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.

In a troubling scene, NY Justice Carro’s CSOs just ejected a veteran court reporter for trying to challenge the sealing of footage in Luigi Mangione’s case. They shouted over her and threatened her with contempt as she tried to ID herself and object as a surrogate for the public.

We called the auditor.
He resigned in August.
That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
