The latest ICE arrest wave targets ppl with "withholding of removal," a status that means an immigration deemed they'd be in danger if deported to their home countries. The Trump admin is now pushing to deport them to third countries. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/05/t...

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

NO, NYC PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE NOT "FULLY FUNDED" despite what the influencers on social media are regurgitating. Our libraries remain UNDER-FUNDED. Library workers need to be paid MORE MONEY, we need more funds for collections, we need more funds for programming & for capital expenses.

Oct 3rd - It’s October 3rd. Happy #MeanGirlsDay 📽️📅 Mean Girls (2004)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Mean Girls" (2004): First, a classroom setting with a young woman with long red hair talking to a young man in a brown shirt and blue t-shirt, both sitting at desks with open books. Subtitles read, "On October third, he asked me what day it was." Second, the same students are seen from a slightly different angle; the young woman smiles slightly as she responds. Subtitles read, "It's October third."

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples
