Just think, 250 years on, what the founders would see if they visited us today.

Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades. Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnj-2yfL13U

This is what ChatGPT thinks I do 🤣 "Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me." It’s fair.

So if you see conflicting numbers in coverage today—now you know why. 350 years of mayors, misnumbered because of a 17th-century Dutch invasion. Welcome to urban political history!

Even at today's inauguration, Adams' seat card reads "110th Mayor"—the old count. The correction hasn't fully trickled down yet. x.com/C_Sommerfeld...

Adding to the confusion: here's the NYC Green Book from the Dept. of Citywide Administrative Services—still listing Adams as 110th. This document has perpetuated the miscount since 1921. Interested to see when/how this page is updated. www.nyc.gov/site/dcas/ab...

That second term got left out of official records. The error was baked in when NYC started publishing numbered mayor lists in the Green Book in 1921. Historians actually caught this as early as 1989, but nobody corrected it. gothamist.com/news/miscoun...

Miscount of NYC mayors spans centuries, archive search confirms

An official document from 1674 confirms that Zohran Mamdani should be sworn in as the 112th mayor, not the 111th.

The confusion traces to Matthias Nicolls (mayor 1671-72). In 1673, the Dutch retook NYC and replaced mayors with "burgomasters." When England regained control in 1674, Nicolls was reappointed—making him both the 6th AND 8th mayor. www.fox5ny.com/news/mamdani...

Here's why Mamdani will be NYC’s 112th mayor, not the 111th

The discrepancy stems from a centuries-old record-keeping error involving a 17th-century mayor whose second, nonconsecutive term was overlooked.

I watched @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social inauguration as New York City's next mayor. But is he the 111th or 112th? Here's the backstory 🧵

We encourage researchers that use regression discontinuity designs to start providing descriptive statistics on their sample and explain how it differs from their nominal sample or the target population. Link to the poster here: bryantjmoy.com/s/asianpolme...
