Just when you think the Mets can’t possibly get any worse. WTF?!?

With the male justice set you get only the currently sitting justices. With the female set, you get the six female justices we’ve had in total.

E.B. White said we are the real New Yorkers because we chose to be here and stay here. I chose NYC in 1976.

Do take care, Tony. We need your voice.

Not entirely sure why birthparent privacy should be benefited, Tony. What matters here is what you and other adopted people, need and want.

Please take good care of yourself.

Not least because the Kingdom of Denmark, which includes Greenland, is part of NATO, as are we — in a manner of speaking.

Rental car agencies are gouging drivers and states should enact laws to stop them.

Please don’t abandon the written word. Some of us old folks prefer it to video.

Bret Stephens knows fuckall about the terrorists in Bondi Beach so he speculates his way into invoking “global jihad” as a way to smear Muslims generally and Mayor-Elect Mamdani in particular.

Tony, may God hold your adoptive father in the palm of his Her hand. May She give you and your family grace that helps ease all the complicated feelings that may arise. May you and your family be safe, may they be healthy, may they be happy and may they live and grieve with ease.

For goodness sake. I’d rather die of a terrorist attack in Brooklyn than live in Utah.

It was September 1967, flying to begin my freshman year at Santa Clara University. I was given a 5-cigarette pack with my meal. I split that pack with two other girls in my dorm. And I smoked for another 15.5 years.

I’ve been a long time fan of your transit reporting. It grieves me that you are a Yankees fan.

Hi, Gretchen, I am a birth mother who is deeply thankful for all you have done to shine a light on adoptees and birth mothers and fathers.

We birth mothers were also brainwashed to believe we didn’t have the right to search for the children we surrendered. This was not intended to protect us or our children. Secrecy was, and is, designed to protect adoptive parents and the adoption industry.

Nope. We were a post- war baby boom as returning service men and women began having (or adding to their) families.

During the Viet Nam War, National Guard troops fired live rounds at unarmed citizens at an anti-war protest at Kent State University.

I am old enough to remember an episode of the Marcus Welty tv show where the murdered nearly got a way with murdering his victim because he staged it as a driving accident, hitting him with his car.

Katie, this is a real loss at a particularly brutal time for us. Thank you for all you have done to keep us informed and well-armed. I will follow you wherever you go next! Shame on MSNBC!

Repealing the VPPP eliminates the only applicable exception to the law which prohibits using tolls on federal aid highways for transit. Repealing the VPPP means the end of NYC’s congestion pricing program (unless Congress also rescinds the law prohibiting the use of tolls for transit).

Question: not all cars entering Manhattan in the de congestion zone have E-ZPass tags. Do the results include data from the system’s license plate readers as well?

Absolutely shocking! I literally did not think this would ever happen. More fool me.

Oh, Tony, all of us should do all we can so that children have the chance to be who they are, not who we want them to be.

Or write her a condolence card. That is another way to show up for her.
