Climate Change Comes for Outdoor Gigs as Brooklyn Cancels Taj Mahal Show
- “We can’t … risk the well-being of our friends and neighbors who may have high-risk health issues,” organizers say
Citing “the unprecedented air-quality situation in New York,” Celebrate Brooklyn’s season-opening concert is canceled.
The June 7 show, which was to feature Taj Mahal, Corinne Bailey Rae and the Harlem Gospel Travelers, will not be rescheduled.
Blame Canada’s wildfires.
And climate change.
With smoke from the fires blanketing much of the United States, New York on June 7 had the world’s second-worst air quality, behind only Delhi in India, CBS News reported.
So the gig was scrapped.
“The health of our staff and the communities we serve is (our) No. 1 priority … and we can’t, in good conscience, risk the well-being of our friends and neighbors who may have high-risk health issues,” organizers said in a statement.

Farewell, O Captain! My Captain!
R.I.P. Andre Braugher (1962-2023)
He was a fantastic actor and so much more than his role on Brooklyn 99. I watched many of his movies and shows, but will most treasure and remember him fondly for bringing us gut-busting laughs and countless memes as Captain Holt.

Barbara Streisand with her older brother Sheldon and a friend in 1952.
At this time, she was a student at P.S. 89. At Erasmus Hall High School she joined the Freshman Chorus and Choral Club, which also included Neil Diamond. He recalled, “We were two poor kids in Brooklyn. We hung out in the front of Erasmus High and smoked cigarettes.”

@yasammyweek day 4: engagement/wedding!
Vaguely riffing off @toasterdrake’s engagement one in the fact I think they would get married as soon as they could after everything, so it would be just the camp fam and super lowkey (I do think they would eventually have a much bigger one with lots of family and traditions and stuff though)

it’s just like. how many captain holt lines of dialogue live rent free in my head? how many scenes have made me get emotional & watch & rewatch & ponder over them? it was such a big deal to have an openly gay black male character whose gayness was never the butt of the joke on tv in the early 2000s. then rosa diaz was literally the first character I ever recall hearing say the words “I’m bisexual” on a popular network tv show & captain holt’s compassionate support of her was this thing that just was just simply not often a thing portrayed quite how it was on b99 on television in my experience at the time among multiple lgbt main characters. not only that but I don’t want to reduce raymond holt’s influence to his sexuality. he was funny in a unique, dead pan way that again just totally manages to cement itself in so many peoples consciousness. how many people can hear “BONE?” bellowed in disapproval in their heads? 😂 or picture the pineapple slut shirt? & how many people with complicated relationships with their dad latched onto the jake & holt found family dynamic that was just so beautifully written & acted? brooklyn has constantly been on in the background of my life because it’s one of those shows you can just watch endlessly & never get tired of. hundreds & hundreds of hours of my life have been spent chuckling at this show. & I’m just one sit com fan. we’re talking about one of the most influential sit coms of the modern age. I hope andre had some idea how much he meant to so so many people.
