I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

All I’ll say is we didn’t have a winter like this for all of Bill de Blasio's eight years since he put the fear of FUCKING GOD into the groundhogs.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Please everyone watch The Testament of Ann Lee, which was completely and undeservedly overlooked this December.

Ruined plans, disappointment, and hours wasted.πŸ‘‰ Moral of the story:Social Media and AI are powerful tools, but also very dangerous if used without real local knowledge.Always double-check sources.Always trust people who are actually on the ground in NYC.This is exactly why we share real, live, verified content from New York, every single day.No hype.

Can’t stop watching videos of the people who went out in 20 degrees to watch non existent fireworks at the Brooklyn Bridge that can be traced to one possibly AI Time Out post.

Send help. The 9 year old is going through his clothes to see what fits and so many of his sweatshirts are size 6-7.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

It was really lovely to see how pleased and slightly bemused she was by her recent TikTok fame. I'm happy she had that moment.
