTIGIEG: “ ‘Buttidieg,’ who has no clue. He drives to work on his #bicycle — in all fairness — with his husband on the back, which is a nice loving relationship. But he didn’t have a clue… and he’s actually a contender for President. Him and #Crockett — you can have that party.”

. @repjasmine.bsky.social: “Instead of the President cosplaying as the next Pope, he may wanna try to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.” #uspolitics #JasmineCrockett #DonaldTrump

Ryan Coogler, you’ve outdone yourself. #Sinners is an absolutely beautiful film. It blends horror, humor, and historical fiction, weaving in themes of racism, oppression, and assimilation, all set against the backdrop of vampire lore in the Jim Crow-era South.

In his final public appearance, #PopeFrancis called for an immediate #ceasefire in #Gaza. The 88-year-old died Monday morning, according to Vatican officials.

REPORTER: ‘You mentioned that you’re open to deporting individuals that aren’t foreign aliens... does that include U.S. citizens?’ TRUMP: ‘If they’re criminals... yeah, that includes them... I'm all for it.’

Me: ‘BLACK MIRROR’ needs to be handed back to the British. It’s not dark enough since the Americans took over. Also me, after watching a #BLACKMIRROR episode that has a dark ending:

I caved. lol

What stood out about the #WhiteLotus finale is all the pure-hearted characters were poisoned in some way. Lochlan and Chelsea: literally poisoned (fruit seeds; snake venom). Gaitok’s non-violent spirit: poisoned by Mook’s influence. Belinda’s good nature: compromised by money.

#SnowWhite was okay. It wasn’t as bad as y’all made it out to be. But Gal? Awful on all fronts.

POV: Introverts canceling plans they made when they were in a much better mood. #TheWhiteLotus

PIRRO: “Donald Trump is not panicked and neither should we be because he’s bringing us to the golden age.” #tarrifs

WATTERS: “Now you’re seeing what Trump is trying to do. He’s trying to destroy China because if you break the Chinese economy, you put America back on top…” #tarrifs

“One thing I learned about the #coal miners -- that's what they want to do. You could give them a penthouse on 5th Avenue and a different kind of a job & they'd be unhappy. They want to mine coal. She was gonna put them in a high tech industry where you make little cell phones & things." - #Trump

If I send you this, know my circumstances have changed and I can’t commit to anything right now. #TheWhiteLotus

I’m so tired of Angstrom Levy. Why won’t he just die already? #Invincible #INVINCIBLESeason3

POV: Me, as a nearly 40-year-old. #WhiteLotus

POV: Me to the #WhiteLotus writers, when they finally gave us a tense scene between Laurie, Jaclyn and Kate.

“You are responsible 4 your life & if you’re sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time. B/c only you have the pwr to take responsibility to move your life forward & the sooner you get that, the sooner your life gets into gear.” - #Oprah

No one: NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ opening line to the concerned citizens of Far Rockaway: “There’s a real history for me, I had a shorty that lived out here.” (Also, admits to train fare evasion)

Hmmmm…

Kanye ceased to exist beyond ‘16 with Life of Pablo. His music helped me through some dark times during undergrad & grad school but I’ve already mourned the loss of the artist who was once my favorite. I don’t even come across his tweets unless someone sends them to me & even then, I don’t engage.

Happy 5 years of “Sure did!” This feels like a fever dream. #covid #covid19 #coronavirus youtu.be/zOPvuGZO_Fs

INGRAHAM: “You're tougher with Canada than you are with our biggest adversaries. Why?” #TRUMP: “Only because it's meant to be our 51st state… One of the nastiest countries to deal with is #Canada.” #foreignpolicy

POV: Me, every 5 minutes, watching #WhiteLotus Season 3, Episode 5. After 4 episodes of exposition, WHITE LOTUS IS SO BACK, BABY!
