If you were as horrified to read this as I was, here is a link to the petition asking Mayor Mamdani to enact a 2 year moratorium on gen AI in NYC public schools: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Excited to share that Cindy Kam’s and my article is published online! We examine item refusal pre- and post-Dobbs and find a significant increase in women’s refusal to disclose their pregnancy status after the decision, with concerning implications for research, policy, and women’s health.

Yeah, to me this is a huge compliment.

This makes so much sense. And is so important. I love the word “legibility” - it describes the phenomenon perfectly.

Robust elections are the first step in democracy recovery.

This is horrific. The only thing more disturbing than this story is the fact that the story wouldn’t exist without @hellgatenyc.com and @nysfocus.bsky.social. Thank g-d for investigative journalism.

My 14 year old, who loves Grays Anatomy, thought it was terrible.

I will! And feel free to tell him when/if you run across him in the car. He takes great pride in being the spaceship car guy.

I love it that my brother’s car has become the literal poster child for more metered parking.

Turnout and persuasion: two very different phenomena.

Is The Late Show with Colbert going to be nominated for an Emmy in the drama category? He is doing masterful work.

Seriously tho, corruption erodes civic trust. Prosecutors don’t have the resources to uncover all of it. @hellgatenyc.com is the only reason folks know about this influential grifter whose self dealing affects anyone who ever interacts with our court system. G-d bless @nickpinto.bsky.social.

Frank Seddio is the Anna Delvey of Cadman Plaza. Netflix should ask @nickpinto.bsky.social to turn this into a limited series.

Primary electorates, especially in times like these, are very difficult to predict accurately. The hand wringing over the lack of broadcast tv buys is kind of hysterical. It’s going to be fascinating to see how this one plays out.

The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill

“A final but especially important reason that popularism has put the United States at greater, not lower, risk of authoritarianism is the Democratic Party's overly cautious use of institutional authority and political power beyond elections.”
