@AllOfItWNYC @NYMag @jerrysaltz @hyperallergic @rheanayyar @dilisciavalen @Sarah_Smarsh @WNYC Wonderful show, as always! The political maps showing red and blue states began during the Ford-Carter election of 1976 -- but Democrats were red and Republicans were blue! (at least in this NBC graphic)

@BrianLehrer a report on the BBC today quoted a New York bird expert as saying that Flaco died not because he hit a building, since there was no head injury, but that Flaco may have been ill, and fell from a ledge instead to the ground.

“I eat the same thing everyday. Habit in a daily routine, when there’s some sort of order, you’re free to mentally go off anyplace. There's a safe foundation to spring off from. The purer the environment, the more fantastic the interior world can be.” ~ David Lynch #creativity

"Make sure you write every day. If you do it everyday, there's less pressure today. You know you did it yesterday, you know you're going to do it tomorrow. It takes the pressure off and makes people write better." ~ @_MonaSimpson on @AllOfItWNYC with @alisonstewart #creativity
