The political craziness continued this week. I took this screenshot shortly after Biden announced the end of his reelection campaign. When I first saw it, I thought there was no way anyone could defeat Trump, not this late in the game. However, Harris seized the moment and really energized people–amazing.
Meanwhile, the former president essentially told people he’d ensure the next election is the last one people will need to vote in. Yes, the stakes are high this year, please be informed and vote in November.
In lighter news, I did a volunteer project at Wetlab in the Hudson River Park. It’s a cool place that’s doing good work. They are open to the public several days a week. I recommend stopping by to learn more about the wildlife in our waterways.
On two separate video calls at work, I received comments on the Gibson t-shirt I was wearing. Of course, they were musicians and we chatted about what we played etc. One of these guys was a pro (before he decided he wanted health insurance). I was surprised that he never heard of Jamulus. I then proceeded extol the virtues of it–always be evangelizing.
We went to Academy Records and Kalustyan’s this weekend. Both are amazing and examples of great New York City stores. One could get lost in either for hours.

I agree with the NYCLU’s staff attorney on this one: “Slowing down the subway with error-prone scanners and flooding our subways with cops is mere security theater that turns every New Yorker into a suspect and takes resources away from supportive services that will help keep crime at low rates like more housing, mental health, and employment services,” - 10 etiquette rules to not be the worst in New York City
