I still die a little inside when I remember how much of my precious photo budget I had to sacrifice to include this image in my wedding fashion book, but it had to be there. www.vogue.com/article/caro...

The nicest thing about a snow day, and working while the college is officially closed, is that it's a snowbody bothering me day and I get more done.

So in order to cancel a Thrive Market membership you have to find instructions alllll the way at the bottom of the customer service FAQs, and then ask a chatbot to cancel it, at least 5 times. I wish this was hyperbole. @warren.senate.gov the CFPB should look into this.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

DHS keeps making false claims about people. It's part of a broader pattern Trump administration officials have falsely linked Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good to domestic terrorism. It's part of a larger pattern by the Department of Homeland Security.

SUNY didn’t roll back any of their DEI commitments, and it’s a system of 64 colleges and universities serving almost 400,000 students.

@saalevine.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social In Connecticut, if groceries scan at the wrong price, you get it for free. The result is, the shops keep the pricing accurate. I wish we had this rule in NYC. I’ve had so many experiences with items scanning higher than the advertised price.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.

While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.

On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safeβ€”on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.
