I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

All I’ll say is we didn’t have a winter like this for all of Bill de Blasio's eight years since he put the fear of FUCKING GOD into the groundhogs.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Can’t stop watching videos of the people who went out in 20 degrees to watch non existent fireworks at the Brooklyn Bridge that can be traced to one possibly AI Time Out post.

⚠️ PLEASE READ ⚠️ Last night, thousands of people went to DUMBO & the Brooklyn Bridge expecting New Year’s Eve fireworks 🎆 They waited for hours in the cold… and nothing happened.Why?Because in the past few days, social media pages and AI-generated posts shared videos of fireworks at the Brooklyn Bridge, claiming they were for NYE.Those videos were actually from July 4th (Independence Day) ❌Many of those pages are run by people who don’t live in NYC and have never experienced New Year’s Eve here.The result? Ruined plans, disappointment, and hours wasted.👉 Moral of the story:Social Media and AI are powerful tools, but also very dangerous if used without real local knowledge.Always double-check sources.Always trust people who are actually on the ground in NYC.This is exactly why we share real, live, verified content from New York, every single day.No hype. No fake promises. Just reality.If you’re planning a trip to NYC, be careful who you trust.Paradise can quickly turn into a nightmare.Follow @MyChristmasinNewYorkCity for real NYC updates, not viral fiction 🎄✨🎥 Ananda Andrzejewska #dumbo #brooklynbridge #fireworks #newyork #nyc

Can someone tell the folks at Kérastase this?
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

Mamdani: "I have purchased marijuana."
Cuomo: No.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

Breaking news: President Trump is expected to rename the Defense Department to the Department of War through an executive order, a move that the administration has said more accurately reflects the mission of the men and women serving in uniform today.
Trump to rename Defense Department to War Department
Trump is expected to sign an executive order Friday, though it is unclear if he can permanently change the agency’s title without legislation from Congress.
