Even for Fox, this is a hilarious headline

This is the *6 AM Saturday* showing two weeks from now on the IMAX 70 mm screen near me. Who ever heard of a 6 AM movie?!

Yep. No fun to breathe. This was on the UWS around 6 PM.

Looking across Columbus Avenue, with brick buildings on either side. The sky is a weird gray-orange color and the sun is smudgy with haze.

We had it in NYC in 2023

I was a participant in this study! Proud to play a small role in advancing science. But my advice to you all is: if anyone wants to do vestibular testing on you, RUN! Run hard, and don’t look back.

In fact I snapped this photo in my Manhattan neighborhood tonight!

I saw this Barbara Kruger piece at the Hirshhorn as a teenager. I was a military brat and burgeoning feminist and it blew me away. It still gives me chills.

Huh? Maine has RCV

Randomly thinking about one of my favorite bits of movie dialog

Crash: Who dresses you? I mean, don’t you think this is a little excessive for the Carolina league?
Annie: “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom” - William Blake.
Crash: William Blake?
Annie: William Blake!
Crash: William Blake?
Annie: William Blake!!
Crash: What do you mean William Blake?
Annie: I MEAN WILLIAM BLAKE!

Force your colonial subjects into abject poverty, then ridicule them as savages: a game as old as humankind, probably

England and Scotland were both subject to the window tax, but Ireland was exempted because of its impoverished state. Some members of Parliament joked:

“In advocating the extension of the window-tax to Ireland, the hon. Gentleman seemed to forget the fact that an English window and an Irish window were very different things. In England, the window was intended to let the light in; but in Ireland the use of a window was to let the smoke out” (House of Commons 1819).

Ran into the @jamiemcgonnigal.bsky.social school board campaign at the (tiny, adorable) Mt. Rainer pride parade yesterday. Super impressed by: 1) These giveaways, maybe the coolest I’ve ever seen, especially in a leafy progressive suburb? 2) His slogan: “A parent, not a politician.”

I love you Maggie O’Farrell but peasants in 1860s/70s Ireland were not eating cheese.

Also LOL at Jay Jacobs nypost.com/2026/06/01/u...

Even state Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs took a shot at Mamdani for turning on Espaillat, a five-term incumbent.

“I think it’s a mistake. When you have a good incumbent, stick with him,” Jacobs said.

“Espaillat is an excellent congressman,” he said. “I’ve heard from a lot people in the Hispanic community and in general who are upset about him going against Espaillat.”

The national holiday known as Tart Cherry Season kicked off today in NYC

Several pint boxes of sour cherries at a farmers market

It’s an absolutely pristine summer day here in NYC. We should base all our summer days on it.

I think of Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend as the January 6 song (even though it came out a whole year beforehand). But the music is SO PRETTY and upbeat.

And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was
dignified
I don't wanna live like this
But I don't wanna die

I’m stalking the farmers market for sour cherries so I can make my annual batch of these. Different from the kind in the jar but so delicious.

NYT: Maraschino Cherries
Yield: About 1 pint

1 cup maraschino liqueur
1 pint sour cherries, stemmed and pitted (or substitute one 24-ounce jar sour cherries in light syrup, drained).

Bring maraschino liqueur to a simmer in a small pot. Turn off heat and add cherries. Let mixture cool, then store in a jar in refrigerator for at least 2 days before using, and up to several months.

Somebody recorded me fumbling through Jackie Coleman’s Reel in the park this morning and all I can say is … enjoy?! Absolutely perfect summer morning in NYC.

Classic

Mr. Schlichting, a three-time Trump voter, said he was satisfied with the president's explanation of why he led the country to war, then added, "I don't know how much of it is true."

An entire piece premised on the notion that you can only have one or the other, not someone from the vast sea of humanity in between

The question on Washington's mind now is:
Why can't Maine just nominate an asexual, Harvard-educated McKinsey consultant as candidate rather than some tatted up, ex-Marine riff-raff like Platner?
