This short story collection introduces the writer John O’Hara by mentioning his epitaph: “He told the truth about his time. He wrote honestly and well.”
Turns out the epitaph actually starts “Better than anyone else,” and he wrote it himself

If you’re going to blame Zohran for the temperature staying below freezing all week, you might as well go all in. Why isn’t he also improving the humidity out?

How did Eric Adams add MORE levels of scammery here?
the plot thickens: “Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed tech entrepreneur, Eddie Cullen, reached out to THE CITY to say he was shocked about Adams’ announcement, claiming that he’d pitched the idea to the then-Mayor last summer and even trademarked its name NYCToken.”

🚨 Lydia is running for Assembly in a district that voted for Zohran by 74-26 in the primary… without the incumbent’s endorsement
My name is Lydia Green. I’m a leftist organizer, Democratic District Leader, & queer Jewish NYer. And I’m running to represent district 52 in the NYS Assembly. Brooklyn is my home, and I believe it should be a livable home for all.
