If Minnesota governor Tim Walz became vice president, it would make history, but in a way people might not be thinking about. Lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan would become the first Native woman to hold the office of governor in the history of the United States.

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.

I wrote about two great books, two great American cities that produced two musical geniuses, and how a unique sense of timing can change the world.

My personal history with VICE goes back to 2006 when I worked with them on the Screwed In Houston documentary but it was the opportunities over the years to do stuff like this that will make me really miss the platform:

i spoke to @lanceswalker about his brilliant new DJ Screw book. Screw is someone I consider a genius, so doing this as my first ever book review was a privilege. @okayplayer dot com okayplayer.com/originals/dj-…

Last year, Lance Scott Walker released “DJ Screw: A Life in Slow Revolution”: a worthwhile biography and oral history, even for those who already know the story of Screw's short, impactful life.
