Half of Queens is underwater because of decades of neglected infrastructure. Felony assaults are up. Hate crimes in May rose 74.4% from a year ago. Maybe if @NYCMayor focused on New Yorkers instead of Rolling Stone photo shoots and international politics he has no authority over, our city would be safer.

265 years ago today, science briefly became more important than war. A lovely short film about the 1761 Transit of Venus.

265 years ago today, science became more important than war.

TRANSIT is a two-minute AI film about the 1761 Transit of Venus - an event that inspired one of the largest scientific collaborations in history. During the Seven Years' War, rival nations allowed astronomers to continue their journeys to observe it.

A story about prediction, collaboration, and what humanity can achieve when we work together.

With hostages home, the filmmaker behind ‘Torn’ says his documentary about NYC’s poster wars remains sadly relevant.
Hear more from Nim Shapira at a virtual screening on Thursday evening. https://t.co/jWAFWPbSeq

Some posters now say “HOME.” 24 still don’t. Spoke with @LisaRoznerTV on @CBSNewYork about coexistence — in Israel and Palestine, and right here in New York. Joy and grief can live side by side. That’s where healing begins. 🎥 Streaming now on https://t.co/ZICfpE0gAK

[Book and Film Globe @BookPlusFilm]

We review 'Torn,' Nim Shapira’s documentary about the posters that remember the hostage victims of terror.
We touch on grief, vandalism, and the groteque social media pressure to choose sides. https://t.co/PtWBe2RFVN #TornDoc #StreetArt #ProtestArt #EmpathyInPublic

@sneezyeezychees yes - starting today on https://t.co/ZICfpE0gAK - thank you

[Nim Shapira @nimshap]

Soon we will mark two years since this bloody war began. But this is not a film about the Middle East. TORN holds up a mirror to America today. TORN is now streaming nationwide. https://t.co/fkH7gjymTp
