Mayor Zohran Mamdani is again flooding the airwaves and social media with snappy videos of himself in a custom Carhartt jacket, warning New Yorkers to stay safe. He is again holding news conferences at the city’s emergency operations headquarters, surrounded by top aides in outerwear bearing agency emblems. And he is again at the helm of a government operation that, by virtue of its complexity and general unwieldiness, can lend itself to people falling through the cracks.

The tone of contempt here, in a news update, is disgraceful. "How dare Mamdani and his team...uh...wear those clothes and use social media to try to prevent bad things from happening when...um...bad things could still happen in a situation like this!" GTFO.

Speaking of alt-weeklies, yes

Um, did the Grammys forget Sly Stone died this year?

What a wonderful movie his life would make’

Same!

Rob Reiner, as a human being, is an ELEVEN.

May he and his wife, Michele Singer, Rest In Peace.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

I always go back to this scene. Not because Diane Keaton portrays her fear so vividly but because her understated reaction to seeing Warren Beatty is able to say more about love and closeness, about feeling relaxed and secure in somone's presence, than probably any other in movie history

A mark of greatness in my profession (acting, not shitposting) is an effortless quality. One of the reasons Diane Keaton doesn’t get the same roses as, say Meryl Streep or Glenn Close, is she made it look so easy. It definitely was not. One of the greats.

RIP Diane Keaton, 79, one of a kind

Elephants react fondly to music. Just heartwarming. Big Ears 🐘all the better to hear him 🤗 #MusicMonday

Jonathan Ajayi as Smee in Alien: Earth

Has anyone offered up any appreciation for Jonathan Ajayi in Alien: Earth yet? Of all the Children, he's given my favorite performance of "kid in a grown-up body" by a country mile.

And, because things are horrible

here’s Ray Charles serenading Johnny Cash for his birthday.

You’re welcome. 🖤

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

This crushes me. That elephant will never forget that encounter nor how it felt during.

I remember him blubbering away at a Nantucket conference years ago. Fake then and fake now.

I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They did. On St. Marks Place. My friend, Midnite, who made superb leather jackets was on the steps with Mick and Keith.
