Lessee. DMN since Wednesday has had two thumb drives full of emails sent among Dallas city manager, city council members, and Mavericks brass. So Monday’s story about tearing down City Hall should be huge! There will be a story Monday, right?

The illegal things they’re doing are appalling. The soulless atrocities like these videos areβ€”well, I don’t have a single word. Historically evil. He’s in league now w Hitler, Stalin, name the rest. This is America. Unless we can change it.

Have you seen the video of a certain billionaire’s son getting punched in the face during a basketball game? Not a single teammate comes to his defense. Telling.

I have learned so much from reading Matt's writing over the years. His curiosity about life comes through in every piece. He has an amazing bank of knowledge to draw on and the loss of that is immeasurable for NY Mag/Vulture. Please support mzs.press

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

It’s time for FIFA to do the honorable thing w Trump’s Peace Prize and upgrade it to a Peacewrap Prize Supreme. That’s where you take the original Peace Prize, wrap it w a larger Peace Prize whose crust has been stuffed w mini Peace Prizes, then fry the whole thing in the rendered fat of children.

The Big Deal You Don’t Know About City Hall After yesterday's marathon meeting, we had some questions about the City Hall discussion. Then we found out this.

The emails revealed that there have been secret site visits underway for a while, with a quorum-avoiding number of hand-picked council members touring potential new sites for City Hall.

Ah! I see. So this is a wonderfully sick burn, as I'd hoped.

Hang on. I thought an Italian designer cooked that up. You saying @oowm.org engaged the designer to create it? Or what? I want to understand!

Hold my hand through this. So an Italian graphic designer cooked this up and that designer was clever enough subtly mock our region's public transit? Please tell me I've understood this correctly, because that's amazing.

We are still waiting for the city to give us the material that was responsive to our request. The material we've already paid for.

The $55 Million Mistake and the Woman Who Made It Mary Suhm was the Dallas city manager who got us into a lawsuit over drilling.

Remember when Dallas city manager Mary Suhm did a secret deal to let a company drill for gas in a park and that led to a $55 million lawsuit?

I know who writes it. It’s not astroturf. BTW, I saw two copy editing mistakes in the latest post.

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.

Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.

Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.

Analysis of crash data shows that you're 17 times more likely to die in a vehicle fire if you buy Elon Musk's Tesla Cyber truck than if you had bought a Ford Pinto, the 1970s era car infamous for gas tank explosions in rear end collisions.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
