This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

Considering that IMAN (4) is also in this picture, the concentrated crossword power on display here is overwhelming. Blinding. Nuclear. ☢️

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

One of the most embarrassing days for this Red Storm program in a long time. Johnnies blow a 13-point lead and melt down at the end for what will be a Quad 3 loss, as Friars fans take over MSG.

Gives me the warm fuzzies to see at least one more photo of a NYC mayor reading the Daily News. I worry there won’t be too many more.
Mayor Mamdani hasn't moved into Gracie Mansion yet and remains in his Astoria apartment for now, his team says. He expects to move at some point before his lease is up Jan. 30.
His team also shares this pic of him taking the W train to City Hall this morning from Astoria.

One of my favorite little books is Paris versus NY - a clever set of graphics by Vahram Muratyan juxtaposing two cities I love.
RIP to this one, as both the paper Metro ticket and the plastic Metrocard die for good tomorrow.

Opinion | The Way to Pay for Free Buses Is to End Free Parking
Free buses would be transformative not only for riders, but for the ecosystem of the city as a whole.

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.
