People outside NYC, especially those who don't live in very large cities, often can't comprehend the scale of the subway ridership

4 and a half MILLION rides in one day is a lot of people

and almost every single one of them got where they were going without incident and went on their way

Who has he been partnered with?

...Holy shit

Give him some quality wingers and you might have a decent, defensively responsible 3C. Give him what he's had so far and, well, this is what you get.

Noah Laba's early season results seem to be what you might expect from a rookie center in a bit over his head with no real support.

MLB @MLB • 5m Shota Imanaga has reportedly become a free agent after the Cubs have declined to exercise the team's option and he has declined his player option, per multiple reports including MLB's Jordan Bastian.

Three days into the postseason, and good teams actively trying to get worse to save money, but somehow the Dodgers are the problem

I'd also be intrigued by Bo Bichette if the Mets move off of Jeff McNeil but that seems like a lateral but younger move.

Man it's so funny to think that Eric Adams would be absolutely coasting to victory today if he wasn't Like That

Shota Imanaga just shot up to the top of my UFA list for the Mets.

Right now it's Imanaga, Munetaka Murakami, and Kyle Tucker.

And it begins...Hell Gate's Election Day live blog is here!

Our first dispatch is from a polling site in a corner of Flatbush that Andrew Cuomo won during the primary. Are voters feeling Cuomo-mentum? Well:

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Having good staff is actually the most important part of the job of Mayor of New York. Feel free to read about Cuomo's while you're at it! nymag.com/intelligence... bsky.app/profile/sage...

Today we elect the first mayor who has absolutely cyberbullied a past mayor. He understands the risks.

A New York for Us The possibility of a mayor for people like me and you

I believe in Zohran Mamdani not because of his policies, or his promise as a politician, but because he’s someone who experiences the city like I do and loves it for what it is. A little Election Day writing:

Because Andrew Cuomo is trying to exploit the “Real” New Yorker/Transplant dichotomy like all of the worst people in the city, I also addressed that

"Hunt: If he does run the city as a communist, are you going to have any regrets? Sliwa: Why should I have regrets? I trust people. People are going to make the choice. I'll live with the choice. I'd like them to choose me. But if perchance I lose on November 4th, I will improve, not move. I was born in this city. I was almost killed in this city. I'll die in this city. I'll be buried in this city."

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

Huh, Dick Cheney finally died. Good riddance to bad garbage.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Your average Subway 6-inch has an effective range of about 15 feet, making it best for CQC or a sidearm (side-sub?). For increased range and stopping power, you're going to want something baguette-based, like a Croque Monsieur.

Social Media thrives on sports engagement

Bluesky: it’s for sports

Oh hell yeah, we're at the "Staten Island threatens to secede" portion of an mayoral race.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

I know it's all blubbering nonsense but I'm pretty sure states don't enforce tariffs against each other because...the Commerce Clause exists?

Holy crap, Arthur. Also, completely unsurprised the NHL ignored this.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
