Obama should invite the Knicks for a visit to the Oval House replica at the Obama Presidential Center.

It's not easy being meme-d. #Oh-Gee-I-See-Algae 👀

Brooklyn Visibility Brigade

At the USMNT game vs. Türkiye in LA, the crowd went WILD for the USWNT legends Mia Hamm & Julie Foudy. Los Angeles Stadium knows ball 😏

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

Washington State Senator Patty Murray Said This On June 24th, Specifically Naming Susan Collins !

No, that's pretty fucked up, not sad.

No, seriously. Read or listen to "It Can't Happen Here". Get thee to a library.

Remembering June Lockhart BOTD (1925-2025), best known as America's TV mom in both "Lost in Space" and "Lassie" in the late '50s and '60s. Equally important, she was standing up for LGBTQ+ rights and against homophobia long before others in Hollywood would dare to. #filmsky #moviesky #tvsky #pride

Anthony Bourdain Day - Made his lemon and butter roast chicken with Pommes Anna. Sharp lemon, crisp potatoes, proper butter. A decent way to remember a man who knew food was never improved by bullshit. #BourdainDay

How do we want to be remembered? When people ask what we did during these times, will we hang our heads in shame? Pretend we were against it all from the start? The legacy of this era will not just be the story of the politicians and institutions that failed us. We are writing our own history too.

Dear Santa, This year for Prime Day I want the breakup of Amazon as a corporate conglomerate monopoly, with Kindle and Audible being nationalized into a sort of publicly owned internet library funded by a progressive tax on the hyper-rich and an annual stipend for authors.

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

I think Brad Lander made a smart distinction between unity and solidarity, and offered a good marching order for Democrats all across the spectrum, in his victory speech last night: "Unity means we already agree. Solidarity means we do the work to build bridges even across significant differences."

Back in 1980, Trump was demolishing the Bonwit Teller building. He promised he would donate two Art Deco friezes on the facade to the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. Instead, he jackhammered them into dust. I just noticed that Donald Trump called the press as John Barron to defend Donald Trump.

The great Nancy Krieger in @thelancet.com on the proposed OMB rule. Act now: oppose a new threat to US federally funded work. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

It’s unreal that a precious, innocent, one-year-old black baby boy was murdered by cops in Mississippi over DIAPERS that they thought weren’t paid for. What the actual fuck is wrong with so many people? Racism and bigotry must be eliminated from this nation.

On June 22, 2002, @cardinals.com pitcher Darryl Kile died suddenly. The game was canceled, but what to do the next day? Manager Tony LaRussa wanted to play. Catcher Mike Matheny said, "if Darryl's not pitching I'm not catching." They played, but Matheny didn't. victorianoe.com/product/frie...

Odd, how the UK can't seem to keep a Prime Minister—and we can't seem to get rid of a President.

Yes, apparently I'm promoting my nephew because he's performing in #SanFrancisco this weekend for Pride! punchup.live/zachnoetower...

My favorite gay nephew! Yes, my only gay nephew, but still... #Pride www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Happy Father's Day 🖤

Now that’s a good friend. An equal opportunity, non-bigoted BURN.😆

Christina Aguilera sings “What a Wonderful World” at the Barack Obama Presidential Center opening. Edited for format.

I'm so old I remember when he was Little Stevie Wonder.

The third book in my Friend Grief series came out in September, 2013. It was a hard one to write; I had to pull back several times. Now I'm updating it for the 25th anniversary and deleting one story in particular. And no, I can't believe it's been 25 years. victorianoe.com/product/frie...

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

If we took control of the Epstein files away from the people listed in the Epstein files maybe we would actually see the Epstein files.

The performances have been spectacular so far. What a Wonderful World was the only song played at my Mom's funeral service in 2018. It always makes me cry. For those of you who have only heard the Louis Armstrong version, this will blow you away. youtu.be/DXeoMkZZXJQ?...

Most of my day today will be split between watching the #Knicks parade and the @barackobama.bsky.social Center grand opening. Yes, of course the DVR is set. But realistically, if anyone needs me, please wait until both have concluded. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No lies detected.

The Obama Center is the new Kennedy Center until the Kennedy Center has been wrestled from the grubby hands of assholes. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

People ask me about the inspiration for my writing and activism. For 9 years, this question has haunted me and inspired me. victorianoe.com/blog/whateve...

No, JD. He's the head of the Catholic Church on earth, the vicar of Christ. He speaks ex cathedra. He's YOUR Pope. I can't imagine what kind of discernment he went through to convert to Catholicism, but whatever it was, it was an epic fail.

Dear @sfgiants.com pitchers: How come your 'sincerely held religious beliefs' don't compel you to write on your caps for the other 161 games of the regular season?

Remember "Haitians are eating the pets?" After the election, JD admitted he lied because 'sometimes you have to make things up for the media to pay attention'. Is there a reporter out there who could remind him of that and ask why anyone should believe anything he says?

Epic!

Got good news today about something I submitted (not a book or essay). Was very prepared for a 'no', so I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, kind of shocked. Can't announce it yet, in part because I need to make changes before final approval. I hate keeping secrets.

My daughter called from Seoul this morning. Things we talked about: Doctor visits (hers and mine) Physical therapy (mine and potentially hers) BTS Oreos David Hockney (easily half the conversation) The Knicks parade on Thursday @mayor.nyc.gov promise that the Knicks would win

This creeps me out in so many ways...

On the 14th anniversary of DACA, we demand that Democrats and Republicans alike prove to every Dreamer and immigrant who calls our nation home that we know they are part of the fabric of our nation.

Ten years ago the final book in my Friend Grief series came out. Tomorrow is 21 years since my Dad died. So I'm sharing the blog post that includes the book's dedication to his friends. #friendship #grief victorianoe.com/blog/friend-...

“HIV prevention is failing women” Dr Nneka Nwokolo explains why and how Risks to Reasons campaign is helping to fix that on Rooted & Rising broadcast. Watch full episode hosted by Dr Vanessa Apea and me on @phoenixhealthm.bsky.social YouTube channel www.youtube.com/live/a-awLor...

THIS IS THE TRUTH

This ⬇️ is a real American hero! Congresswoman Joyce Beatty is a Kennedy Center trustee who sued after the unlawful renaming of the center. Late Friday her suit prevailed and the center’s rightful name was restored. Thank you @repbeatty.bsky.social, we love you! ❤️

After being criticized for having Bud Light sponsor Trump’s UFC event, the Administration scrambled to find a sponsor who could bring all those manly men together.

Religion aside: Gill calls Talarico's reference to God as nonbinary "blasphemous," but while that term has a modern context, belief that God is beyond gender is super common in Christianity. E.g., the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "In no way is God in man's image. He is neither man nor woman."

HEY KNICKS- YOU GOT THIS. WRAP IT UP AND COME BACK HOME. WE’RE READY TO PARTY! LOVE, NYC
