For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

One person has died in Russia and the media's hair is on fire. So far this year, the DRC has reported 9000+ cases and 3700+ deaths from Ebola, a disease with an almost 50% mortality rate. The Trump has cut aid funding, while front line medical workers go unpaid. The media's response...crickets.

our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

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.

Such a depressing read about a man who got in way too deep betting on Kalshi—after voluntarily banning himself from sports betting apps—and how these prediction market apps are ruinous to people with an unhealthy relationship with gambling.

After bankruptcy, he was banned from sports betting sites. Then he discovered Kalshi
The dark side of the prediction market boom is becoming more clear: Experts say the sites have become go-to outlets for gambling addicts to relapse as the companies avoid state consumer protections.
