As Tim Gunn says, always use your 'editing eye.' Critical to all good design. --I avoided the fan edits, but was eager to see Lynch's extended cut. You were right on target with the addition to the whole. But I enjoyed all of it. The Slow Club experience was mostly left out of the theatrical cut. But was so Lynch. Opening with the dog eating from his bowl, to the chicken and egg performance... cinematic treasure. Thanks again for the heads up.

    The probability that the ad men or women, involved in the decision making for this image, considered the sexuality of the image is 99%. Was it the focus? No. It is a shot of a woman in the waves looking at how impressive her beach broach is .

    Full title: NYC is now the first city in America that bans sketchy subscriptions / As of Thursday, the city's click-to-cancel rule has taken effect, which requires businesses to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up.

     

    Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is pulling out of a federal program meant to help veterans transition out of homelessness, alleging the Trump administration would have required New York City to discriminate against transgender vets seeking shelter to receive the funding. 

    But federal officials are denying that claim, and say the city walked away from the program after the veterans agency notified the Mamdani administration the city would receive less money than it had in the past

     

    New York City reached a settlement with the gig delivery platform DoorDash that will bring $115 million to the city’s drivers and create a new monitoring system of the company’s pay practices.

    The deal resolves allegations that DoorDash underpaid more than 260,000 drivers. The city said it was the largest labor enforcement action in its history.

    “When a worker earns a wage, they deserve to be paid that wage — not tomorrow, not after a lawsuit, but on time and in full,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement Tuesday.

    The settlement also includes more than $16 million in civil penalties.

     

    New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records about air quality following the September 11, 2001, attacks, showing city officials at the time knew conditions around Ground Zero were unsafe to breathe despite repeated assurances to the public.

    Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release at a news conference Tuesday.

    “As the years pass and the human toll grows, we reckon with the cost of September 11th whenever another New Yorker is stolen from us too soon,” Mamdani said. “Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.”

    At least 140,000 people from all 50 states have enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, and 49,000 have been diagnosed with certified WTC-related cancers, according to the 9/11 Memorial. Mamdani said Tuesday that more people are eligible for assistance than are currently enrolled, including residents who lived near the site but have not received outreach and those who live outside of New York.
