        For some people early September means back to school, or fantasy football season. For Sara and I it’s … START OF 2025 / 26 THEATRE SEASON!

        We started tonight with “Art” on Broadway, a revival of a French play which was a big hit in the UK and US in the 90s.

        It was .. OK. A bit dated. Had something of a Seinfeld vibe. James Corden (yeah, I know) had a fantastic monologue and Neil Patrick Harris and Bobby Carnavale were good, but not great. We did see it in previews, which we don’t normally, so it may warm up a bit.

                        NYCpol, suicide mention [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                        gothamist.com/news/forged-sign

                        In approximately everything he does, Mayor Adams acts as though the rules do not apply to him. And here is just another example, with a twist of the knife for an ordinary New Yorker.

                        [Gothamist logo]

More than a dozen residents of Morningside Gardens, a complex of six 21-story apartment buildings in Upper Manhattan, said they either did not sign a form endorsing the mayor’s independent candidacy, that they were tricked into signing for Adams, or that the people who allegedly signed did not live at their address.

Leila Lieberman, 93, was stunned to learn her stepson, Adam, supposedly signed the petition and listed her apartment as his address.

He died by suicide in 1997, she said.

“I’m sure that they [politicians] do things to get on the ballot, to get elected, but that is something they shouldn’t have done,” she said.

                              Testimony on this change is due TODAY. Here's a script you can use (you can copy/paste from the alt text)

                              Hello,

 

As a New Yorker who supports true democracy and fair elections, I urge you to REJECT ERIC ADAMS’ PROPOSAL to switch New York City to a “jungle primary.” This change, which the mayor is clearly trying to force through without public consent, will diminish the voices of Black and Brown New Yorkers, depress youth turnout in our elections, and is a transparent power-grab by our embattled Mayor. New York City cannot afford to upend its election system simply because Eric Adams is desperate. Please respect the will of the people and leave our primaries as they are.

 

Thank you,

[Your name]

                                Notice to bus riders:

                                If you pay for your ride using OMNY, the tap-and-go payment system, be prepared to bring up proof of your payment on a moment's notice.

                                I was just now stopped by a cop as I exited the M86, demanding that I show a receipt of my fare payment. The bus was held for several minutes, idling with doors open, as I worked through my surprise and confusion, and then fought with Bank of America's web app to show that I had spent $2.90 on the MTA today.
