The latest closures come after the hospital axed its labor and delivery unit in 2022, citing an inability to pay competitive wages and retain competitive nurses.

It also previously shut down its ICU, neurosurgery services, inpatient dialysis and urology services.

There was a big dude friend group there and a couple of teenagers or college kids on dates, in addition to the regular crowd of longtime weird music appreciators of a certain age. They say the arts are dying but I think the arts are living.

Went to a performance of Piano and String Quartet by Morton Feldman at @roulettenyc.bsky.social and felt my entire nervous system relax. It was so good to hear it live. What a master.

Happy 96th birthday to Dolores Huerta, a true legend of the labor movement! From championing farm workers to empowering women nationwide, her tireless dedication to civil and labor rights is an inspiration to us all. ¡Sí, se puede!

Eric Adams is Albanian, AI LEGO videos from Iran are a reliable source of information, the President talked about how hot the First Lady of France is and praised Allah, the Pope is based…. Am I having a stroke?

NEW: The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a trial told 404 Media.

To mark @mayor.nyc.gov Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days in office, @ddayen.bsky.social and I looked at how he handled a Very Mayor problem (big snow) and how he's working to build trust with New Yorkers. I hope you'll check it out. We went long!

They planned out how they'll subsequently launder their image. I think that's so grim and ugly.

At the same time that Columbia officials violently suppressed their own students and colluded with the NYPD to beat them bloody, they also gathered up the material history of the protests so they can put it on display later on like they've done with their students who protested in the '60s.

the others are too long to read or post. please, if you send me hate mail, I'm gonna need it to be less than 100 words, otherwise it's going in the bin. I don't have time to read your novel for free, but I do offer my consulting services through the literary platform The Black List. More info here:

This one from Arthur Laffer fanboy Mike Villano is probably my favorite (so far). Imagine getting this worked up defending an economic consultant

Hate mail is comin in strong and rancid over this story. Guess I underestimated how many stans there are for Art Laffer, the trickle-down economist who says lowering taxes raises tax revenue.

Oil from an Iranian ship struck near the Strait of Hormuz threatens to poison one of the region's most important wetlands.

Local fishing communities depend on the mangrove forest for food.

If oil reaches them, it's likely to kill the fish they need to survive.
