My all-time favorite Hollywood photo, publicity shot for The Killers (1946), from Google Images, courtesy of MGM, photo by Ed Esterbrook:
Headline from nypost.com: “Rich black parents send their kids to private schools at higher rates than white or Asian families: poll.” Only zealots would blame them.
From NYP: “That’s SMART: DOT debuts AI-powered air traffic system to dramatically reduce flight delays, cancellations.” No one is being fired. It’s simply a tool for greater efficiency. “You’re going to be on the airfield much faster. Your airline is going to use less fuel,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told reporters. Hope it will be as good as it sounds.
So far, this has been a fun dispute. Excerpt from an NYP article by Emily Goodin: “President Trump launched his counter assault to a decision by the major TV networks to boycott his White House events — Trump TV.” Love it!
Another wow regarding modern medicine. From NYP: “3-year-old boy’s quick-spreading cancer is cured thanks to 2 doses of new treatment.” According to the article by Rachel Sacks: Doctor’s take “… a patient’s white blood cells (T cells) and genetically engineer them to become cancer-fighting machines… After receiving two doses of the experimental GPC3-CAR treatment over eight weeks, he had no remaining signs of the disease, even after one year — indicating complete regression.” Mega kudos.
From NYP: “NYC’s Founders School ‘guarantees’ students will graduate with $1M businesses.” According to the article by Will Zimmerman: “… a new entrepreneurism-focused high school that opened its doors in the beginning of September in the Financial District, tuition costs a cool $150,000 per year. But, if students haven’t launched a business that’s made at least one million dollars in profit by the end of their fourth year, the school says it will refund a pupil’s entire $600,000 tuition.”

I am totally baffled by DT’s being so nice to Mamdani.
A friend posted the following on FB last night:
Sprinkles drove the Anti-Inflation Book Shop to the dreaded viaduct. My thanks to the woman who bought a Russian paperback from prolific detective fiction specialist Daria Dontsova, and to my Constant Benefactress, who insisted on paying for True Colors by Kristin Hannah despite having donated two books.
