So, literally, The Last Train to Clarksville? consequence.net/2025/11/mick...

Congrats to Miami, FL, for tying their record low for the date. This is their first record low since Feb 20, 2015. Since the previous record low, they have set or tied a daily high temp record 182 times. 2015: 14 2016: 11 2017: 13 2018: 6 2019: 27 2020: 24 2021: 9 2022: 21 2023: 36 2024: 14 2025: 7

From NY Post columnist Mike Vaccaro: "A clarification for those who’ve seen multiple spellings for Sugar Ray Richardson: Born “Michael,” he said in 1983 he wished to be called “Micheal.” By ’24, for his autobiography “Banned” he switched back. His family asked that he be referred to as “Michael.”

RIP, Knicks legend Micheal Ray Richardson. Unfortunately, this Athletic/Times obit misspells his first name (it's Micheal) and fails to mention his legendary, often-repeated quote (that once perpetually described the Knicks): "The ship be sinking." www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

I was close.

Stefany Shaheen, running for Congress in NH01, opposes the Senate deal her mother Jeanne negotiated to end the shutdown, saying it doesn’t resolve the ACA cliff: “Too many people will see health care costs that are already too high skyrocket even further starting in January.”

“Possibly the greatest #ThiccSix of all time” @mikegolicjr.bsky.social HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED

All politics is local: "Students sounded a cynical note about politicians, in City Hall and their student council. “Someone running ... promised to add dividers to all the urinals and this has not come to fruition,” said Baby Doumbouya, a 16-year-old senior." gothamist.com/news/bronx-s...

New York is not immune from Trump White House pressure. The state just OKed an underwater natural gas pipeline in exchange for lifting a blockade on an offshore wind project, coincidentally on the day that Elise Stefanik announced her run for governor against Kathy Hochul. Over to you, New Jersey.

Oh my…

Launching a campaign on a Friday because Bruce Blakeman hinted he’s looking at the race again in a quote he gave the Post is…

The defense was on a roll. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

"The White House removed a social media post featuring the NY Knicks logo that appeared to mock Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after the NBA team reached out to President Trump’s administration... “The Knicks remain neutral on political matters,” a team spokesperson said" www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Would love to see this on Law and Order, but those writers don’t do humor. Could have been one for ‘The Good Wife.’

One of the confounding things about governing the largest city in America is that it is largely at the mercy of Albany. Hard to see how Mamdani gets the money he wants to pursue his agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

The NYT has a neighborhood breakdown- it’s fascinating. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Will Sherrill be flying a helicopter to her victory celebration?

Wish the NYC returns tonight were broken down by neighborhood instead of borough.

Fun fact: Abigail Spanberger was born in NJ (Red Bank)

“The boos are cascading down now, my goodness.”

This feel like the game that seals Brian Daboll’s fate.

Giants defense is about as bad as the Knicks defense.

Bleak poll for Trump - and given his low numbers, rather lousy for Democrats, too. wapo.st/4oMSmrs

This best not end on a double play

A shoutout to the writers for a great World Series!

An Air Canada flight right now

Saturday's Start over Chicago's Lake Michigan.

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

Knicks should hire Tom Thibodeau. I hear he’s available.

This is like the Super Bowl for this account

Happy 50th to the GOAT of #tabloidheds

New coach but Karl Anthony Towns still plays atrocious defense.

Christmas decorations up, before Halloween and the end of the World Series. Has to be some kind of record. [At Metro Center Macy’s in DC]

Checked out Brand X for the first time in a while. Interesting curation of “today’s news” for me.

“Pike, who was a Freemason and was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson, has also been identified by historians as possibly having been involved with the development of the Ku Klux Klan in the period after the Civil War….” www.npr.org/2025/10/27/n...

You VERY rarely ever see a satellite presentation like this anywhere in the world. And you certainly don't expect to see it this close to a mountainous island. As of 5am EDT on Tuesday, #Melissa is the 8th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record by central pressure (901 mb).

An extraordinary 15-minute wait at my Upper West Side polling site yesterday. Other than that, zero evidence of this election in my neighborhood - no signs, canvassers, mailers, tables outside Zabar's, etc. gothamist.com/news/voter-t...
