It took my whole life up until now, but I have finally figured out what kind of guy I want to be, and it’s the kind of guy who takes this supplement.

There was a kid at my high school who volunteered on a tall ship and he would get up at morning announcements and try to spread the gospel of tall ships, and he was ridiculed and abused for this, but you know what, we owe him an apology, tall ships are indeed cool. hellgatenyc.com/tall-ships-a...

Oh hell yes, I love a massive formation of aircraft that is extremely loud and prolonged.

We are pleased to announce that we were able to come to an agreement to hold an NLRB election on July 24th. We’re looking forward to winning recognition with our overwhelming majority of support and continuing to fight for our colleagues! #SchnepsUnion

Sauntering into my workplace, dapping up coworkers, winking at the boss, getting ready for the big reveal on my unexplained 116-day absence.

Every metro reporter in NYC went to cover the last day of the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens yesterday, but fortunately you only have to read one of them: @hellgatenyc.com's own @maxrn.bsky.social : hellgatenyc.com/farewell-aqu...

Andrew Cuomo's new gig is shilling for legislation described by Elizabeth Warren as "a pro-industry crypto bill that will grease the skids for the president of the United States' crypto grift." Experts say Cuomo's involvement might run afoul of state ethics laws. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

As usual, @hellgatenyc.com's annual trend forecast predicted all of this. hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-20...

End-of-the-movie montage cutting between socialist election victory parties and FBI agents carrying cardboard boxes out of various Adams-world figures' homes.

Any person or institution in New York City contemplating making any wildly unpopular moves, this right now is probably your optimal window of opportunity.

The beautiful, thrilling mayhem of an inconceivable density of people all gathered in jubilation taking shape right now in Lower Manhattan for the Knicks victory parade. Follow the @hellgatenyc.com live-blog to experience it vicariously! hellgatenyc.com/knicks-ticke...

I say this fondly but part of what I love about this story is that taking a date to the New York Times office is an extremely New-York-Times-reporter thing to do.

I made this photo collage and I am exceedingly proud of it.

Vicki Schneps-Yunis and Josh Schneps have built a NYC-metro local news empire on the backs of journalists making $40,000 a year. Today, those journalists announced they're forming a union and demanding fair salaries. hellgatenyc.com/schneps-edit...

Four guys in Knicks regalia standing in a close circle by the swing set in an otherwise empty playground at 6:45 a.m., talking ecstatically about the series.

Logging into the CMS to publish a paginated blog entitled What Time Is The New York Knicks.

Camera cuts to Trump saluting and this bar crowd drowns out the remainder of the national anthem with a legitimately-surprising-even-given-everything torrent of jeers and abuse.

I didn't know that Delaney Hall is named after Geraldine O. Delaney, who got sober in 1947 and ran a rehab center in New Jersey for decades. The prison was originally supposed to be a rehab-centered facility. What a fucked up thing to have this woman's legacy now tied to these horrors.

The evolving semantic valence of the phrase “Knicks in four” is crazy.

Update in the case of Frank Seddio and the missing $2 million: Seddio was on the stand yesterday in a hearing on possible sanctions against him. He testified that someone—he doesn’t know who—must have sent a key legal email from his account, but it wasn’t him. hellgatenyc.com/seddio-on-th...

Proud to call @adlan.bsky.social a colleague. His response to the mole people question is the sort of deeply thoughtful, humanistic engagement with the issues of the day from which we all benefit.

“The NY Post is evil” “The NYPost employs some good reporters and is one of the last newsrooms covering NYC” This debate elides a more profound truth: The Post is deeply weird in its fixations and its treatment of them and is consequently often goofy as hell. hellgatenyc.com/nypost-mole-...

Wild to me that Zohran Mamdani's NYPD commissioner told City Council yesterday she does not consider herself to have any role or responsibility in reducing the jail population so we can close Rikers, and that in fact the City must build more jail capacity to lock up everyone she wants to arrest.

Hell Gate is pivoting to sports radio.

Exclusive: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is endorsing five candidates for state office today, and they include just three of the seven state-level campaigns backed by the NYC Democratic Socialists of America, along with two other Working Families Party-endorsed Democrats. hellgatenyc.com/mayor-mamdan...

This is a very slight improvement on a terrible name for a truly excellent journalistic outfit that deserves New Yorkers’ attention and support whatever it is called.

It takes a triple byline (and a heavy-handed rewrite desk editor) to bring you protest coverage this scorching hot. hellgatenyc.com/racist-creep...

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...
