This is like an old fashioned Gawker blog but somehow British and high-brow. I'll take it. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

From me today: Former boxer Goran Gogic, whose drug trafficking trial was postponed after allegations of jury tampering, kept a photo of a witness’s family in his jail cell, federal prosecutors have revealed. Now the feds may try to get his defense team tossed. www.nydailynews.com/2026/01/06/b...

nearly every detail in this wsj article (and many more) were reported by joseph in one of the 10 (!) articles he has done about it www.404media.co/ice-is-using... www.404media.co/you-cant-ref... www.404media.co/inside-ices-... www.404media.co/congress-pus...

three bylines, six months late, almost zero new information we hadn't reported months ago. lowercased our name and mentioned deep in the story. no link to us. said they couldnt find the govt privacy document (we did). good job wall street journal

Our updated story should be up soon, but here's one detail I had to share -- on a street corner outside the courthouse, two vendors were selling Venezuelan flags, $5 a piece. We asked one of them if he supported Maduro, and he said, "No." Then he politely declined to be interviewed for a story.

MADURO in court, via @johnannese.bsky.social: “I am innocent, I am not guilty, I am a decent man. I am still president of my country”

Now that MDC Brooklyn is back in the spotlight because of Maduro, I’m re-upping this thread I posted from Sept. 2024 detailing a string of stories I’ve written about the place. I’ve written a number of stories since, but this is a good primer for those with interest.

The superseding indictment against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, has been unsealed in the SDNY. It alleges a narco trafficking conspiracy and names four others as defendants.

Excellent choice of reading material.

As an added bonus, it’s slightly cheaper than the Encyclopedia Galactica.

New: DCAS Commissioner Louis Molina, a close ally to Mayor Adams, is stepping down from his post Wednesday, but will keep getting paid by the agency until Jan. 20 as part of an unusual arrangement that ensures he then immediately gets an NYPD pension. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/29/n...

Not to be too critical of a show a lot of people still like, but that big scene in Stranger Things between Nancy and Jonathan was quite literally like watching paint dry.

A most excellent gift.

New from me today -- a fed jury in Brooklyn has awarded $2.56M o a woman who sued the NYPD after cops slammed her head to the ground during a George Floyd protest. Brigid Pierce tells us she suffered permanent brain damage and will likely face early dementia. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/22/n...

Big news out of EDNY today -- Karl Jordan Jr., one of 2 men convicted of Jam Master Jay's killing, had his conviction overturned by the trial judge. Our story is going up soon. Judge said that while the gov't proved he was in a drug conspiracy, it couldn't prove that's what motivated the murder.

Can we do a prequel about the two rent-a-cops killed by Andor in the first episode of Andor? Now that’s a backstory we want and need.

Here's a very sad update to a Brooklyn MDC story I've been covering. Terrence Wise, who had a tumor in his lung triple in size because jail staff botched his cancer diagnosis and ignored his CT scan results for about 2 months, has died in federal custody. www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/15/f...

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Back when there were newsrooms and times were good, we would go out into the parking lot or up on the roof, stick a ruler in the snow, and that's how we'd know how much snow had fallen.

I have more than a few, but I’ll go with when my wife and I saw Elysium in RTX on Staten Island, and someone pooped their pants and just sat there with it for most of the movie. Later, one of my wife’s friends said the same thing happened to her in the same RTX theater.

If they ever remake the Muppet Christmas Carol the part of Scrooge better be played by Dominar Rygel XVI.

Not gonna link it, but can CBS really call this an "exclusive" when the @nydailynews.com got the same interview a day earlier? (It was our wood!) "George is unhoused and it took about a week for his family to learn of his condition." Unmentioned -- the family found out thru a Daily News reporter.
