a well-marbled Whole Foods steak had been air-dried uncovered inside my refrigerator 6 hours, then still uncovered, brought to room temperature, salted and covered generously with freshly-cracked pepper, seared above a medium-high flame inside a beautiful small well-seasoned French vintage steel pan

Chris! Homan does NOT command the national guard! Only the governor does! Newsome will give orders not HOMAN!
Cali! You are about to find out who your governor is and by dammit! Oregon and Washington you are on notice!
Outlaw ice!

If the national guard shows up in Los Angeles it’s because Newsome allowed and condoned it. The feds don’t control the National Guard.

cobbles are naturally rounded stoned used for paving and building

that building is itself an alien in New York City
I knew it well, an oppressive fixture at the edge if my first neighborhood in the City
it was the site of the disgraceful forced registration of “aliens” after 9/11

In city after city, police are the single biggest budget item.
And I don’t mean like 2% when everything else is 1%. I mean like 40%.
Police take priority over drug treatment, psych care, housing, etc etc etc.
And now we are here.

This wasn't even a month ago:
"Let's be real: Cuomo is the Democratic Party's Trump.
And if we don't speak up - and organize - he could coast right into Gracie Mansion. We can't let that happen!"

the kindest take on MAGA’s approach to things queer and fabulous is that they want to make us invisible
