Niche content that I am obsessed with: the Atlantic Terminal Gap. When announceed it was rumored to be full priced Gap. Then it opened and it says "Gap" but the content is "Gap Factory". I need a deep dive into what happened here. The people are angry.
Worst things to happen in New York City history:
1 - 9/11
2- The Gap at Atlantic Terminal being a GAP FACTORY
3 - Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire

It’s easy to Tuesday morning quarterback but it seems a take-away would be that it’s hard to run as a change candidate when the incumbent has done an, at worst, mediocre job and the person calling for change is not exactly Obama level charismatic.
I like Richard but I think this is off. Bradford went from ~1% of the vote in 2023 to ~40% now. He gave the Chow campaign (which is a formidable machine) a real challenge, as evidenced by its hard turn negative in the 11th hour. I don't think there will be much, if any, regret

I would like a movie about Emma Stone chaperoning Kieran to Poland tbh.
Jesse Eisenberg discussed the chaotic process of working with Kieran Culkin while making 'A Real Pain' at a #BFILondonFilmFestival Screen Talk on Sunday: "We didn’t know if Kieran was ever gonna show up to Poland... [He will] sign on to your thing, but then he decides he likes potatoes instead."
Culkin is "worth the risk because he’s so great," but Eisenberg said producer Emma Stone had to chaperone Culkin on the plane to Poland. "She sent me a video of him going through customs saying, ‘We are here.’ And then he was still late."

“I mean, all my friends know I’m kinky” as hell, he said, using a saltier word. “I make Christian Grey look like amateur hour.”

Nicole Kidman at the clurb: “we come to this place for make-up.”
Nicole Kidman tells British Vogue about the origin of her love for fashion, make-up, and hair:
“I’ve said it before but I used to go to trans clubs. That’s where I learnt to do my hair and make-up. I would sit down as a little freckled-faced red-headed girl and they would make me beautiful.”
“They would do my lashes and straighten my hair and put hairpieces on me and make-up. I would walk out of there and I would feel pretty. I would feel like I was transformed. And so that’s probably where it all started for me – clothes and make-up and hair – and then all of it mixed with studying literature and loving acting.”

The Heated Rivalry psychosis reaches politics.
NEW: "Not left vs. right, but top vs. bottom."
Two candidates ran on that in 2025-26.
Both won.
How a Muslim socialist from Queens and a Presbyterian seminarian from Austin built similar coalitions — 1,700 miles apart.
And what it means for 2028:

antisemitism that many Jews feel - & why shaprio mentioned this - isn't anger over criticism of Israel (it should be criticized) but a lack of curiosity or understanding why many Jews view the existence of a Jewish state in the homeland of their religion as imp to their ideology
This might be one of the silliest things I've seen a prominent Democratic politician say in a long time. Does Josh Shapiro really not think that one's "worldview" is a matter of substance worth asking about in a vetting process?

We need a Zephyr Teachout review of the Meadow Lane chicken nuggets asap.
New York City has an amazing concentration of independent grocery stores, but the way that Amazon (Whole Foods) and Walmart use their power to block them out by getting unfair deals from big suppliers is making it almost impossible to survive.
Tell your reps to support @MicahLasher and @CordellCleare important Consumer Grocery Pricing Act.
