Hell Gate Is Leaning in to AI and Prediction Markets, What Could Go Wrong? What even is journalism, though, really, when you think about it? It's nothing.

It's important to continue to innovate and over at @hellgatenyc.com we take that to heart.

A.I. is here and it's going to change EVERYTHING.

Also gambling is here and it's going to change EVERYTHING.

Also, some other shit is here and you're fired.

ah oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Industry is so funny because it started out as "what if currency traders doing cocaine was fun to watch" and ended with "what if instead of meeting Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell had a cool, only slightly evil friend"

If you read one piece about Snowball-gate make it this piece, because it gets at the heart of what Mayor Mamdani cannot avoid for much longer—a direct confrontation with the NYPD, or admitting that the elected leader of NYC has no power over it.

Mamdani Is Getting Snowballed by His Own NYPD The situation is absurd. The stakes are real.

Just underneath the absurdity lies one of the most volatile fault lines in city politics: The rift between elected government on the one hand, and the political power of the NYPD and the constellation of interests with which it is aligned on the other.

When NYPD Officers Are Under Frosty Attack, Snowbody Is Safe The mayor, governor, City Council speaker, and other New York officials past and present agree: It is wrong, and not funny at all, and perhaps a crime, to throw snowballs at New York's Finest.

You're laughing? Several cops from the NYPD's 6th Precinct in Manhattan were pelted with snowballs, absolutely creamed in a barrage of icy missles by participants of a staged snowball fight contentfest in Washington Square Park.... and you're laughing?

Some photos from tonight’s blizzard

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city.

“This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

I think it is cute how the MTA safely stows a bunch of trains during snowstorms on the express tracks underground. It is like a safe little burrow for trains!

Bring them hot cocoa. Turn the evil recipe digital ads to cozy fireplace videos.

There are things that you just deep down know about yourself and I am of the mind that I would be able to run a very good short order diner on Queens Boulevard in the mold of Alpha Donuts.

I know this about myself and this is my truth.

I assure you this is all very important and is basically exposing the superstructure underlying Brooklyn's ramshackle political spoils system but it's also really confusing so luckily we made this really helpful graphic to explain who is working with who.

How's Zohran doing during his first "tin cup" day? Who's to say?

All I know is that I want him to keep taking bathroom breaks so the legislature can keep cutting to these incredible jams while in recess.

And like....if only it was on the campus of a college....with a bunch of open classrooms....

This isn't as much of a gotcha as NYT thinks—Townsend's building is incredibly poorly designed for such a large footprint. Half of the building is basically unusable for teaching....design failure, not really a capacity issue!
