Cares about politics. Elitist asshole about bands and clothes and books. Trying to not age into an embarrassing stereotype of a Brooklyn hipster but I'm sure that ship sailed when I saw Parquet Courts live. Trying to find the energy to write things.

Copy of dialogue from a story in progress that relies heavily on em dashes, reads: “Of course, of course, my pleasure to communicate to our fellow New Yorkers how our administration is responding to this ongoing crisis. But I would push back on the idea of there being any question of the legitimacy of our elections or elected leadership.” “The President has repeatedly accused you of election tampering, sir, how do you—“ “The President’s office, has, let me ask you when was the last time—“ “—respond to these, yes the White House has made—“ “—anyone saw the President, and we have—“ “—claims that your election—“ “—responded on the—“ “—was fraudulent—“ “—record, and—“ “—sir, can you—“ “—let’s. Stop. Take a breath.”
A screencap of my spam inbox, covering the last three days which shows three sex/porn scam/spam emails; one health scam/spam email; one email each from some local Nextdoor/Citizen app and Substack that I couldn't subscribe from; and 12 Democratic fundraising emails.

Screenshot from wiki’s entry on hypertime, reading: “Waid stated that ‘the possibilities are endless. Hypertime is an unashamed reaction to nearly 15 years of comics being made “more realistic”, less “larger than life”. As far as we're concerned, DC Comics shouldn't be about rules and regulations and “can't happen‘s” and “shouldn't be's”; they should be about anything and everything that tells a good story and gets fans excited’.”

An email screenshot reading: “Hello, I’m writing once again to demand a response to my request for a refund of all tuition paid by me to Columbia University. In recruitment materials, guided tours, and the university’s own online presence at the time of my application and enrollment, Columbia presented itself as dedicated to free speech and free inquiry. Over and over and over again I was regaled with stories of the 1968 occupations and how the university had dedicated itself, in the aftermath and years since, to allowing for student protest and standing for moral causes. Both the university’s actions in response to pro-Palestinian protests and yesterday’s news of a $200 million dollar bribe paid to the administration clearly do not meet these standards and ideals the university professed. The organization clearly has the money, I graduated from the School of General Studies with around $190,000 in debt, so I assume the university can find 0.001% of the bribe paid to the administration to satisfy my demands based on flagrant false advertising.”
Screen cap of the Financial Times recent article on the NYC mayor’s race with a paragraph reading: “His Wall Street critics disagree. One hedge fund manager said: ‘The possibility of Zohran coming in is frightening. It’s going to empty the city . . . It’s much too close to call right now. It’s not going to be good for the city if he gets in there.’” Below is a picture of Mamdani smiling on the campaign trail.
