Anne Frank would have turned 92 today. If the United States had approved her father’s visa application, she could be an old lady in Brooklyn, celebrating with her family and showing her great-grandkids the diary that told the story of how she got here.

There’s a dude at the Williamsburg Equinox wearing an Oculus and having a full-blow lightsaber dual on the treadmill. Seems fine
