One regulator with which Erebor's team boasted "unique connectivity" was Jonathan Gould, the new head of the OCC.
Adam Cohen, the lawyer who signed Erebor's application on June 11, joined OCC as its chief counsel a few weeks later.

This is what I initially thought, but on further review, I think Veena is right. Course evals with "reports of antisemitism" are shared with OECR and OECR must share a spreadsheet with every investigation, including details of the "report" that started it, with either OCR.

nyc mayoral election in a nutshell
I have been a little mystified as to why NYC mayoral candidates are being asked about closing Rikers and plans for boro-based jails as though they have significant room to maneuver. The Brooklyn jail isn’t just a hole in the ground any more.

Riley interviewed for DOGE in early January and apparently was being onboarded as a "special government employee" 11 days later
His public calendar also included email addresses of other people who have been reported to be part of DOGE — plus someone who hasn't

I was really annoyed to see Anderson Cooper broadcasting from the fires on CNN with an N95 around his chin. We know what you look like, Anderson. Put it on! That smoke is actually really dangerous:

I can’t believe NYT Spelling Bee takes PA7 and PA8 but still doesn’t take NAPHTHA.
In the past 120 years of published English text, it was a much more common word, Google’s Ngram Viewer shows.

They named an on-record source and posted video of their interaction with him and linked to his LinkedIn profile. You can be skeptical of the outlet, but how is this specifically “bad journalism?”

Avoiding car ownership is a great way to partly opt out of inflation. It's also a great way to opt in to your neighborhood. You'll notice aspects of urban life that you missed before.

It is absolutely insane to me that a guy gets shot in midtown Manhattan and these are the best images we have five hours later.
When Donald Trump said he could get away with shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, maybe he was talking about the abysmal surveillance network.

Divide $14.2 million by the $32 increase and you get 443,750 juror-days. It hints at the sharp drop in jury service that has lingered since the pandemic; in 2005, 564K New Yorkers served on a jury; in 2019, 452K showed up. Last year? 383K.

These civilian inspectors? This is a different issue, I know, and if you want to drop it, I get it, but I think there are a lot of issues with relying on humans who make up rules in the exercise of “discretion” instead of machines. This kind of thing happens a lot in NYC.
![Snippet from NY Post article saying: “[One rider] came on the bus and he didn’t pay,” they said. “We told him he had to pay. He said, ‘I am not paying, get the f–k out of here.’ I asked him, ‘How old are you?’ He said, ‘Old enough.’
“We told him to get off the bus,” the inspector said. “I asked him his age because if he was over 65 you can use your discretion. If we see someone wearing a uniform like they are going to work, we can use our discretion ad let them on.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u742rs4tcpj3p23qz3gkata7/bafkreiauntds7q3fki2upu7kd56qby4kpir46u5mxmlxujqkv2hxsnduje@jpeg)
