Movie lovers (and Pride people): There's a huge new bells-and-whistles 4K UHD/Blu version of the 1970 film The Boys in the Band out. W/ docs, videos by me, Michael Musto, and Daniel Kremer, full-length docs, essays by @tylekurner.bsky.social, @aduralde.bsky.social and others. It's definitive!
I think Brad Lander made a smart distinction between unity and solidarity, and offered a good marching order for Democrats all across the spectrum, in his victory speech last night: "Unity means we already agree. Solidarity means we do the work to build bridges even across significant differences."
Someone just sent me an AI video of Whitney Houston and Clive Davis meeting in some Liberace-looking version of heaven and...I need to hire a bounty hunter.
Actually New York City residents talking about the complex relationship between a New York City mayor and a New York City congressman is not "solipsism"; it's local politics, and I think we're handling the discussion fine. But if yet another heartland critique of us is needed, we'll send up a flare.
It's no more or less representative than when an incumbent wins with 15K votes.
Primarying incumbents is exactly how the system is supposed to work. Every two years, we get to decide, is this the best congressman for us or is there someone better? It should happen all the time. If it did, we’d have a more engaged electorate and a more engaged Congress.
This is Bluesky. We give everything air here. The site is literally named after air.
Just noting for the record that in a city of 8.6 million people, the circulation of this peculiar old Australian newspaper is 117,000.
It has been extraordinary to watch the NYC electorate transform, in just five years, from so habitually disengaged that it would literally elect Eric Adams to this. It feels like a huge and very swift realignment, with the winners united not just by left politics but by their sense of emergency.
Micah Lasher beats Alex Bores for Congress in my district. A lot of ways this one can be analyzed, but it might sort of come down to Upper West Side beats Upper East Side. (Either one would have been fine and Jack President John Fitzgerald Kennedy Schlossberg was a distant third.)
I thought that, but now I'm wondering if he had his eye on a bigger prize.
The Brad Lander trajectory in the last 15 months is astonishing. I'm not sure I've ever seen a New York politician--aside from Mamdani--play his hand better.
I know the rationale of a lot of legacy media organizations is "Lies are intentional, and we can't be in someone's head to know intent." But given Trump's history, saying "We can't know" is simply not honest--a lie of its own. It serves no one to ignore a lifelong pattern with thousands of examples.
It's okay, and even journalistically responsible, to say he's probably lying, since that would fit a documented pattern of lying. Not raising it is bizarre. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/u...

My very very unscientific talking-to-people-in-the-nabe poll suggests that Alex Bores was actually helped by the onslaught of relentlessly negative and fearmongering mailers about him. I think Micah Lasher is probably still a narrow favorite, but I will be fascinated to see the returns tonight.
You don't need to ask permission to ask an off-topic question! Just ask it! You're a journalist. These people are public servants. They don't get to set the rules for you.
This has been a genuinely interesting race in that it has been pretty ugly between two candidates, Micah Lasher and Alex Bores, who are very ideologically similar, with two other candidates, George Conway and Schlossberg, providing noisy distraction. Could go a lot of ways.
