if you gave every person on earth a chance to guess the reveal here there would not be a single correct answer

Couldn't get critically important dental surgery today because my blood pressure is 174/95. I've been under a constant state of extreme stress for years, and it's finally coming to collect. My life has to fundamentally change literally now

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

FYI, if you are a lefty/progressive group looking for a low cost space for holding events, I'm starting to let people use the @crisesnotes.bsky.social office for events. get in touch at crisesnotes[at]gmail[dot]com to inquire. My space is very conveniently located in Chelsea Manhattan.

In some ways its extremely obvious that Jeffrey Epstein was always gonna be the thing that eroded Trump's support but its still viscerally astonishing to watch it in real time.

NYC! Today, there’s Hands Off community events all across the city where you can meet neighbors and get free whistles, Know Your Rights cards, and signs of solidarity—all to help protect your neighborhood from ICE! Find an event near you: HandsOffNYC.com/nov15

For the first time since it's founding there's an actual conspiracy that indicts powerful elites and there are actual documents that actually prove it and Infowars is like "nah"

New work for @solidaritydept.bsky.social. Marc Rowan is a piece of work.

fine, whatever

“I, state your name” if this doesn’t make his cognitive decline publicly evident, it’ll be because mainstream has normalized his senile behavior!

Looking good, NYC! Thank you for standing up for academic freedom, security, and affordable & accessible higher education. #HigherEdBenefitsEveryone @AAUP

Proud CUNY graduate @jumaane.bsky.social stood in solidarity with @aaup.org @psc-cuny.org outside oligarch Marc Rowan's office to denounce the Educational Trump Loyalty Oath. The people beat the oligarchs to elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. We'll beat them again to preserve academic freedom.

What a world

Nearly a full year between these two posts, the no phone thing isn't going great.

I'm too tired to read and I don't really want to be on my phone so I've spent the last half hour just listening to my dad chew a protein bar.

Today, @aaup.org @aaup-penn.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org outside Apollo Global Management's Midtown office to protest Marc Rowan's "Compact for Higher Education". PSC-CUNY President James Davis explains why this assault on higher ed undermines academic freedoms and our democracy itself.

Andrew Cuomo won’t stop ICE.

tooth hurts so bad I'm limping

Tremendous historical work from Nathan here. You should subscribe to Notes on the Crises.

WHERE IN NEW YORK IS ANDREW CUOMO, Ep. 2 The disgraced ex-governor has been a frequent visitor to Staten Island since losing the primary to Zohran. Our local reporter Shenuque Tissera was on the scene to ask evil Andrew the burning questions New Yorkers need answers for. youtu.be/n1zB5hcB3R0

For what its worth, I signed this

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Four years ago, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social addressed the housing crisis in this video I directed for The Gravel Institute. From citizen, to assemblyman, and now to mayor, Zohran has remained clear and committed. Politicians aren't heroes, but they can be heralds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVuC...

found some old jokes in my email that are as much fun as they are about food

NEW PIECE: I finally unveil the deep segregationist Georgia relationships of Fed Chair Bill Martin I dug up over the course of researching my (now set aside) book on the Federal Reserve: Picking Losers. Its a labyrinthine story so grab a coffee & Subscribe www.crisesnotes.com/bombshell-19...

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

Fact check, Cuomo is lying. Only one member of the rent guidelines board has an unexpired term and that is the end of 2026. rentguidelinesboard.cityofnewyork.us/about/board-...

Finally getting to this one. These distinctions do matter, and the sooner the media catches up, the better.

It’s not too hard to follow, Tankus provides great maps

a century of scifi warning us to be careful with AI and the second we get even the barest facsimile of the real thing it immediately destroys our brains and the public trust maybe we should I don't know stop it

This is an incredibly important point imo.

Yeah, they hit him deliberately.

made a new movie with some friends. trailer below www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY1S...

I'm finally back from being sick and putting the finishing touches on a piece about government shutdowns. Out in 6 hours. You won't want to miss it. www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/signup

This is real. Chicago today.

Still a lot of people that seemingly don’t know we’re all @secondwindgroup.com now making the best stuff we’ve ever made. There’s literally nobody left working on video at the old site. Just a dead brand being used for name recognition for gambling shit.

the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away

> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis > It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

laughed so hard my teeth clicked together, causing me great pain

the advil trying to keep the panic-inducing pain in my infected tooth at bay

Ok, tell that to my Dad (dementia) who got obsessed with AI slop YouTube videos about the Pawn Stars getting arrested for human trafficking (there are hours and hours of this) and then called me at 5:30am to tell me he thought my Mom (dead) was kidnapped by the Pawn Stars.

every day feels heavy on the heart in ways i never could have imagined when i was a kid

I wrote my first ever play after my scriptwriting lecturer bumped into me at the uni library, & reminded me that the deadline was midnight that night. I thought I had a whole extra month. I blasted a 90 min 2 hander out in 6 hrs, with no prep, & got my first 1st when it was marked. Fuck "AI".

what if there was a character named Tommy Tomato. What would he be doing

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT

how many years did the Politics Experts spend lecturing against abolishing ICE and defunding the police and now we’re seeing the long predictable results of two parties building a police state our entire lives. this isn’t new in that it was always going to come to this

It absolutely boggles my mind that AI proponents truly do not care *at all* about the treacherous nightmare world that is being built in real-time directly in front of us. I don't care that you love your stupid toy! You can't have it! Go play with something else!
