Last night I was unlocking my bike outside the bar and a guy asked “do you have a light?” And I said “sorry I don’t smoke” and he handed me this tiny bike headlight

on the phone with the insurance company trying to figure out what the $286,349 charge on my bill that's coded "HPKB" is, and finally the fifth person i'm transferred to informs me it's for "horse playing keyboard"

Met someone at the bar in Brooklyn for the first time and unimpressed by it. She’s from the Finger Lakes and tells me there’s more paddling there. Better sunsets too

College students getting free ChatGPT essays might be as temporary as when millennials got $5 Uber rides 10 years ago.

The New Yorker hasn't done a single cover on the carnage in Gaza. The Atlantic, either. The Times editorial board editorialized on Gaza once in the last 15 months, in January--nothing on the food blockade.

The NYC Charter Revision Commission’s new report includes proposals to fast track new affordable housing, and to create a new public review process in the areas with the least new housing being built. NYC’s next mayor would have a lot more power to tackle the housing crisis…

Preventing medical trauma by giving kids a different, extremely improbable trauma instead

Twitter was launched 19 years ago. What is your favorite tweet ever?

Is this the most Park Slope sign in Park Slope?

Needless to say, Grand Jury Testimony is not the whole shebang

"It was Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein’s family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump." (gift link) wsj.com/politics/trump…

They did this plot device in Ocean’s 12 and I’m furious to this day (Julia Roberts plays Tess Ocean who impersonates Julia Roberts)

She walked out of her immigration hearing smiling — papers in hand, standing tall. She had no idea the man waiting in the hallway was ICE. No idea she was about to be detained. This is happening inside NYC’s immigration courts. Every day. #ICE

There are public servants who love their job. And then there is Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Martin Maher, who loves his job so much he invites strangers to talk to him about it.

Fun endorsement tracker from @CityAndStateNY: Walden is backed by an ousted former District Attorney. Adams is backed by ousted politician George Santos. Cuomo is backed by no one.

I talked to News 12 about NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino's gross & dangerous lies about me — regarding the murder of my late boyfriend, Ryan Thoresen Carson — as part of her ongoing disinformation & intimidation campaign against @ZohranKMamdani & countless other New Yorkers.

Is he aware the last phase is acceptance?

For years, @VickieforNYC has disgraced the City Council. She compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust. She called LGBTQ people “groomers.” Now she’s slandered the partner of a murder victim. @NYCSpeakerAdams needs to expel her. 🚮 Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/letters/expel-…

Guess I haven’t opened this book since 2017

Cuomo is only able to stay on the ballot because NY is one of just two states that doesn’t have a sore loser law banning this. (The other is Connecticut.)

Polymarket should take bets on how many thousands of words @BillAckman is going to write about this.
