He’s raking in some ‘Cuo’ hard cash. Andrew Cuomo’s bid to topple mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani gained some steam this week – as the former governor raised an eye-whopping $400,000 in donations following Eric Adams’ exit from the race. The six-figure haul came in just under two days following Hizzoner’s announcement that he was dropping his long-shot independent re-election bid on Sunday, according to a campaign source. Ex-Gov.

Candy, costumes, scary movies, and Tom Brady absolutely shredding the competition.When the calendar flipped to October, TB12 consistently elevated his game to another level.

A somber vigil for the victims of the Yom Kippur terror attack at a British synagogue turned sour when Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy was heckled by mourners.

Go to Palestine,” one person shouted over the chorus of boos. “Shame on you.” “You have blood on your hands,” another citizen shouted. One animated man riled the mourners with a…

The father of one of the two slain Israeli-American hostages whose bodies are still held by Hamas praised President Trump for his “bold and strong leadership” Friday after the terror group agreed to release the captives — but that he is still cautious it could “go wrong.” Long Island resident Ronen Neutra, the dad of 21-year-old Omer Neutra, also said President Trump should win a Nobel peace prize if a peace deal actually goes through between Israel and the terror group that have been fighting for nearly two years. “Hopefully we can see our son back with the other 47…

As the air starts to cool and the leaves start to fall, our friendly forest beasts the bears begin to prep themselves for hibernating through the long winter months. But before burrowing in their den, any proper bear is going to terrorize a national park and eat as many people as he can find, right? At least that’s the lesson I’ve learned from William Girdler’s 1976 animal attack movie, Grizzly, and we invite you to join us to watch along this Monday, October 6th at 8:00pm Eastern for our next Twitch party!  As you may already know, Scott Drebit and…

A former Newark City Councilman and Democrat said he will vote across party lines in the high-stakes New Jersey gubernatorial election and back GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli — slamming Rep. Mikie Sherrill for being out of touch with “regular everyday people.” Oscar James II, who is black and served on the City Council from 2006 to 2010, said Sherrill has failed to resonate with “working people” and much of the Garden State’s historically left-leaning black community.  “When you talk to everyday people, the people picking up the kids when I’m picking up my kids, the people in the grocery line…she…

Terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie was on bail for rape when he attacked a UK synagogue on Yom Kippur, according to reports. The 35-year-old Syrian-born killer was under investigation for a sex crime committed earlier this year when he plowed his car into worshippers and went on a stabbing spree outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester on Thursday, The Guardian reported. It is not clear when the rape took place, but it was being investigated by Greater Manchester Police — one of a number of crimes he is thought to have committed, a source said. Jihad Al-Shamie was on…

AI can now schedule meetings, summarize calls, draft emails, and write serviceable first drafts. That’s not the threat. The threat is what it reveals. If your value as a manager lives mostly in tasks, AI will eat it. If your value lives in people—coaching, clarity, and meaning—AI becomes your time-maker. The task trap (and why AI breaks it) For years, many managers equated “being indispensable” with staying busy: approving requests, forwarding documents, chasing status updates, taking notes, and nudging people about deadlines. AI is rapidly absorbing that layer of work. The result is an uncomfortable question: What is your leadership…
