A time-series viz of all publicly recorded* Bayraktar TB2 flights over western Turkey since late 2023 The tracks show how extensive/persistent these circular patterned surveillance flights are along the Aegean coast + Evros land border

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

Strike the word “illegally” and this is what the average liberal resident of an American sanctuary city believes.

While Keir Starmer is best-known these days for his time as Prime Minister, his film work will always have a special place in my heart — particularly the poetic and meditative innocence of “Where Is the Friend‘s House?”.

BBC got a crew into southern Lebanon — Israel’s “security zone.” All buildings are gone. All houses are gone. All humans are gone. The only thing that stands above the rubble is an Israeli flag. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

Who do you think pays more in property tax, the owner of this recently sold five-story Bed-Stuy brownstone (top)? Or this tiny one-bedroom Bed-Stuy condo (bottom)?

i've gotten a lot of feedback on my long airpods, and one ask was clear: can they be longer? well i'm happy to say, yes.

my youtube algorithm only wants one thing and it's disgusting

Israel has killed or injured 11 children in Lebanon every day, as it expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire.

I couldn't find a good way of visualizing NYC property tax roll data across the entire city at once, so I made one: subject.space/projects-sta...

Blue line (March 3, 2026) - Israel forces evacuation of civilians south of the Litani River Yellow Line - (April 18, 2026) - Israel hardens an occupied military zone in southern Lebanon Black line (May 27, 2026) - Israel forces evacuation of civilians south of the Zahrani River

Properties owned by (often somewhat anonymous) LLCs in Brooklyn. Land use type in Queens. Effective tax rate in The Bronx.

Paris Court of Appeal announces the former head of Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, will be investigated for complicity in crimes ‌against humanity In 2021, SJAC published a brief to the ICC presenting evidence of alleged illegal pushback of migrants by Frontex www.reuters.com/world/france...

Have I messed up some part of this data analysis, or are NYC property tax rates really this wild? This is as bad as Prop 13.

Tonight is the first time a driver has punish-passed me, then stopped and tried to chase me with a baseball bat. Dollar van with defaced plates.

ICE back at Delaney Hall, arriving in a bearcat followed by about 6 SUVs. Agents are wearing ballistic helmets, some with batons out holding a line as others behind remove a barricade. About two dozen agents in total.

Wipe down the windshields and roll up the windows Let's go where the jackals are breeding

I am once again wondering why the R211 HVAC is so loud. 85 dB standing on the platform, as loud as though there was a diesel locomotive on the track and louder than the inside of an airplane. inaudible announcements and an unpleasant experience that the MTA just accepts for new trains?

NEW for @nyc.streetsblog.org: A trooper was arrested for assault in NJ in 2024 when he was supposed to be on patrol in Brooklyn. A secret internal investigation found 9 other troopers in the unit who had also skipped out on their duties. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/21/s...

Subway Takes guy: what's your take Dr. Mahmood Mamdani: The nation made the immigrant a settler and the settler a perpetrator. The nation made the local a native and the native a perpetrator, too. Once we learn this history, we might prefer to be survivors instead. Subway Takes guy: 100% disagree

Isn't this already basically true? Something like 22% of Americans are children. Around 40% of households (not the same as individuals) pay no income tax.

TopDog does not mean we are the best.
