Modest proposal to fix NBA games: instead of the same old terrible post game interviews with players (“we just executed”), interview family members. Don’t you want to know what Jokic’s older brother thinks about the officiating?! He cannot be fined! #nba #playoffs

Bottled *just* around the last time the Knicks were in the Eastern Conferenxe Finals. Just a coincidence. No jinxes.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city. Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

Dear USG, Sorry to hear that you accidentally turned in a preliminary draft of your letter. Unfortunately, now that a grade has been submitted, we cannot accept a revised version, and the original grade must stand. I hope this will serve as a reminder to double check your work before submitting it.

I was in a Head Start daycare as a child, as my (single) mom couldn’t afford to pay for care for me so she could work the job she needed to care for us. It’s despicable that, in a country that already does so little for children & families, Trump is taking away one bright light.

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

80+% of both Democrats and Republicans believe America would be better off if more Americans worked in manufacturing, but < 30% say that about themselves.
