Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

I wonder if this would be treated so cutesy if it were about a male senator and their son

Damn, this Rosalia album actually is perfect. The drama we need.

Russian speakers arise. What is a “ya-ed apple”?
I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

Just inadvertently walked by the Curtis Sliwa watch party, up here on the UWS at Arte Cafe. Already a rather impressive array of brightly colored suits (powder blue seems particularly popular)

Regular reminder that the best work covering this city is done by local outlets - @wnyc.org @thecity.nyc @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social @hellgatenyc.com and others. You don’t have to rely tonight on the newspaper you are constantly annoyed at!

The uncertainties of Election Day in America will never not thrill me. Eight years in Russia really does something to a person!

A great day for New York, a city for everyone, except: people who don’t take their backpacks off on the subway, tourists and families who walk down the street in a horizontal line, people who stop in the middle of the street to look at their phones, you guys unfortunately have to go
