I am Art Monster.
I write fiction and non. I make films free of studios. I paint and exhibit. I write songs for Corporal Punishment. I photograph. I act.
In other words, I have the privilege of being poor in a variety of art forms.
I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

When I first saw APOCALYPSE NOW, what I most appreciated was that it felt like daily life.
I felt the same about THE FRENCH CONNECTION. In fact I recall telling friends: “Finally a film reflecting how it feels to be an artist.”

The president of the White House Correspondents’ Association is Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich. She’s married to a Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick.
Expecting the WHCA to forcefully fight Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico is like expecting your goldfish to cook your dinner.

Rage is a psychological thriller by Stephen King, published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The novel describes a school shooting, and has been associated with several real-life high school shooting incidents in the 1980s and 1990s. In response, King allowed the novel to fall out of print.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Wake to the unfamiliar rumble of trains and morning traffic and a Vespa revving in the street below our open bedroom window.
I already miss the gentle motion of the boat, the random slaps of water (and fish) against the hull, the sibillant whisper of the wind.

One idea @gothamist.com. Can we make the local NY vaccine guidance more prominent? Put that first? If someone reads the incorrect federal guidance, they might not read the whole piece, and they'll miss the all-important LOCAL guidelines. (Misinformation can be amplified by paragraph placement.)

Interesting. Covid 19, while not quite the same threat as in 2020, is still causing some deaths. And there's been a recent uptick. Stay informed, read this, and get regular shots.

COVID hospitalizations are on the rise in NYC. Here's how to protect yourself.
More than 500 admissions were recorded in the five boroughs in the week ending Sept. 5.
