The fight over space is the important dynamic at play in cities and beyond right now—and @WinnHu and I are writing a whole book about it ☀️

So excited to talk about how less is more, and dig deep into the solutions out there to address the greatest urban challenge of our time.

A roundabout — or, rather: a traffic diverter — grows in Queens.

আমরা নিউ ইয়র্ক সিটির হাই স্কুল শিক্ষার্থীদের জন্য দুই হাজারের বেশি ফ্রি ব্রডওয়ে টিকেট দিচ্ছি।

Couldn't agree more. We'll win this series on the court (even if the refs refuse to call a flagrant on Wemby), not by targeting, harassing, or attacking Spurs fans.

What some powerful people don't want you to hear: "the culture wars are a distraction." the fight that matters in this country isn't left/right, it's TOP/BOTTOM. @colbertlateshow @jamestalarico https://t.co/sqoisjEQHV

@HowsMyDrivingNY can you tell me about MBY-3464 please

Two days after the mass shooting at Brown University - and *after their police Chief spoke with a lecturing tone - they now issue video of who they're looking for. This suspect could be anywhere in the country now.

[Providence Police @ProvidenceRIPD]

We are sharing a video of a person of interest and plan to release additional video as part of the ongoing investigation. If you recognize this individual, please contact our Tip Center online at https://t.co/wMDG5fF8y4 or call 401-272-3121

[Arthur Chi'en @Arthur_Chien]

Brown Mass Shooting mis-steps. First, officials said the gunman was in custody, then he was at large, then a person of interest was in, then he's released. All the while, the Providence Police Chief speaks with a lecturing bravado, and the Univ President is uninformed?!! WTHeck?!

[Arthur Chi'en @Arthur_Chien]

What a class act. There’s a stark difference in how those who succeed handle their success. Some buy mega-yachts.. others think about people.

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ crew’s reaction as they receive their bonus for working on the tour

Over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her Eras Tour, including truck drivers, caterers, dancers and musicians

🚨WOW!! Larry Summers opened his class today by addressing the shame he feels because of what he did with Epstein

“Some of you will have seen my statement of regret, expressing my shame, with respect to what I did in communication with Mr. Epstein.”

They are all going down and they know it!!!

[Arthur Chi'en @Arthur_Chien]

Such unfortunate timing. I guess the redial button was on the fritz too.

[Jeff Coltin @JCColtin]

Cuomo’s campaign said his phone call dropped right as Ebro was berating him over having Trump’s support. But it seemed like Cuomo might have hung up. Either way, HOT 97 apparently deleted the awkward moment from the YouTube page, but here’s the video:

A political analyst tells Fox 5 - given the lowest turnouts have been in The Bronx and Staten Island, where Cuomo is looking for a strong showing -- the overall massive early voting turnout favors his opponent.

[NYC Board of Elections @BOENYC]

📢2025 General Election- Early Voting Day 3 Complete!
Manhattan: 67,110
Bronx: 19,096
Brooklyn: 67,729
Queens: 52,272
Staten Island: 17,061
Total # of Early Voting Check-Ins: 223,268*
*Unofficial & cumulative as of close of polls

[Ron T. Kim @rontkim]

Ok, so looks like I was wrong. Analysis from @Gothamist indicates that voters over 55 dominated early voting this weekend, which is not a good sign for Zohran. In my community, working-class older democrats have organized “against socialists,” and there has been no effort to reach out to them by the left. Even though many of them stood with me in fighting against Cuomo in the past, they now stand with him.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

🚨NEW YORK’S CANAL STREET IS SAFER: 9 illegal aliens arrested have violent rap sheets including robbery, burglary, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, drug possession, and forgery.

Under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.

Aren’t umpires who do this just asking for their profession to be replaced by the automated system? Wonder how his colleagues feel about this.

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

Juan Soto expressed displeasure with multiple strike calls from the home plate umpire in the 3rd inning that nearly led to his ejection

Later on in the game, a pitch out of the zone to Soto was called strike three against him

Sadly, it seemed inevitable in 2017 that the prosecution of Pedro Hernandez would end up here - and prolong the agony for the family of Etan Patz @fox5ny https://t.co/MEDSM7sxVZ
