A 39-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at knife point in Central Park last night. At 8:30 p.m.
This comes just one week after a 32-year-old woman who was biking through the park—and stopped to pick up earbuds that had fallen—was ambushed by three men and punched in the head.
Violence against women has surged under Letitia James — up 41% in NYC — making us all less safe and less free. Women now worry about riding the train home from work, taking a jog in the park, and walking around their own neighborhoods at night.
It’s time for a change at AG.

Nothing will be learned.
Nothing will change.
Everything will continue exactly as before.

[Look at how keenly intent we are on catching the "thug": We even described his clothing!]

No arrests have been made as of Saturday night.

New favorite song - I Could Save The World by @donnieviemusic .Listen to the lyrics. This man is brilliant , with all the right influences. Highly recommend his album , Beautiful Things.
So sad to hear this. Aside from being a legendary player , Ron was a great supporter and friend to our Policeman’s Ball and the organizations it represents , and we honored him a couple of years ago. Deservedly so. Deepest condolences to his loved ones.
The New York Rangers organization mourns the loss of Ron Duguay, one of the most popular players in franchise history. Ron's signature skating style - with his hair flowing as he moved down the ice - captivated The Garden Faithful, and his skill, tenacity, and charisma earned him the admiration of all New Yorkers. We join the hockey community in sending our condolences to Ron's friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
@MusicCityYankee The dog weighs 18 lbs . Average weight for the breed is 16-20 lbs. She is a larger Cavalier with a lot of hair. And her health is perfect . Think before you post incorrect info.
Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.
To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.
Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.
This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.
Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?
Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.
