You’ve got to click through to really be able to read this, but note that the box on the top right says this will actually be a two-level facility, with around 5,200 beds on the ground floor (if I’m reading the blurry text right) and around 3,100 on the “mezzanine.”

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

Kind of makes sense. I mean, we haven't had the outbreak of a new and deadly worldwide pandemic in almost five years.

If you just watch one moment of the hearing today this should be it

Chart from Bloomberg Economics: Trump has fully followed through on only 27% of his tariff threats in his second term. And of those, only 20% are still in effect

Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.

Pats missed FG to end half but what a smart play by Drake Maye to get down and call a time out to give a chance.

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

Study shows people who rely on AI for their work are 8x less likely to fully comprehend or remember what they have “written” than people who bothered to do it themselves. Folks, use AI wisely, not as a crutch!

If you are still on X, at least do yourself the favor of being REALLY skeptical of the posts there from anyone other than your personal friends. Avoid being rage baited by phony accounts, it isn’t worth your time

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

$143 million in taxpayer money has gone to a mysterious company created just days before it got the money to create a Homeland Security ad campaign starring the deeply corrupt Kristi Noem. A firm with close ties to Noem is secretly cashing in on the deal, according to ProPublica.

They gave DC baseball one magical year in 2019 but it has been a lot of frustration ever since. Despite a small core of talent the blame for subpar 2020 onwards goes to ownership who played MoneyBall with nickels and dimes. Wish the best for Rizzo and Martinez wherever they land next.

So I just picked up the phone and got hit with a new scam: someone tried to tell me they were with CBP and I had to give them $100 to get the package I ordered into the country. So now we’re using tariffs for phone scams!

Striking shift in GOP donor base - top 400 donors now provide over 60% of GOP funds, nearly double 2020 levels. Both parties are far too reliant on mega-donors. But the GOP is now on another level. (1/n)
