My mom (and some of the churchladies) started a small donation based theater workshop for 7-15 year olds in Brooklyn on Saturdays that will include acting lessons, exploring theater of the past, and visiting new Broadway shows! (mom not pictured) 🥹

RIP to De La Soul's David Jolicoeur (aka Trugoy), a fellow Brooklyn native who had one of the smoothest, chillest deliveries in the rap game and helped bring us one of the best hip hop albums of all time

@David_McIntyre Damn well this is interesting - the photos of #BiggieSmalls by @David_McIntyre were made for @InterviewMag but the negatives were lost for over 20 years, then found in 2015. "It was like unearthing a time capsule filled with rare and valuable artifacts" (via @OurBKSocial)

PT. 1: "They like, 'If B.I.G. was alive, Hov wouldn't be in this position/ If B.I.G. had survived, y'all would've got The Commission..." — Jay-Z on Pusha T's "Neck & Wrist" (2022)

A long thread on the hilarious, tragic but eternal friendship b/w Jay-Z + Biggie Smalls.

Brooklyn to Euphoria sounds about right. 🔥

Something about Fez workin at Woodland in BK makes all the sense to me. Also the comments were hilarious talking about this is the day he quit. Everyone was twerking over some chicken and waffles every weekend!

YES. YES. YES!!!!

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

BREAKING: @MTA has announced pilot to install platform screen doors at 3 subway stations:
* Times Sq (7 train)
* 3rd Av (L)
* Sutphin Blvd (E)

This will be a huge win for safety & efficiency. Truly a milestone in the history of NYC’s subways. Congrats to all who fought for this.

I trust Collier with this story—she included people who’ve lived in the neighborhood during the time….including my mom. (Stopped in my tracks when I heard her in the trailer.) Can’t wait for this @collier!
