"Breathe in crisp, cold, clean city air, free of exhaust. Look around. For a few hours on Monday, there was no litter, no grime. The cityscape was transformed and reshaped into a silent, mythical, semi-deserted ice planet. You could stand in the middle of the street and simply watch the snow fall."

18 Days, 20 Lives: New Yorkers Who Didn’t Survive the Cold (Gift Article) Freezing days and nights claimed the lives of a grandmother, a dancer, a dispatcher and a man who lived among a colony of feral cats.

"The next weeks were the coldest stretch that New York City had seen in years. Despite an increasingly frantic campaign by the fledgling administration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani to persuade people to shelter indoors, frozen bodies kept turning up across the city."

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

We tested those gross piles of snow on NYC's sidewalks. Here’s what we found. The snow may not be as toxic as it looks. You still shouldn’t eat it.

“A lab analysis showed relatively high levels of lead and Enterococcus, a common bacteria in the feces of warm-blooded animals.”

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

I walk dogs on the UES. I needed this story. I thought it was just my own depression but alas everyone can see and feel the city’s filth.
