Menin got over $100K spent on her by Uber, $1,600 donation from Tony Argento, $1,000 from Randy Mastro, no response to questions about it:

Vickie Paladino's perspective is "We should do the Crusades again"
Menin says she'll work with Mamdani "on a shared agenda that makes New York more affordable."

GOP members backing Menin, tho, are likely to look to her to be a check on Mamdani. Vickie Paladino said she's with Menin because she "understands all perspectives." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/26/j...

The Adams Admin has largely failed to deliver on the promises announced in the 2023 "Charge Safe, Ride Safe" plan to solve the lithium-ion battery fire crisis. None of the promised permanent public infrastructure and very little private infrastructure has been built for outdoor e-bike charging.

I don’t know if I’m going to add it to my “inflection point” series, but the replies on Blakeman’s official Facebook page’s announcement about this are pretty uniformly critical of it and a nontrivial number of the critics are from the white guys with sunglasses crowd

One thing that stands out to me about this story and others like it is that no one will give a quote saying “we do not promote settlements in occupied territories, which violate international law”

Planning out infrastructure week with the Sound Blaster 16 I begged my dad to buy in 1993, AMA
As @simko-bednarski.bsky.social and I were discussing last week, it's not a great feeling that the country's economy is so tethered to sick graphics cards we all wanted to buy when we were like 12
I convinced my dad to buy a couple hundred dollars of 3dfx stock in like 1999 a year before they went bankrupt and the stock got delisted and I sometimes think about what my life would be like if I had instead convinced him to buy Nvidia stock

Zohran Mamdani has zero people named Dave Colon who are from Long Beach on his transition committees. This is outrageous and offensive to up to one dozen people in the city

Some professional news: I’m coming back to @cityandstateny.bsky.social as editor-in-chief.

I was a fan of C&S when I was a college student emailing to ask for an internship, and I’m still a fan today. Excited to take the helm heading into such a crucial and interesting time in NY politics.

“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30
In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

Going to New Orleans to collect a fake anti-Semitism award is the most boring possible reason you can go to New Orleans
Fresh back from a taxpayer-funded trip to Israel and Uzbekistan, Mayor Adams already has plans to visit New Orleans next week to get an award for “his leadership in fighting antisemitism" by a group that honored him for the same thing in Tel Aviv last week.

it's very fitting that in retrospect, Trump's failure to oust Jimmy Kimmel was the point that his administration turned. It's been all losses ever since

When I spoke to AM Novakhov at the Saada family funeral in March he did not support the Stop Super Speeders bill or speed cameras in general. Now, he has signed onto the bill, though it is watered down from its initial strength.
Speeding apologist Assembly Member Michael Novakhov has finally endorsed the "Stop Super Speeders" bill, prompted by the lenient sentencing of recidivist speeder Miriam Yarimi who killed a mother and two of her children.

Imagine being a 34 year old guy and being mayor of NYC and having the petty tyrant president trying to get on your good side in the Oval Office. Insane.
