When people who have never been to NYC visit for a few days and I ask them what has surprised them the most, the answer is always a version of "People just walk around and do their own thing" or "You can go to Central Park" or "It's normal" or "Everybody's pretty nice." I'll never get used to it.

The Knicks celebration + progressive primary wins + rent freeze seems to be hitting anti-NYCers hard on social media. It's a reminder to me that for many people, my city's function is to reassure them by serving as a semi-abstract idea of hell, and when we don't deliver that, the force is disturbed.
This doesn't really need a "Yes, but."
Everything in this administration is by trolls and aimed at trolls, and that's why they're so freaked out about the midterms (and determined to try to steal them), because elections are one of the only moments when the existence of people who oppose them penetrates their bubble.
This has been a very big Bluesky week for both the "I'm angry that some things are actually getting done" center and the "Not knowing how to talk to people is actually a sign of my integrity" portion of the left. Here's hoping both sides can come together in November, and also say much less.
A little Oscar trivia for you: I'm not certain, but I believe that Ann Blyth was the last living person to receive a nomination in any category during the 1940s. So...lights out on a decade.
Ann Blyth has died at 98. She received a Supporting Actress nomination 81 (!!) years ago for her completely delicious performance as Joan Crawford's wicked daughter Veda in Mildred Pierce. Man, does that performance hold up. Enjoy 3:00 of immorality and immortality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs1J...
Some NYC news: Mamdani just won his rent freeze--one of his biggest campaign promises!
That said, I want to make clear that the three journalists involved in the Slate discussion are all smart queer people who are very much on the right side of things, and their conversation is much more nuanced than the provocative headline/tease suggests, so this is not an invitation to a pile-on.
This is one of those "What if" questions where you have to consider the alternative, and even the BEST version of the alternative is "Most gay or trans people were fine as long as they keep their heads down and didn't ask for anything." Which, of course, is not a viable definition of "fine."
Stepping in with a bit of historical perspective to say a) no and b) this is a question that smart queer journalists like the three in this talk have asked many times over the decades. Visibility causes really ugly backlash. That doesn't mean visibility ASKS for backlash--or that it isn't essential.
With some training, yes.
Close, but...no.
Thanks very much! It's a great package--truly everything you'd ever want to know, and the movie looks better than the day it opened (I imagine).
This is going to be the mainstream Democratic-candidate position by 2028, and anyone who wants the nomination is going to have to embrace it. Yes, it is a litmus test. They're not all bad.
I really hate it when people here post the same thing a dozen times in order to make their point. That said:
