There’s a waiver of indictment, and Porter will be charged in an “information” instead, which is what typically happens when a suspect expects to plead guilty at the onset of the case.

This was posted in a Brooklyn-bound A-Train. Looks like this guy is looking for “highly attractive” female friends with benefits. “Be for real/Pornstars are also welcomed… Strippers included” (I’ve blurred out his cell phone #)

Usually working a Sunday breaking news shift means covering all sorts of assorted mayhem.
Today it meant covering the NYC budget vote.

If the season didn’t drop all at once, would the discourse about The Bear be about that mess of a premiere? I wonder. The decision to do a jigsaw-puzzle flashback to emotional beats we already knew, all set to a droning NIN score that just wouldn’t stop, was absolutely baffling.

The best part about covering the Brooklyn courts, and about being on vacation this week, is that I do not have to and will not watch this debate live. Godspeed to those of you who do, and I hope your therapy is in-network.

I’m sure private equity had nothing to do with this shocking turn of events, and we won’t find out later that it was private equity all along.

I had to force myself to finish Lord Foul’s Bane. I just didn’t get it — it read like a masturbatory attempt at a dark retelling of Tolkien, with a main character so atrocious that I didn’t care what kind of redemption he might or might not be working toward.

Oh, good. Another attempt at using AI to litigate. This one is (thank GOD) hypothetical. But let's see how it does. To put it differntly: Does Daniel know what he's talking about, or is he a tech dude in desperate need of a sense of humility and an understanding of his own limitations? Thread.

There's something that everyone gets wrong about the Ashley Madison data dump from 2015. And I should know, because I was one of the reporters who broke the story. It's my latest for @newscientist@mstdn.social (sign up for a free account to read).

Cornell University at one point had a student organization named “Bad Music Lunch” that got student-group funding for jukebox money to play “Two Princes” and “My Sharona” in one of the dining halls. I don’t know if the group is still around.

Honestly, it’s hard to know at this point. Maybe the coverage will get things moving. Our last update from the NYPD said there wasn’t even a suspect description, but they tend not to share much in cases like this unless they want to.

My colleagues Colin and Ellen got the story the rest of the way there, and found his family and pics.
I often talk about how local news matters, but I doubt Mr. Pierce's story gets told if the NY Daily News and the @nydnunion.bsky.social weren't around to care about every murder victim in NYC.

Glad to play a role in telling this story.
Pulling back the curtain a bit, we learned of Mr. Pierce's death while tracking the murder rate in the 73 Pct. I noticed the PD stats showed more murders this year than the ones publicized, and asked what was missing.

Of course, there are better ways to say it than "officer-involved shooting" in a first pass of a story. But news shops without the resources may never be able to send reporters to the scene to talk to witnesses, and some PDs don't release follow-up details for months or years, under duress.

I try my best not to use the term (you may find a few uses from me dating back to the late '10s), but I get why a lot of reporters fall into the trap, especially when they're under pressure to put something online fast. Passive voice gives wiggle-room if, say, the guy shot himself in front of cops.
