It's official... This morning New York City officially and permanently co-named West 8th Street as Jimi Hendrix Way. 💜 The new street sign unveiled today at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 8th Street is just down the street from Jimi Hendrix's landmark Electric Lady Studios in the heart of Greenwich Village. Stay Experienced!

Here's the NY Times article everyone is talking about. A gift from me to you. 👀 nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magaz…

Long Now is a devoted fan and contributor to the Long-Term Art Projects (LTAP) collective, an assembly of extraordinary artworks designed to outlive their creators and inspire the stewardship of future generations.  Here are a few from the collection: - Zeitpyramide (Time Pyramid) (since 01993): Scheduled to take 1,200 years to reach its final pyramid shape, a new concrete block is placed once every ten years, and will reach completion in the year 03193. - 7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks) (since 01982): a massive social sculpture of 7,000 oak trees, each paired with a basalt stone. - Letters of Utrecht (since 02012): An endless poem being carved letter-by-letter into the city’s cobblestones by stone masons every Saturday. - Uffington White Horse (since c. 1000 BCE): A 3,000-year-old prehistoric chalk figure has survived millennia on a hill in England thanks to local communities who continuously gather to maintain it.

Keep humanizing these human beings, who are doing their best to live their lives, build a family, and be part of a community. They're not "aliens." They're not "it." They're not "other." WE ARE US. We are all living beings surviving on the same planet, our only planet.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56. Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage. According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025. Marjane Satrapi leaves behind a powerful cultural, artistic, and moral legacy. Her courage will continue to resonate far beyond her lifetime. Narges Foundation 4 Jun 2026 #MarjanSatrapi

I am thinking exactly the same thing. Been watching 60 Minutes every Sunday since it first aired. It's the longest, most successful news show ever and hugely profitable. PBS-Frontline already has the new chops, talent, and respect to carry that torch well.

NEW: The Reading Room's Trump-Epstein Timeline, available online and in our pop-up exhibits, spotted in lower Manhattan over the weekend—the work of New Yorkers wanting more people to see it for themselves. The grassroots demand for the truth is growing because the magnitude of the evidence is impossible to ignore. Get a closer look at the timeline here: trumpsonian.us/rr/timeline-p…

ProPublica has no paywall because we believe investigative journalism is a public service. But free to read doesn’t mean free to produce. Our work is deeply researched, time-intensive and funded by readers. Keep the truth accessible to all. Join us: propub.li/43zSvWH
