Hey Karen, I hope this post finally made up for how much you hate yourself and other women. You’re a sexist loser harassing women over their clothes and oggling their cleavage. Fox News might be more your speed

The NYC Law Department could boost the number of attorneys or create a unit to reduce frivolous lawsuits under proposals from mayoral candidates

But while Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa had some proposals for the critical municipal agency, Andrew Cuomo offered no plans for the department at all

Opinion | Mamdani’s Success or Failure Would Mean a Lot. So How Would He Govern?

Zohran Mamdani likes staff to meet in-person, constantly pushing them for new ideas. He appears to need little sleep. And he’s talking to scores of officials who worked for previous mayors about how to manage City Hall.

You can literally zoom in and see an exact location, though it’s unclear to me how accurate it is or when the geo tag is logged…but still.

A new Instagram feature allows users to track locations of people they follow, which for me includes @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. This seems incredibly dangerous??

I will never not hate this bit. There’s a lot of disabled people who can’t leave the house when it’s this hot and climate change makes it worse 😒

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Opinion | Cuomo’s Candidacy Is a Symptom of a Bigger Democratic Problem

this is the kind of smoke New York City politics needs (and will be sorely missed on the New York Times editorial board, especially now)

Why does this matter? Because the editorial is saying a candidate does something effectively that he, in fact, does not actually do as a comptroller.

This is why the editorial board should include and uplift writers who actually know how New York City government works.

A screenshot of an email from the NYT opinion copy chief responding to a note that NYC comptroller is not a “manager” of the city budget. The copy chief says the editor and fact checker stand by their incorrect assessment.

The responsibilities of the NYC comptroller which include oversight over and NOT management of the city budget.

I pointed out that the NYT editorial incorrectly says Brad Lander, as a comptroller, is a “manager” of the city budget

He may be a watchdog, but he’s not a manager of the budget. The OMB and mayor are. Here’s how the Times responded and here’s what the comptroller’s duties actually are.

This editorial also incorrectly says that the comptroller "has also proved to be an effective manager of the city’s sprawling budget office."

The comptroller doesn’t manage the city budget! Mayor Eric Adams and the city OMB does

…nyc recently had a massive drought and ai uses tons of water and energy. none of the nyc candidates for mayor mentioned this or the fact that ai is likely to wipe out thousands of white collar entry level jobs, many in nyc

“we need to make crime illegal” whew the nyc mayoral debate

Conservative superlawyer Paul Clement joins yet another case challenging the Trump administration. This time he's representing Judge Hannah Dugan, who was was arrested after the FBI said she tried to shield an illegal immigrant from arrest.

I'm not saying the news wire photographers kept intentionally lining Trump's head up with the Easter Bunny's ears, but they were absolutely doing that
