New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

I'm basically a single issue voter in the next presidential primary: whichever candidate will take court reform the most seriously. You won't be able to govern without it.
we are going to have to start writing laws with explicit addenda preemptively rebutting the most likely bad faith interpretations from future fedsoc hacks.

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.
For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously
1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying
2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying
both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.
Reporter: “Are you committed to releasing the full video?”
Trump: “Didn't I just tell you that?”
Reporter: “You said that it was up to Sec. Hegseth.”
Trump: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place…You are an obnoxious, actually a terrible reporter.”

Say the Thunder lose a game. (Roll with me here.)
Since the start of the last season, after that loss, OKC is *as likely to* lose the next game as they are to win the next 15 games.
And, uh, they are currently in line for the Nos. 5, 8 and 17 picks in the draft.

OKC needs to go 50-8 the rest of the way to tie GSW's regular season wins record. Seems like a tall order.
And yet: the Thunder are 52-6 in their last 58 games and have as many 15-game win streaks since the start of last season as they have 2-game losing streaks. www.teamziller.com/oklahoma-cit...
