“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Roger
Lander earlier this month, he mentioned the possibility of things like sending in city building inspector's to ICE's headquarters at 26 Federal Plaza, where they are holding detainees in what is almost certainly a violation of their building permit. Stuff like that should begin the day that Mamdani is sworn in. In the same way that the federal government has been weaponized against immigrants, the New York City government should be weaponized against the federal government's presence in the city. Building inspectors, yes. And safety inspectors. Is the water in the ICE office clean? Cut it off, to test it. Fire drills. Tickets on their parked cars. Brake light violations. Health inspections. Sidewalk construction. Street closures. More fire drills. More fire drills! You can never have too much fire safety.

What to do if you are gored? Mr. Grinnell recommends lying still on the ground and hoping the bison goes away so medical help can reach you.
Newark Police have proudly taken guns off the street for years through gun buybacks. But at the same time they have inadvertently put their own weapons back in circulation. The Newark Police Department confirmed that they traded-in about a thousand guns in 2016 and 2017 to a firearms dealer, in exchange for discounts on new equipment. That dealer then resells the weapons.
