Borough President-in-waiting Eric Adams opens up about credit, dogs, race relations and, of course, Marty Markowitz State Sen. Eric Adams ran unopposed for borough president, which is either an indication that the office is so unimportant that no one wanted it or Adams is such a political heavyweight that no one…

As Eric Adams bows out of his re-election bid, it’s worth remembering a column that totally holds up. All the weirdness is here. "Think about it: If a German Shepherd and a poodle can get along than an African-American and an Asian can get along," he told me: www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bro...

I'm not live-skeeting the Mets game, but Pete Alonso is amazing. I don’t know why Steve Cohen hasn't already driven a Brink's truck up to his apartment and told Pete to just unload whatever he needs.

We spent nine months examining how and why the neediest and sickest New Yorkers fall thru the city’s expansive safety net. Reupping our project for the weekend folks =>

This past weekend Londoners got a glimpse of the future of Oxford Street as it went traffic-free for the day.

Here’s what they thought ⬇️

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away.

On the subway and so I’m compelled to bully you to read a big piece about the subways and how our social policy failures have ended up there.

cc: @galeabrewer.bsky.social we'll see if DOT adds markings within the legally required 5 days after repaving.
