The corporate media are failing to cover Trump’s anti-democratic movement as the crisis it is. Read the guidelines, then sign the letter. Also read the Sullivan piece @nancylevinestearns.bsky.social linked. It’s worth your time.

It was an honor to attend Friday prayers at Beit El Maqdis Islamic Center with Palestinian New Yorkers today. Like an olive tree, their roots run deep in our city, stretching back more than a century and growing through every generation that has made Bay Ridge home.

… which I’ve wondered about. I’ve gotten all the Covid vaccines and all the boosters. The clot came out of nowhere. Total shock. Is it possible that could be a side effect of a mild case of Covid?

When I was 60, in 2021, I developed a clot in my left leg that required an angioplasty. The vascular doctor wasn’t interested in discussing root causes beyond “smoking, diabetes, smoking,” all negative. I have meant knowingly had Covid but I did have what a 2-week cold right before lockdown. 👉🏻

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

A composite image juxtaposing two pictures. On the left is a black-and-white historical photograph of Adolf Hitler standing before a large gathering, his right arm raised straight out in a Nazi salute, with rows of uniformed men and civilians in the street and courtyard around him returning the salute. On the right, cut out in color and overlaid on top of the historical scene, is Elon Musk in a dark suit and white shirt, standing at a lectern bearing the presidential-style seal and a banner reading "AMERICAN..." and "INAUGURATION," with a blue backdrop of white stars behind him. His right arm is extended upward and outward at the same angle as Hitler's, palm down, his head tilted and mouth open. The two figures are placed side by side so their outstretched arms mirror one another, presenting a visual parallel between Musk's gesture and the Nazi salute.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

I asked Claude. Claude does not have a "vinyl mode."
Screenshot of a Claude chat conversation. The user's message, in a grey bubble at top right, reads "what is claude vinyl mode?" Below it, a line reads "Searched the web — Claude "vinyl mode"" with an arrow.

The reply states: "It's not a real feature. "Vinyl Mode" comes from a viral social media post, not from Anthropic."

Next paragraph: "The post comes from an AI newsletter account on Threads. It claims Claude has a feature called Vinyl Mode that you can use to start a record collection, like a record-shop owner who won't gatekeep. But the "unlock" step is just a normal prompt you paste in. It asks Claude to act as a vinyl expert with no snobbery, then fills in the music you love, your budget, and that you're new to collecting. The later prompts cover 10 records worth owning, what turntable setup you need, and how to find records cheap without getting ripped off." This is followed by an inline citation chip with a red siren emoji reading "BREAKING: Claude has a…".

Next paragraph: "So nothing gets switched on. It's a role-play prompt with a catchy name. The "🚨 BREAKING: Claude has a feature called X Mode" format is a common engagement-bait template, and the account uses it to promote its daily email list. Claude has real modes, like voice mode and extended thinking, but Vinyl Mode isn't one of them."

Then: "The prompts themselves are fine. You'll get the same result by asking Claude directly for vinyl recommendations based on what you listen to."

Under "Sources:" a bulleted blue hyperlink reads "Zephyr HQ on Threads — "Vinyl Mode" post". At the bottom are message action icons (copy, read aloud, thumbs up, thumbs down, retry) and the timestamp "1 minute ago".

One of the main reasons fraternities still exist is that membership signals to potential employers that you’re capable of keeping institutional secrets, even when it means covering up illegal behavior.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
