Animals lining up to get into Noah's ark, 1565. With extra sheep, evidently allowed by God. Also appreciate attention to Noah family pets by Jacopo Bassano, whose day is today.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

One of my senators, @schumer.senate.gov, hasn’t posted on TikTok since 1/8 (and that post is a blurry pic of Carter’s casket). Kirstin Gillibrand (doesn’t even have a Bluesky account) hasn’t posted a TikTok since 2022. My rep, @nadler.house.gov, doesn’t appear to have a TikTok. Utterly useless.
