Andrew Cuomo used ChatGPT to help write the housing plan he released this weekend, which included several nonsensical passages. The plan even cites to ChatGPT on a section about the Rent Guidelines Board.

Israel announced plans to seize more of Gaza’s territory. Unless forced to, Israel will not stop until the entirety of Gaza is exterminated.

And all of Israel’s allies know this.

If you rank a candidate in a ranked choice system—even if you rank them last—it is possible your vote could end up electing that candidate. If you don’t rank a particular candidate, your vote can never count toward electing them.
Is it limited choice ranked voting or something? Why not "Rank Cuomo and Adams last"?

I've given serious thought to the election for NYC Mayor and I cannot stress this enough, under no circumstances should you rank Andrew Cuomo and this is why. My new Olurinatti Production breaking down the rise, fall, and return of a corrupt governor

Trump and his cronies are so stupid and i hate these feckless companies "falling in line" for the dumbest things, let alone harmful stuff. FYI you can "Report an Issue" in Apple Maps to say the name is wrong. not sure about how to do similar in Google Maps variety.com/2025/digital...

We have to get out of the mindset that these people are going to follow the law. Yes that’s how it’s supposed to work, but we are entering a different paradigm. They believe they are the law, not subject to it
JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington says she's concerned that the White House is still implementing the spending freeze that she and a Rhode Island judge have ordered temporarily halted.

Judge AliKhan is inclined to issue a restraining order.

This isn't even the worst of it. #Vaccine exemption rates for kindergarteners increased in 41 of 50 jurisdictions with data last year - mostly nonmedical.

In Idaho, **14.3%** of kindergarten students had exemptions (!)

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.
Eric Adams's Budget Cuts Have Set Up New York City's Parks to Burn
By cutting the exact people meant to keep the city's parks free from fallen, dead trees and keep the forests healthy, the mayor has set up a tinderbox that's already igniting.

I'm glad congestion pricing is back on the table but Kathy Hochul is THE WORST. it shouldn't have ever been delayed and $15, let alone $9, is still cheaper than a single RT ticket from Atlantic Ave to Long Island on LIRR
NEW: Congestion pricing may just come back from the dead.

But with a major price change.

now more than ever, find joy, inspiration, and some peace by going to a museum. support the work they do to preserve art and culture, act as a record of truth, and preserve history. if you’re in NYC, I cannot recommend the the sienna exhibition at The Met enough
