brad lander is both cool as hell and the kind of civil servant who feels almost mythical in this jaded age: one who advocates for the powerless, who doesn’t compromise his principles in the face of enormous pressure, who sacrifices personal glory for the collective good

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

the thing making me so simultaneously hopeful and agonizingly anxious is that i truly LOVE this city and my fellow new yorkers. we deserve a mayor who represents OUR interests, not bought-and-paid-for cuomo.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

10 years ago today I published a blog post about the pomological watercolor collection, which you may know from @pomological.xor.blue. it changed my life in some surprising ways! take a little trip with me down memory lane parkerhiggins.net/2025/04/10-y...

having four beers on a work night in your twenties? a victimless act! a foible at worst! business as usual! but in your mid-thirties? dire organ music plays. a heat shimmer distorts your vision around the edges. you realize that somewhere, far back along the path, you irretrievably lost your way

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.
