1986, cover story of Spy's first issue, "The 10 Most Embarrassing New Yorkers." His quote about why he should handle nuclear arms negotiations with the USSR: "It would take an hour and a half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles. I think I know most of it anyway."
What moment made you realize Trump is unfit for office? Tell us.

These interviews are absolute gold. What a life. RIP Quincy Jones.
Just thinking of that time in 2018 when Quincy Jones gave a couple of remarkable interviews with eye-popping details. RIP to a real one. Here's the Vulture interview (1/2) vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-j…

Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.

New York City is under a drought watch. Here’s former Mayor Ed Koch in 1980 for the “Keep New York City Wet” campaign — maybe @NYCMayor should replicate it (via @LaGuardiaWagner youtu.be/WG9Bg9VFYE0?si=6kPm…)

The Economist is endorsing Kamala Harris. By making Donald Trump leader of the free world, Americans would gamble with the economy, the rule of law and international peace. Voters who minimise the risks are deluding themselves econ.st/4fluZAw 👇
