So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

Exactly this. There was a time, so long ago now there’s probably plenty of younger NYers who don’t know, that NYDN was only legacy outlet doing what needed to be done to raise red flags. Then the chickenshits in charge said umm maybe dont do that ppl might get mad so here we are.

Devastating day.

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

We joke but the Galleria Borghese website is only operational during their opening hours. If the museum isn’t open, the website simply does not load.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Similar story, first day of NW grad school, we go around & say fave journos, & there's 57 Christiane Amanpour's (much respect) & some others you'd imagine and I blurt out Mike Lupica (which was true then AND I later got to work w/ him) & felt like the entire room turned to look & instantly judge me!

Dear media, stop acting like Trump means what he says Whether over "a deal" on Greenland or a "pivot" on ICE, we need far more skepticism

Over 10 years of his BS and lies, yet @sulliview.bsky.social still has to write this:

I am immediately filled with sadness and rage. Something in me just died, to be quite honest, and it was a murder.

I once again feel so bad for my friends who remain and were forced to send the pages to the plant like that. At least we have the DN Union fighting the good fights.

Losing Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara in quick succession is a pretty big blow for people who enjoy elementary things such as "laughter" and "joy"
