Court nerds: Seems NYSCEF notifications require extra vigilance due to fraudulent emails harboring malware. Sigh.

Justice is blind, and also doesn't answer phones or emails in August apparently. Good luck to all looking to reach Part clerks @NYSCourtsNews.

NYC is the greatest city on earth. You can watch the most important films in history on any day of the week, often for free. Not enough people talk about this because they're kinda hard to find! So I fabled a site that has all the independent film screenings in NYC on any day, all in one place:

https://t.co/fKYuQPNa2n

It's sortable by year, director, theater, 35mm/70mm, etc. and includes every indy theater + free screenings in the parks, museums, etc.

I was reminded this needed to exist by the Feed Me newsletter last week, thanks @Emily_Sundberg

My hope is that people find art that speaks to them 💫

New from me: Nine adult day care centers in fraud-plagued Flushing, Queens donated to Kathy Hochul and other top Dems, while taking $242M in Medicaid money.

One suspiciously empty daycare went from billing $114,000 in 2018 to $8.05M in 2024

If only major news outlets were willing to so publicly acknowledge they are following reporting from small outlets as they are other big competitors.

[Chadwick Moore @Chadwick_Moore]

One New York neighborhood has 77 adult day cares that bill Medicaid over $100M a year. But at peak times some of these small, storefront facilities that claim to have 30,000 patients are all empty. New from me: https://t.co/oTFrwNmVNt

Often in real estate, the bigger you build, the higher the stakes become. @KKallergis' August cover follows developer Michael Stern, whose skyline-defining ambitions are colliding with lawsuits, fractured partnerships and a tightening capital market.

We can’t legislate our way around horse biology. Horses aren’t meant to pull carriages in midtown, and this is clear to everyone who has seen these animals endure the crowds, the honking, and the heat.

Grateful to @JulieMenin and @ChrisMarteNYC for moving Romanch’s Law forward!

[The City Reporter @THECITYNY]

City officials received complaints about unsafe conditions at the Midtown tower at risk of collapse as far back as spring of 2025, The City Reporter has learned, as officials scramble to secure the area.
