The vaunted Sovereign Southern ain't what it used to be
from last night: DOJ/SDNY walked away from criminal case being brought against ex CIA analyst accused of secretly working for South Korean government and accepting luxury gifts in return. The analyst, Sue Mi Terry, was set to go on trial in just weeks. She is married to Washington Post columnist Max Boot. SDNY did not provide an explanation for why it took highly unusual move of walking away from a case. w/@SantulN nytimes.com/2026/10/13/nyreg…

A decade ago, NYC had over a million students in the public schools. This year we have 885,000. Projected to decline by another 150k over next decade.
That drop has left 219 schools with enrollment of less than 200 students each. Some are so small they can't even field a sport team.
This is not sustainable. As painful as it is, there is going to have to be some consolidation of schools with sharply declining enrollment.
Update: suspected catnapper arrested
We love an animal story. @s_nessen gothamist.com/news/park-slop…

After the reading of the names concluded and the final moment of silence ended, Most dignitaries left the 9/11 Memorial. Mayor Mamdani stayed for some time. That's when he spoke with Michael Massaroli Jr., the last family member who read names at the podium, and others.

“The project is not shovel ready, no major stakeholders have been engaged, and absolutely no one has identified the $21 billion needed just to build the platform over the tracks,” @juliej_won said re: Sunnyside Yards.
