Part of the time in the nude!!

It's not really summer until there's a new Dershowitz vs Martha's Vineyard story

It’s way past time for Mayor Adams to lift the NYPD bans on facial-ID tech New York City’s bans on facial-recognition tech have got to go. The charges that were dropped against against Zuhdi Ahmed prove that.

I bet he's talking about this NYP editorial and dont worry I'll be showing up nypost.com/2025/07/21/o...

Mandatory Reporting Is Destroying Families | American Civil Liberties Union Keeping kids safe is one of our greatest responsibilities as adults. But what if the main tool we use to protect children is actually preventing everyone from getting the resources they need? Every st...

this is a bad take, the legal privilege between priest and parishioner (not only in the catholic church) has a long history, and there is a lot of evidence mandatory reporting produces horrifically racist outcomes www.aclu.org/podcast/mand...

I'm gonna delete the initial post bc I don't need to be spreading misinformation however it is also not something I can bring myself to care about, I just wanted to make a little sov cit joke

ok so pacer was wrong (or rather hadn't yet been updated) but also lol storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

While this is fucked up, this is also the funniest local news video I've ever seen. "The ladies have been charged with 'writhing'" - Harry Boomer, 19NEWS

When police don’t have access to a tool they want to use, they phone a friend in an agency that does

NYPD Bypassed Facial Recognition Ban to ID Pro-Palestinian Student Protester Barred from using Clearview AI, NYC police relied on a marshal in the fire department to run a search that turned up photos of the student at his high school graduation.

FDNY helped NYPD identify a pro-Palestinian protestor using the facial recognition tech, Clearview AI — which the NYPD isn’t allowed to use. Manhattan DA used the ID to charge a hate crime.

A judge dismissed the case & warned about government surveillance:

NYPD Bypassed Facial Recognition Ban to ID Pro-Palestinian Student Protester Barred from using Clearview AI, NYC police relied on a marshal in the fire department to run a search that turned up photos of the student at his high school graduation.

“The way that the NYPD used FDNY to access broader and even more unreliable facial recognition technologies — in this case, to identify a protester — brings up questions about the NYPD following its own policies, the NYPD complying with the POST Act...” @shaneferro.bsky.social said.

Why is FDNY using Clearview AI to identify protesters? GREAT QUESTION and they won't tell me so we are suing to try to find the answer www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/18/n...

I was there on Sunday and literally shouted "Nobody came to see straight white men on the jumbotron!"

It was mine! It was so silly can't believe they played it

Let’s talk about Professor Jonathan Caravello, who teaches math and philosophy at CSU Channel Islands. He’s been detained by the feds based on events at a protest in Ventura County on Thursday.

JNCOs are back so it's not that surprising that skateboarding is criminal again

Ironically I think responding to my request would probably help Adams in his fervent desire to declare ebikes dangerous but tbh I don't quite remember the details since I wrote it 6 years ago

Mayor's office extended my 2019 FOIL request again, for something like the 28th time.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
can I get a commitment that a Mamdani admin will finally respond to my 6 year old FOIL about bike lane safety???

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right And blowing its credibility in the process.

The NYT's Zohran Mamdani hit piece crosses a line for me as a journalist. here's @lopatto.bsky.social's clear-eyed take on the genuine travesty of it all www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

Former Governor David Paterson Wants Anti-Mamdani Candidates to Unite, Then Sacrifice Themselves "This is, today, the beginning of a process. It is publicizing our wish to try to find the right candidate for the people of the city of New York. We'll have more later on."

An incredible assembly of:

—New York's most cartoonish billionaire
—New York's second-most corrupt former governor
—The reddest man in New York City

All trying, in public, to come up with a plan to thwart the overwhelming will of NYC voters.

Hell yeah! Delicious!

Tho even if they lose I did get to hear someone in the dusty corner of the store at Barclays say, "Why do all these things say Nets?"

"That's the men's team that also plays here"

So um how do you (successfully) deploy the military to the middle east while also telling them any kids born abroad are not US citizens?

based, let's have a zohran-cuomo-adams election

I refuse to look up if Bill Ackman actually proposed running for mayor or if people are just making fun of him but either way I am laughing

amazing q&a with paul krugman

Like many others have already said, I didn't think city owned grocery stores were a particularly good idea until everyone lost their minds about it and now I'm supportive and interested
