The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

"I happen to continuously scrape Citibike data every minute." @riley.bsky.social discovers one of their side projects is suddenly potentially relevant to a murder.
I am fairly confident of where the United Healthcare assassin escaped to. He escaped on an electric Citibike, according to police. 

I happen to continuously scrape Citibike data every minute, so I can see where individual bikes go. 

The only northbound Citibike to leave within 10 minutes of the shooting from any dock near the hotel went to Madison Ave & E 82nd St.

Bike #421-6511 left the dock at 54 St & 6 Ave at 6:44 AM, and was docked at 6:52 AM at Madison Ave & 82nd St. This is the *only* bike that left within 10 minutes of the shooting and headed northbound.
"Investigators believe the gunman fled the scene on an electric Citi Bike, and by early afternoon, a group of police officials were gathered at a Citi Bike kiosk on Madison Avenue and 82nd Street on the Upper East Side. They were asking doormen and building superintendents nearby for video footage that may have captured the bike rack."
