A photo of Mayor Mamdani leaning forward like he’s listening is overlaid on a simple striped background. Large text above his head reads β€œkeep your promise! Fund nyc public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget.”

Smaller text at the top reads β€œNYCPLAN Public Library Action Network”

At the bottom of the image is an oblong bubble with text inside that reads β€œvisit nycplan.org for more information”

Love your library? Help us secure stable funding!

Take 30 seconds and send the Mayor a short note;

Tell him to honor his promise, and fund the NYC library systems at a minimum of 0.5% of the city’s expense budget.

It may not my place to say but I don't understand why they need AI for these projects? And the environmental consequences seem in direct conflict with indigenous values?

They're good and healthier slow cooked! I've simmered them in stock, coconut milk, lemon or lime juice, add a lil white wine or tequila if you like... get you some tender pulled chicken in the crock pot! (But yes, thighs are superior.)

Same! I taught myself to read and was big into books and art and playing with my dog as a kid (still am). I'm used to having to entertain myself, especially when my mom was at work after school. I'm rarely bored when I can just lie down, stare at the ceiling and get lost in thought. ELITE!

George because he seemed like a good conversationalist, humble and sweet plus it's a strategic position for Freddie, Michael and Whitney hijinks.

Tim Curry Breaks Down His Most Iconic Roles
Tim Curry Breaks Down His Most Iconic Roles YouTube video by The Academy

This is delightful which of course it is because it’s Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are

1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park

2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector

Tatum 1.0 was a *really* good friend. So many people, especially emotionally immature teenagers, can't deal with others' grief, as we are currently witnessing, but she literally was ride or die. #Scream7

But I'm happy the franchise finally gave Tatum 1.0 her flowers. It was so odd to me how her death had been glossed over considering her close connection to both Sid and Dewey. #Scream7

Was actively rooting for Joel McHale to get got (the aura of Talk Soup is long gone). Sidney marrying a cop makes absolutely no sense when Dewey and Patrick Dempsey were never able to effectively defend her. That Golden Retriever guard dog (DEEPLY UNSERIOUS) from S3 was a better protector. #Scream7

I see why the streets been real quiet on #Scream7. I don't think I've ever seen Matthew Lillard in a film I didn't enjoy, or didn't manage to elevate it. And turning Stu's house into an AirBnB was the creepiest part of the film, wtf. #horrorsky
