A devastating account of just one day in the life of a pregnant Palestinian woman in Gaza. Three of her children were already killed by an Israeli airstrike. She still lives in the ruins of their home. theguardian.com/global-devel…

insane to read for the first time, especially after just last night reading the opening letter from the editors of @the_point_mag in their summer issue, about how AI could render our cultural values completely unintelligible. what do we hold dear, what gives our lives meaning?
RIP to Annie Dillard, whose work frequently left me unable to speak sensibly for several minutes after reading it. This essay, This Is The Life, was my entry point to her work

A judge ordered discovery in landlords' rent freeze lawsuit looking for a smoking gun. The judge notes the rarity of compelling the gov do discovery in an article 78 case, and compels admin to turn over any communications b/w City Hall and the Rent Guidelines Board. Key parts:

Context from a Giuliani aide:
The videos of @NYCMayor and @AOC laughing are not true. I was standing next to them the whole time. The camera just caught her greeting him hello. Multiple other politicians were laughing and joking behind me. Republicans and Democrats.

Tenants nervously watched as their rent-stabilized buildings were auctioned off Wednesday. The winning bid came from a small-town NJ mayor who says he will work with the tenants to help them own the 88 apartments as a cooperative.

More than half of the properties that got a pied-a-terre tax notices are owned by LLCs, trusts or other corporate entities, per a new court filing from NYC's Dept of Finance

i spent a few months on and off reporting on convicted fraudster and infamous residential landlord steven croman for @CityLimitsNews this summer — this long read is the result of poring over court filings and interviewing tenants, many of whom are fearful of retaliation.
Tenants in buildings owned by one of New York’s most notorious landlords have suffered for years. Could Zohran Mamdani’s new housing plan, which pledges to beef up the city’s capacity to go after negligent owners, make a difference? via @caseywetherbee citylimits.org/jail-time-did…
