meanwhile giant brands that have poured money into audience research have already determined that the move is to specifically sell themselves as not using AI because absolutely everyone hates it nygroove.nyc/local-busine...

hello today I wrote about something that's been driving me crazy lately: the proliferation of beloved local businesses turning to off-putting AI slop. I sat down with one of them to ask why nygroove.nyc/local-busine...

who among us doesn't want to "drink up: some loaded beef nachos and "blackberry marh"?

New in The Groove: Why are so many local businesses churning AI slop into your feeds? @timdonnelly.com did some classic 'guy in diner' reporting to find out nygroove.nyc/local-busine...

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

Have been meaning to check out New Colossus Fest and will be doing so after reading @vksmith.bsky.social's story on how it carries on the spirit of dirtbag daytime drinking music fests of the past nygroove.nyc/the-dream-of...

A century ago, beavers were basically extinct in Massachusetts. Now, their numbers are in the tens of thousands. Their rebound in the state all started with an ill-fated love triangle involving three beavers named Paul Bunyan, Paula Bunyan and Big Swede.

Fun NYC Fact: The portal to hell in The Sentinel (1977) is a 9 minute walk from where Cher kicks the can down the street in Moonstruck (1987). What a difference a decade of Ed Koch makes! 🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆

Here's a good rundown from @vksmith.bsky.social of how the mayor's new 'Rental Ripoff' hearings will work, and unfortunately it's less of a specatator sport than you might have hoped nygroove.nyc/what-to-actu...

The premise of this WSJ article is incorrect. We can debate the effects of the 2019 laws on the rental market, but Pinnacle was a bad actor long before them. Their model for decades was to buy up RS properties and let them fall into disrepair to push tenants out. www.wsj.com/opinion/new-...
