Get a bunch of writers like that together. Make it easy to pay for all of them. Radical idea. You could call it a “newspaper”, or maybe a “magazine”…. https://twitter.com/shelleypowers/status/1465678172943437828

New Jersey Civil War The thing that causes the most division between North and South in NJ is whether to call a particular processed pork product Taylor Ham (North) or Pork Roll (South). This store on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights is having it both ways. #FilmPhotography https://t.co/vo1jwKqyKd

If you’re a #film photographer and you’re in the US, you should see a new documentary, Grain, about those of us who shoot on film. It’s available until next Sunday on http://docnyc.net as part of the DOC NYC film festival. Just finished it. Loved it. #FilmPhotography

My friend Kat has been hit by the booster worse than I have. For the record, my left arm was sore for two days. On the first day, my left hip was also sore. On the second day, the hip was fine, but I had soreness in my right calf. Day 3, all was well. https://twitter.com/katswansey/status/1456422644878876674

@markjfine That “backing down” was compromise. Don’t blame progressives for the shitshow of the past couple of months. Progressives have bent over backwards to get this through. It’s so-called moderates, specifically the paid-for and owned Senators from Coal and Pharma who won’t compromise

@markjfine But they didn’t refuse to pass anything that didn’t contain what they wanted. They dropped SO much that their initial $6 billion is down to $1.75 billion. What they *did* insist on was tying the bipartisan infrastructure bill to the BBB bill, which even Pelosi supports
