@theblockspot As a Knick fan, not yet.....his teams may have made it into the playoffs but it doesnt top Frazier, Monroe, Reed, Ewing, Melo. But if Big Body gets to the finals somebody has to move out lmao but he also has to sustain the excellence. It can't just be once

I’m Katie Porter and I approve this message.

“Yes!” Democrat Katie Porter enthusiastically said she supports taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants during a California gubernatorial primary debate. The former congresswoman insisting that restoring that coverage to undocumented migrants is “what Californians deserve.” Porter gained momentum in the polls after frontrunner and fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign following a number of sexual misconduct allegations.

We’re proposing a two-way protected bike lane linking Central Park to the Hudson River and East Side Greenways.
This redesign would shorten crossing distances and improve safety for all.

@shanaka86 I don't know about other countries but that French gold are all stolen from African countries. France does not have any gold mine. France have a sizable gold reserve without gold mine. Needless saying they bought them. Stolen wealth from French speaking African nations.
English

France moved 129 tonnes of gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to Paris between July 2025 and January 2026. Every ounce of French sovereign gold is now stored on French soil. The Banque de France sold non-standard legacy bars held in New York at record prices and simultaneously purchased equivalent compliant bars in Europe, booking a capital gain of 12.8 billion euros without changing its total reserves of 2,437 tonnes by a single gram. The transaction was described as operational, not political. But the outcome is political regardless of the motive: a founding NATO ally has removed 100 percent of its gold from American custody.
Germany did this between 2013 and 2017. Now France. The pattern is consistent: Western central banks are bringing their gold home from New York, quietly, without fanfare, while publicly maintaining that the moves are routine. Nobody repatriates 129 tonnes of sovereign metal across an ocean because the storage fees were inconvenient. They do it because the world that made New York the safest vault on earth is the same world that froze $300 billion in Russian reserves in 2022, and every central bank on the planet watched.
China has purchased gold for 16 consecutive months. February 2026 was the latest: one tonne, modest, disciplined, bringing total reserves to 2,308 tonnes valued at $387.6 billion, approximately 10 percent of total foreign exchange reserves. China has simultaneously reduced its US Treasury holdings by $638 billion. The buying is not speculative. It is architectural. Every tonne purchased and every Treasury sold moves the centre of gravity of China’s reserve portfolio from an asset that can be frozen to an asset that cannot.
India repatriated 274 tonnes to domestic vaults, bringing 66 percent of its gold home. It reduced US Treasury holdings by 18 percent in 2025. Poland added 20 tonnes in February alone and is targeting 700 tonnes total. Uzbekistan added 8 tonnes. The structural bid from central banks that watched the 2022 freeze is running at 863 tonnes per year with no sign of slowing.
Then there are the sellers. Russia sold 6 tonnes in February and approximately 15 tonnes in the first two months of 2026, the largest drawdown since 2002. The country that triggered the global repatriation movement by getting its reserves frozen is now selling gold to fund the war deficit that the freeze was supposed to prevent. Turkey sold 8 tonnes in February and utilised approximately 50 tonnes in March for lira defence and liquidity operations. The irony is precise: the war that proves gold’s value as a sanctions-proof reserve is simultaneously forcing the countries most exposed to sanctions to liquidate their gold to survive the war’s economic consequences.
The net global position remains positive. Central banks added 19 tonnes in February despite Russia and Turkey selling. The buyers outweigh the sellers. But the composition tells the story. The buyers are countries building sovereignty: China, India, Poland, Uzbekistan. The sellers are countries defending survival: Russia funding a war, Turkey defending a currency. And the repatriators are countries hedging trust: France and Germany bringing metal home from the vault of the ally whose financial weapons they watched deployed in 2022.
Gold is at $4,676 tonight and down 8 percent from its January high. The correction is the trade. The repatriation is the structure. And the structure says that the world’s central banks, collectively, have decided that the safest place for sovereign gold is no longer New York. It is home.

@katz_morris Nope, she’s an overt racist who wants to steal property rights from American citizens. Let’s call a spade a spade.

@Lucius0 @Sean_Butler1 Clearly a tax on something is going to cause people to change behavior. I don’t think anyone opposed to it feels stupid that it’s lowering traffic in that specific area, of course it is. Do you think wealthy are the only ones who should be privileged to drive in lower Manhattan?

@Sean_Butler1 i hope the people who were so vehemently opposed to Congestion Pricing feel really stupid
English

@Sean_Butler1 And I don’t have any settings on my Waze selected that would account for this. A bit fishy if you ask me and I wonder if anyone else has noticed it
English

@Sean_Butler1 Waze actively reroutes me around the holland tunnel at times. So much so that I will be at the entrance of the tunnel and it will still be rerouting me an hour out of the way down into Staten Island to eventually get to Brooklyn via the Verrazano bridge. I’ve found that very odd

@JPMogginChase @KnicksMuse That would only lower the supply. Resale price of every other ticket would increase in that scenario

@KnicksMuse Season tickets should not be eligible for resell

“Potvin Sucks” rarely happens anymore. It’s also fan-initiated. The Islanders have their organist play a jingle so the fans can scream it. Not the same thing.
Will Pesek@WillPesek_
“Rangers suck” is so embarrassing but “Potvin Sucks” isn’t?! Majority of your fanbase has no idea why that’s even chanted. Clean hit by the way. #Isles #NYR

There needs to be a section in UBS for those inconsiderate fans who:
a) stand up for every high danger chance
b) wear big hats
c) sit on the edge of their seat
d) get up every 5 minutes
What else makes you go crazy at #Isles games?

@AZadarski Should do Austin instead of Houston. Market that has zero competition and will be the first pro team (yes I know, soccer). Worked in Vegas, and would work in Austin.
