Behold NYC's First-Ever Trumpeter Swan A member of the once-near-extinct species has taken up residence in the East River. But why?

Brooklyn has been graced with the appearance of a swan so rare that experts say there have been no recorded sightings of the bird in New York Cityβ€”until now.

Nothing against Schubert, or my personally beloved Schumann and Janačék, but Evidence of Things Not Seen is the greatest classical song cycle newyorkclassicalreview.com/2026/03/broo...

a modest proposal: a select number of those convicted of lesser crimes at the Nuremberg 2.0 trials can earn a shot at redemption by surviving a deathrace-type competition using the unused fleet of ICE vehicles
