On January 1, 1898, the five boroughs officially became one city. January 1 was adopted as the start of the year by the Ancient Romans in 45 BCE. Now, the day marks the start of 2026. But did you know that it's also the anniversary of New York City as we know it? This 1899 map from #NYPLDigitalCollections is an example of an early citywide navigational map. 🗽 🗺️ Explore more maps of the city: digitalcollections.nypl.org.

2025 has been a year of quiet courage for so many. It hasn’t been easy. Not all years are meant to be. I wish to take a moment now to applaud everyone who in moments of stillness made the quiet but firm decision to keep going - even when circumstances felt inevitable. As we close this chapter, may we carry forth what endures: our capacity to forgive, to grow, and to begin anew. Wishing everyone peace and the gentle hope that keeps us going as we step into the new year. Age quod agis 🕊️ 📷 Morgane Fauconnier “Aurora Angel” #HappyNewYear2026 #HappyNewYear #HappyNYE

NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt

We're now looking at 7-11" likely total snowfall until 1 pm tomorrow afternoon. The heaviest snowfall will likely be between 5pm tonight and 2 am Saturday morning, with snowfall rates somewhere between 1"-2" per hour. As a reminder: ❄️Do not travel unless you absolutely have to. Take public transit if possible. If you must drive, make sure you have a winter go bag in your car and know what to do if you get stuck. ❄️If you are walking, take your time and be careful on slippery surfaces to avoid slips and falls. ❄️Dress warmly in layers and know the signs of hypothermia and frostbite. ❄️If you do not have heat at home, alert your landlord and then notify @nyc311. ❄️Do not heat your home with your oven. ❄️Do not leave candles and space heaters unattended. ❄️Plug space heaters directly into the wall. ❄️Make sure you have working carbon monoxide and fire detectors. NYC aw requires them. More tips can be found at nyc.gov/winterweather. Sign up for emergency alerts from @NotifyNYC by texting "notifynyc" to 692-692.

Leading LLMs talk and write like scientists but fall short of the core cognitive steps of real scientific discovery. This matters because it exposes the gap between machines merely sounding intelligent and actually engaging in the iterative, self‑correcting reasoning that science requires. More 👇🏼

This paper from Harvard and MIT quietly answers the most important AI question nobody benchmarks properly: Can LLMs actually discover science, or are they just good at talking about it? The paper is called “Evaluating Large Language Models in Scientific Discovery”, and instead

Creative thinking develops with practice. Why stunt it with overuse of AI? I suggest defining the parameters of your own ideas before ever opening a prompt window. AI is just one of many tools in the creative toolkit. #TuesdayMotivaton

Relying heavily on AI doesn’t only stifle critical thinking. It constrains creativity too. New evidence: People generate more original ideas when they consult AI sometimes, rather than extensively or rarely. Independent thought is a foundation of ingenuity.

Paul McCartney’s silent track powerfully protests tech companies co-opting protected music to train AI without recognizing or compensating the artists who created it. His track urges us to question AI’s rapid-fire pace and its cost to human creativity, something fundamental to who we are.

In moments when the noise threatens to drown out progress, we find our voice not in the chaos, but in our choice to pause, breathe, and continue building. Peace is a daily commitment we make to ourselves and the world around us - as is progress. #MondayMotivation #MindsetMatters #MondayVibes #Communication #intention

As someone who worked in film and television early in her career - and has continued to work with video in all of my communications roles - this technology raises *many* significant issues. This is a pivotal moment for media and AI regulation as it pertains to video and the urgent need to protect both creative expression and public trust Strong safeguards, such as watermarking and clear disclosures need to be front of mind before this is made widely available. 👇🏼 #AI
