Sarah McNally’s Book Club The owner of the McNally Jackson literary empire is reshaping the city’s reading life.

This is such a wilder story than it needed to be www.vulture.com/article/sara...

‘This Would Be Like Losing Our CBGB’ Terraza 7, a Jackson Heights institution, is in trouble. Supporters — including Jessica Ramos and AOC — say it must be saved.

Wrote about one of my favorite places in New York, a cultural and political crucible of Jackson Heights that is now fighting for its life. Among others, I heard from countless musicians, Jessica Ramos, the former booker for ABC No Rio, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Spotify Wants You in the 'Mood Machine.' Liz Pelly Wants You in the Music Scene "There's nothing better than discovering music through going to shows."

In the run-up to "Mood Machine's" release date, Liz Pelly said she's often asked by readers what alternatives she proposes in terms of digital music discovery. But Pelly said she'd much rather talk about the other way to discover music: real frickin' life!

In 2024 the
Best movie I saw was Janet Planet
Best book I read was Say Nothing
Best album I spun was Tigers Blood
Best show I attended was Cats: The Jellicle Ball (close second Grenfell)
And I heard so much good music I can't choose among my beloved darlings

If I were an alien who got dropped off in the Kansas City airport I would tell all my alien brothers that they kill you here unless you’re wearing chiefs gear

RIP

It’s so cool how algorithms are so smart and knowledgeable

Two more nights of Room Room Room at here arts!!!

I loved "room room room in the many mansions of eternal glory for thee and for everyone" by the theatre-band Friend of Friend at HERE: half a gentle lecture on the Publick Universal Friend (an 18th century trans prophet), half a pseudo-church service, complete with a sermon on hyperpop (1/3)

Would be “elite” if @nymag.com agreed to a second contract 🤝🙏

A mock magazine cover that reads "New York Union: Media Workers Tell All!"

Remember in October when @nymag.com published its annual Power Issue with members of the “media elite?" Well, @nymagunion.bsky.social thought you might want to hear from media workers themselves.

Introducing our union Power Issue: MEDIA WORKERS TELL ALL!

In the past few months, I have met with young trans people who have either have been, may be or will be affected by the decisions I and my predecessor have taken. I have listened to their concerns, their fears and their anxieties, and I want to talk to them directly now. I know it’s not easy being a trans kid in our country today, the trans community is at the wrong end of all of the statistics for mental ill health, self-harm and suicide. I can’t pretend to know what that’s like, but I do know what it’s like to feel you have to bury a secret about yourself, to be afraid of who you are, to be bullied for it, and then to experience the liberating experience of coming out. I know it won’t feel like it based on the decisions I’m taking today, but I really do care about this and so does this government. I am determined to improve the quality of care and access to healthcare for all trans people.

wes streeting telling trans kids that he empathizes with them because of his experience with the closet and cares about them at the very moment that he's taking away their fundamental rights is beyond enraging www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Gonna try out a new catchphrase “no way in Jose” lmk what you guys think

loved that one!

How It Went Down, Revised: Salesman之死 and Room, Room, Room … Two plays that find power in strange historical corners.

In @vulture.com Sara Holdren says “Room, Room, Room shines brightest…when Boyd sings gently of the certain apocalypse, then encourages us, in the face of it, to love each other harder.” www.vulture.com/2023/10/thea...

Whatever happened to being in the back seat of my mom’s Honda accord t9 texting all my friends all the ways I’m thankful for them en route to my aunts house for dinner

Probably nine out of ten of the worst meals I’ve ever had in my life have been in November

Before all the post election narratives are calcified, it’s worth rethinking a few leading candidates
