I appreciate Bad Bunny for bringing the Telemundo Saturday afternoon variety show ethos (dancers, inapt sets, let's-try-this attitude) to global TV.

Marilyn Hagerty, who went viral reviewing an Olive Garden, dies at 99 Readers knew her as a chronicler of North Dakota life. But her review of a Grand Forks restaurant brought her wide recognition, including from Anthony Bourdain.

RIP to a North Dakota legend.

Marilyn Hagerty used to sometimes write her restaurant reviews addressed to her deceased sister, and I just like to think that they’re together now, enjoying Olive Garden breadsticks in the afterlife.

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name CrΓ©mieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

From a journalistic ethics standpoint. whoever permitted this should lose their job.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together β€” in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

Excellent news for the NYC left:

There were 10 city council members of the Progressive Caucus who faced primary challengers today, some of them very ideologically polarized primaries.

All 10 incumbents are leading *by a lot.*

Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze.

I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies.

Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.

Awesome to see Chappell Roan speaking out about health care! We have a ton of thoughts about this. Our research found that musicians have lacked health insurance at about 3 times the rate of the general population.

We can’t control what disasters a new year may bring. Stoicism can help us get up and try again | ... Social media can amplify our own helplessness and guilt – perhaps it’s time to return our focus from the global to the local, where we can truly make a change

"If I can’t manage global peace this year, maybe I can still help raise money for a new playground or grow some half-decent rhubarb. Maybe I can be more patient with the kids or listen better to a friend in trauma." - @mykebartlett.bsky.social on stoicism in 2023
