Harlem night with Mo Diawara. New York Forever.

I campaigned on a commitment to create the Department of Community Safety, an unprecedented, whole-of-government approach to making sure every New Yorker is safe in our city. We just took a major step towards achieving it. Today, I signed an Executive Order creating the Office of Community Safety, led by our new Deputy Mayor Renita Francois. This office will focus on preventing gun-violence, meeting mental health crises with trained professionals, exploring innovative approaches to crime prevention, tackling hate crimes, and supporting survivors. Our city has the power to forge a bold, forward-looking vision for community safety -- and we're wasting no time using it.

Starting March 27, NYPD will no longer write criminal summonses to cyclists for minor traffic offenses, and will instead issue the same regular traffic tickets to cyclists as drivers, as they did before the Adams administration shifted the NYPD approach. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/18/mam…

"If solidarity has so often been withheld from the Irish, it has never been withheld by the Irish." Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

On Saturday night, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Mo Diawara of the New York Knicks broke fast together during sundown. I spent time with them during Iftar while their conversed about being Muslim, being cosmopolitan, Muslim identity in New York, and much more. gq.com/story/nyc-mayo…

@willmenaker We all walk out of legacy shows saying someone’s still got it and usually only half mean it but when i saw him two years ago - man he’s really still got it. Also one of the greatest songs of all time

Katherine and I saw Jonathan Richman on Friday night, he was a joy and I got to hear one of my favorite songs of all time live. youtube.com/watch?v=3edg69…

This is wild. 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history. Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots. Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget. Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard. The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

One of five lyricists i shuffle around on any given day for who i’d call my favorite of all time- sad to hear, but also: good for him, no one has to or should do this forever, especially when it takes a toll
