West village NYC after the Knicks won

I don’t know how to explain this phenomenon, but a Knicks championship might trigger a butterfly effect that reaches far beyond sports. In the largest city in America, a moment of collective joy could ripple outward, accelerating unity, restoring hope, and briefly making people forget the divisions that separate them

Knicks fans get STURDY when “Dior” by Pop Smoke comes on in NYC for the Championship celebration Pop Smoke’s legacy is alive & well in New York. RIP 🕊️

Fine the west village is cool now

The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity. - Lewis Mumford

I do love that the finals have changed the big blank wall of this universally hated condo building into a site of community joy

Craziest stat for me The Knicks had the #1, #3, and #5 biggest comeback wins in NBA Finals history In the same Finals

lots of shit talk 6 months ago about NYC not being it anymore, yet we on track for the greatest year in NYC history.

A really good take on AI animation: "Back in the 90s, 3D animation finally became good enough, and it sparked a new era for the industry. AI animation will do the same. For the first time, small teams, or even individuals, will be able to create things that previously required huge budgets, studios, and years of work. That won’t just benefit creators. It will benefit audiences too. We’ll get far more original, ambitious, and wonderful animated stories than traditional technology ever allowed."

The meter keeps running.

I don’t know why New Yorkers have a mean reputation, strangers here have been nothing but lovely on the street!

The @NewYorker has done it again. The cover perfectly captures the vibrant atmosphere of NYC during the Knicks’ final, with street watch parties, joyous screams from houses, and pleasant weather.
