When I gave up trying to stream Spotify last week and just buy a discman and dive into all my old CDs instead, I knew this day would come, but it’s official: we’ve entered Locust Abortion Technician stage.

Came across a Slint doc on Youtube yesterday and learned “Don’t get me wrong, he’s a nice guy, I like him just fine, but he’s a mouth breather” was said by Steve Albini about Slint drummer Britt Walford after he flooded Albini’s home studio while housesitting. That is all.

The Jesus Wizard...oh wait, I did this wrong.

I spoke with FDNY and NYPD 109th Precinct at the scene of the five alarm fire at 40-10 Main Street, which is currently considered under control. There are five minor injuries, which are being treated at the scene. Street closures continue, and the 7 train is still not running.

The damage from this morning's fire on Main Street was extensive.

First time in Williamsburg in a long while, within five minutes found this on the sidewalk. Even the trash is cooler than me!

20 years ago today, Wendy & I left TX for NYC. Remember it like it was yesterday…sun was damn hot, clouds were really low, and birds filled the sky, eagles to be precise. This is now easily the longest I’ve ever lived in one city.

We are in the midst of a homeless crisis, but the city still only has one intake shelter in the Bronx for families in crisis. We can do better. Read my op-ed in New York Daily News: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

The 24-hour work shift is an unjust practice that hurts both home care workers and the people who rely on their critical care. I joined 1199SEIU💫, aides & advocates in the disabled community to call on state lawmakers to finally allocate the funding to end this terrible system.
