Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

Decades ago, when I worked for the King (Burger King), I learned two things that have stuck with me: 1. Don't put lettuce in a deep fryer 2. If you have time to lean, you have time to clean That second one pops into my head every morning while I'm waiting for my coffee to brew. 🙄

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Everything is awful, the grocery store is wildly expensive, and I don't know how we'll afford home heating oil this winter, but there is still joy & beauty in the world. A few hours at the arboretum, and a trip to a local florist brought me a bit of #joy. ❤️

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

1/ Pennsylvania has now reported a fourth measles-associated death in 2026. That’s the most measles deaths the U.S. has seen in a single year since 1992. The first two were infants, followed by a 40 year old woman, and now an 18 year old. The state has reported 693 confirmed cases so far this year.

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵

Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

Latest reads (still reading The Calamity Club). I found Theo of Golden a good story, but too preachy for me. Some of the characters were written as stereotypes, which was also quite uncomfortable. The Grown up was good; I'm not usually a short story reader, but I enjoyed the quick read #booksky

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."

This week's reading. The Change was amazing! Absolutely loved it. If We Were Villains - well-written, the characters, particularly in the first half, were pretentious little snots. It was almost a DNF for me, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The second half improved, until the ending #booksky

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Think of Trump as a boil — an infected pustule on the giant ass of the American system. The boil would have become infected eventually because of deeper flaws in how the system has evolved. Let me introduce you to the first piece of why our system is failing: Jamie Dimon.

Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025. During that time, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth jump by $139B as Amazon profits hit record highs. No corporation as profitable as Amazon should be paying its workers so little they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive.
