Oh hello old friend
New York's Gun-Involved Violence Elimination initiative released shooting victimization data through February 2026. The drop in gun violence is continuing across these 20 agencies (NYPD doesn't participate). Also by far the fewest shooting victims ever recorded by GIVE in February (started in 2006).
Feels like they need to be more specific. To which hockey loss to the US in the gold medal game are they trying to avenge?

New podcast with Ian Adams! A must listen for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and policing!
Just realized that when the history of the US war with Iran is written they could just use this tweet.
"The US could also follow the French strategy from May 1940 and just sort of stand around until the war is resolved in a few weeks"

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
This website's misplaced priorities on the biggest story of today are why nobody respects Bluesky outside of our bubble.
This ends with the US giving up Guam in exchange for reopening the strait doesn't it

They should just make the whole country out of Aaron Judge
New this week: my best guess is that there were 14,000 murders in the US in 2025. I go through the math for the various ways we can get to that estimate. It's more exciting than it sounds!

How many murders were there last year? 14,000 down from about 17,575 in 2024, according to @jeffasher.bsky.social, a nationally-recognized crime analyst and co-founder of AH Datalytics. I'm obsessed with his crime analysis Substack.

Mickey having a great offseason so far (on top of last year's) just makes the 2022-2024 offseasons spent hanging on to the dying husk of Sean Payton's glory all the more painful.
Kinda wish they hadn't thrown away 3 years trying to hold on to Sean's magic...

The Saints punting has been an abject disaster every since they let Gilikin walk and I'm all for fixing it in free agency even if it's probably an overpay.

They should just break all the city's water mains at once so we have one giant Purge-like boil water advisory, they fix them, and then bam problem solved.
The year is 1980. The US is at conflict with Iran, gas prices have surged, and the US won the gold medal in hockey. Harrison Ford is a movie star.

The Pelicans have a -325 point differential without me present this season and are +20 with me present. And yet the team has done nothing to sign me to any sort of contract.
