If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.

Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.

The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.

We all love Europe’s old town street markets, but where do they go at night? Check out this creative solution in Florence. What late-night observations have you enjoyed in your travels?

It’s now been 1,000 days since the genocide in Gaza began. I’ll never forget the overwhelming feeling of dread and horror, knowing the hell Israel would unleash on October 8th. Their sadism surpassed my wildest expectations. Free Palestine, always and forever 💔🇵🇸

AYO NEW YORK CAN YOU FEEL THE SPECTRE HAUNTING THE NATION!!!!! SOCIALISM IS COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TOO

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Why can't we have a bike lane on Chambers Street to connect the Brooklyn Bridge to the Hudson River Greenway?

Blame the rampant placard abuse and illegal parking, @GershKuntzman explains.

This video is both heartbreaking and life-inspiring.

A film crew tries to film the destruction caused by US/Israeli bombing at an apartment complex in Iran. One of the tenants, an old man whose apartment has been almost completely shattered, insists on inviting the film crew in and offering them something to eat.

"We have only come to film, we don't want anything," the crew says.

But the old man insists on at least offering them oranges and apples.

Ultimately, those who come out victorious from conflicts are those who retain their dignity. Who never let war make them lose their humanity and self-respect.

Who, even in the worst of situations, insist on upholding sacred traditions and beliefs, including that of hospitality.

That's what makes a civilization indestructible.

Please remember this video and do your best to forget the videos of the lost souls dancing and cheering on the streets when their countrymen, women, and children were being killed by "democracy and freedom" bombs.

Last week, American/Israeli fighter jets targeted Iranian Pistachio Company warehouses. The Resnick family's Beverly Hills-based pistachio empire stands to gain. You won't believe the backstory ⤵️

بارانی از سیاهی و مرگ بر سرمان ریخته است و فرصت عزا نداریم. حالا حتی امیدبخش‌ترین چیزها، نمادهای زندگی نیز، ردی از مرگ بر خود دارند.

[Jim Garrison Keillor @books_rum]

Iran is defending the only home they’ve known since the dawn of recorded time. Israel and the US are defending the colonial outpost of a dying empire, and shipping routes.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

america is all about starving cuba and killing 1 million arabs annually and giving 10 trillion dollars to israel and if you complain about that you’ll be put in a concentration camp
