3I/ATLAS is behaving just as a comet should. No shenanigans. Looking forward to the possibility of JUICE (a European spacecraft heading eventually to Jupiter) observing this object in the coming weeks!

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

He did not like that I was packing my suitcase!

Cute corgi with a Halloween costume that makes it look like a human is riding him like a horse

Going to Ohio to see my niblings for Halloween, but neighbor dog Windsor stopped by to trick or treat early 🤗😍

Someone please primary Kathy

and if you’d like to really fight back against the people supporting cuomo—the billionaires, trump, conservadems—you should join the democratic socialists of America TODAY: act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

I cannot put into words how disastrous Mayor Cuomo would be. Just the worst possible combination of political traits and policy ignorance.

Exactly the opposite of what New Yorkers need right now. If, as a sitting US Senator, you can’t open your mouth publicly without shoving your own foot in it, you need to be replaced.

As an academic, I have a rule: always side with students. It sounds trite but applying it in this instance: (1) bravo to the UG student who spoke truth to power, (2) congrats to the Cornell Sun, student newspapers are one of the loudest voices against fascism, (3) let’s send Melissa & Andrew packing

CUNY receives funding from the state and city. I already early voted for the guy who is not going to screw already chronically under-funded CUNY over.

Yep

underrated aspect of the whole "we must chase polls" discussion is that such people, almost by definition, will be cringing and timid

Interesting but extremely unethical

cool cool cool cool cool

Wow!

Three people familiar with the situation told Semafor that Hurley reached out to an email address the reporter believed belonged to the former mayor of New York. It's unclear where he got the address, or who it actually belongs to. In a state nent shared with outlets including Semafor, a News UK spokesperson blamed the debacle on whoever that email address belongs to, saying the paper had "apologised to Bill de Biasio and removed the article immediately after discovering that our reporter had been misled by an individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor."

Part of the push came from the top. As the New York mayor's race approaches, The Times of London has accelerated its push for more, and largely hostile, coverage of Mamdani. That campaign has been driven internally by Margi Conklin, a New York Post veteran who was most recently managing editor at The Free Press, and who assigned the de Blasio piece, per two people with knowledge of the situation.

This colossal Times of London/de Blasio screwup gets more amazing at every turn.

Is this man trying to get his approval rating down to 0%? Is he trying to win a bet?

If AI were really that great and could increase productivity, we should be talking about establishing a UBI, not giving more tax cuts to rich jerks.

No Manhattan

Goodness gracious - part 2

Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

When I see a Cuomo ad (non-stop on TV rn), I think ew stay away from me

Mamdani's policies are very popular and mostly pretty good for US

Trump's policies are extremely unpopular and will cause untold suffering & death

Yet, Media & Political Elite tells US Mamdani is extreme and Trump is mainstream?

More creepy weirdos with no experience running the news please!!

Good evening from Queens.
