@NYCMayor @usta - attended the @usopen for almost 3 decades. Can’t anymore because of resale market. Was one of the first for the AMEX presale and everything was secondary market and close to triple last year’s. The Open isn’t about New Yorkers anymore and that’s a damn shame.

@BillSimmons @ZachLowe_NBA My first thought, not giving two sh*ts about the NBA or the 76’ers,was “SOMEONE GET EYES ON CR!!”

@ringer @TheRewatchables @BillSimmons @SeanFennessey - love “The Rewatchables” and “The Big Picture”, but @netflix - you HAVE to fix the audio. It’s super low and I always have to crank up volume and still not hear it great.

When I head to Washington, I will be the first woman in Congress with a science PhD. That matters. At a time when science is under attack, Congress needs more leaders who understand the value of evidence-based decision-making.

It is no secret I do not support our Mayor.

But I will GLADLY work with Zohran Mamdani on finally banning horse carriage riding in NYC.

This is something all us New Yorkers can unite behind.

It's time to end animal cruelty in our city.

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Alan Nunez @alannunez]

@Ticketmaster - why was every ticket sold during the AMEX PRE-SALE a “verified resale ticket” and also 80% more than last year. @ZohranKMamdani - the Open isn’t affordable for most NY’s anymore.

All the President’s Men turns 50 today.

This famous “six‑minute shot” is a masterclass in phone acting and pure technical nerve.

Director Alan J. Pakula and cinematographer Gordon Willis pull off a single, unbroken slow zoom: from a wide, humming newsroom to a tight close-up on Redford. No cuts. No safety net. Tension builds in real time.

Redford carries it with typical quiet confidence. Six minutes of note-taking and talking into a phone, no flashy “Oscar clip.” He even flubs a name (“McGregor” for “Dahlberg”), corrects himself naturally, and Pakula keeps it because it feels authentic.

The background is part of the story. As Woodward hones in on his phone call, everyone behind him huddles around a TV watching Senator Tom Eagleton resign. The contrast is deliberate: they chase the “obvious” headline, while the camera drifts past them to Woodward, and the real story.

To hold Redford and the busy background in focus early on, they used a split‑diopter lens, then had to ease it out as the camera moves in. A technical tightrope. The timing of both actor and cinematographer is spot on.

As Woodward closes in on the truth, the world literally falls away: the newsroom blurs, the noise fades, and we lock into his obsession. It’s one of cinema’s great moments: Redford doing almost nothing—and somehow everything at the same time.

What makes this shot brilliant is the contrast it carves between Redford and the newsroom around him. The visual language does the talking: he’s locked in, disciplined, driven, all focus and fire. He stands apart because the work matters more than anything else.

Christina Koch was a firefighter at the South Pole at -111°F before she ever applied to be an astronaut. That was maybe the fourth most interesting line on her resume. She grew up in North Carolina, got three degrees from NC State, and her first real job was building deep-space instruments at NASA.

Then she left for Antarctica. Spent three and a half years bouncing between the Arctic and Antarctic as a research scientist, including a full winter at the South Pole base. That means going months without sunlight or fresh food, with a crew of about 50 people and no way out until flights resume. While she was down there, she also joined the glacier search-and-rescue team.

After coming back, she went to Johns Hopkins and built instruments for two NASA missions (one of them is still orbiting Jupiter right now). She figured out how to start a tiny vacuum pump that NASA designed for a future Mars rover. Johns Hopkins nominated it for their Invention of the Year in 2009. Then she went back to the field. More time in Antarctica and a stretch up in Greenland. A government research station in northern Alaska, near the top of the world. Then she ran another one in American Samoa, near the equator.

In 2013, NASA selected her from 6,300 applicants. Eight people got in. Her first space mission was supposed to be a normal rotation on the International Space Station, but NASA extended it. She ended up staying 328 straight days and orbiting Earth 5,248 times, covering about 139 million miles (roughly 291 round trips to the Moon). Up there, she ran over 210 experiments, including tests of cancer drugs in zero gravity and 3D printers that can build structures close to human tissue. Six spacewalks, 42 hours floating outside the station. She learned Russian for the training. She flies supersonic jets.

Right now, Koch is on Artemis II, heading for a flyby behind the far side of the Moon. The crew launched on April 1 and is on track to travel about 252,000 miles from Earth, which would break the all-time human distance record of 248,655 miles set by Apollo 13 in 1970. That record has stood for 56 years, and it was set during a disaster that nearly killed the crew. Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, is 92 now. He told Koch: "I heard you're going to break our record."

Nobody had left Earth's neighborhood since December 1972. Koch and her three crewmates are the first in 53 years, and they are coming home at about 25,000 mph. That is faster than any crewed spacecraft has ever come back through the atmosphere.

The Strait of Hormuz carries huge amounts of global oil and gas, and every new crisis in the Gulf raises the same question: what happens if it closes? Al Jazeera’s Aly Zein explains.

This bitch is celebrating the death of American military members and thanking their families for their blood sacrifice.

Loomer lost two Congressional races bc nobody respected her or valued her enough to elect her.

But this is who Trump takes late night calls from and laps up her praise and worship.

Loomer hated Charlie Kirk bc he spoke out against war with Iran the same way I do.

War with Iran is AMERICA LAST and we voted against it the same way voters voted against Laura Loomer twice!

And now Americans are once again coming home in flag draped coffins from another stupid pointless foreign war for foreign regime change on behalf of Israel.

And Laura Loomer demanded it and begged for it.

Sign up for the military, Laura! Go to the front lines, Laura! Maybe then they’ll give you a gun.

You don’t love Trump enough unless you go fight Iran yourself.

This Valentine’s Day, WCK was spreading love in Chile.❤️

Our teams are serving hot meals to communities impacted by recent wildfires, and this weekend, every meal came with a rose or a chocolate to celebrate the holiday. In times of crisis, a small moment of comfort and connection is a reminder to families that they’re not alone. #ChefsForChile

Este Día de San Valentín, WCK compartió amor en Chile.

Nuestros equipos están sirviendo comidas calientes a las comunidades afectadas por los recientes incendios forestales, y este fin de semana, cada comida incluyó una rosa o un chocolate para celebrar. En tiempos de crisis, un pequeño momento de consuelo y conexión les recuerda a las familias que no están solas. #ChefsForChile
