We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Drop whatever you're doing, folks
We're kicking off this Chaos Tuesday™ with a new bracket of the most embarrassing Yankees moments of the Aaron Boone era. There are 32 embarrassments coming from across 4 regions: October Nightmares, Boone's Brain, The Front Office, and Other Insanity That Sounds Made Up.
Be sure to vote early and often as we narrow things down to identify the single greatest embarrassment of the Boone era! We may not have the ALCS or the World Series this year, but at least we'll always have Chaos Tuesday. (First-round polls are in the replies below.)

Excited that this paper, "Highly replicable multisite patterns of adolescent white matter maturation", has now been published in Neuron! It may be found at cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…. To freely access the paper for the next 50 days, please use this link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1nxdd…
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a powerful tool to study white matter maturation. In our new preprint, we process and distribute a new resource of >24,000 ABCD dMRI scans using open source tools! We then evaluate how methods shape inferences about development.

"Do your own research," they said.
So I did
28 years, a medical degree, a PhD, and three postgraduate diplomas in infectious diseases later, I conclude that vaccines save millions of lives and do not cause autism.

Rest in peace, Margaret. Your trailblazing work leading the development of the on-board flight software for the Apollo spacecraft will forever be remembered. 🫡

Princeton denied her tenure.
Congratulations to Anne Carson on receiving the 2026 #NobelPrize in Literature.

FINAL: Yankees 9, Red Sox 0
Ben Rice hit two home runs and drove in six. Cam Schlittler threw 6.1 scoreless and struck out 10. New York beat the snot out of Boston and can clinch an ALDS berth against Tampa Bay with a win Wednesday or, if necessary, Thursday.

Being a baseball fan requires an absurd amount of cognitive dissonance. You analyze every game, every player, every metric for 162 games, knowing damn well what's real, what's not and how much is random.
Then the calendar shifts to the playoffs and you throw it all out the window and believe because, well, you have no other choice. That's what being a fan is.
It all starts tomorrow. Sleep well, baseball fans. Yankees fans in particular. This is the year. I have no choice but to believe.

We join the world in celebrating Dolly. This is from our teammate Luke.
Having spent two and a half years working on Dolly Parton’s digital team and going on an international tour, I got to see Dolly's pure magic behind the scenes. What you saw was what you got - endless warmth, incredible work ethic, and zero pretense.
She lit up the entire world with her presence, but her heart remained anchored right here in Tennessee. From Nashville to the East Tennessee mountains, Dolly gave our state a sense of identity, pride, and unconditional love. She proved you can change the world while staying entirely true to home. Fly high, Dolly. 🦋

Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte walked to the mound to remove Mariano Rivera from his final Yankee Stadium appearance on September 26, 2013.
No manager made the trip. Two longtime teammates came out to get him instead. After years of postseason games, championships and shared clubhouse history, the goodbye became a moment between three players who had been through almost all of it together.
