If you live in the city, maybe start booking vacations and get aways for June/July. The worst people in the world are going to descend on our city to make impossible for anyone to enjoy it.

Seattle pitching through 9. I've never seen anything like this.

Highest slider rate (sweepers inc.) in a postseason game since 2008: Seattle in 2022, ALWC g2, 50%

Hizzoner delivers a pretty remarkable broadside against the press, claiming it was responsible for killing his reelection after a subway crime press conference, singling out reporters. We chased him out of the station.

Miller should probably try resting his injury while the games don't matter.

JT Miller got knocked down, fell on his back, got up slowly, a little hunched over, and skated to the bench, looking uncomfortable.

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

By firing them, you ensure they will continue not to show up because you've fired them, and you can't hire new ones during a government shutdown. I'm very smrt.

The Advantage program was a lifeline for New Yorkers like Kasha, a working mom struggling to get out of a shelter and into stable housing.

But when then-Gov. Cuomo slashed funding, homelessness surged.

These are political choices. We can choose differently.

there are so many things a New York City mayor doesn't really have power to do (funding service expansions of any pretty much any sort) but Zohran keeps finding spaces where a mayor really can make a big difference by determining policies and priorities for City Hall
