Closed polling stations, malfunctioning ballot scanners, the mysterious disappearance of some 50,000 registered Democrats: These are just some of the “irregularities” reported by New York City residents trying to vote today.

Target is reportedly raising its minimum wage to $10 an hour, following a similar announcement by Walmart last year. This will not satisfy the “$15 an hour” movement, but it’s nice to see Target forced to do something (minimally) nice for its long-suffering workers.

Peter Liang, the former NYPD officer who was convicted of killing Akai Gurley in East New York’s Pink Houses, was sentenced today to five years probation and 800 hours of community service for the shooting. A judge reduced Gurley’s charges just before sentencing him, throwing out his manslaughter conviction and replacing it with criminally negligent homicide and official misconduct.

Before he was a star on the rise in the world of Florida politics, State Senator Darren Soto was apparently a member George Washington University Law School’s Law Revue, a “musical and sketch comedy show,” which sounds almost as terrible as the Florida House of Representatives. In 2006, three short years after he authored a Law Revue song in which he lamented, “Back when we were both 1-L’s you were in my section/I spent every day in Con Law hiding my erection,” he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives. The good people of Florida reelected him for several more terms before moving on to the State Senate in 2012 (and for which he was reelected in 2014).

Research shows that Chobani yogurt ads served to people searching on Yahoo for “yogurt-related terms” did indeed result in them buying more Chobani. Imagine a human pathetic enough to use the worst search engine and eat the worst Greek yogurt. What a vile and disheartening tableau.

According to records maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration, one of Donald Trump’s airplanes—his 1997 Cessna 750 Citation X jet, which flew as recently as Monday—is not actually registered to fly. The lapsed registration was first reported by the New York Times.

Here’s how Louis Theroux baited members of the Church of Scientology into following him: He started following them. The British journalist probably best known on these shores for his documentaries about the Westboro Baptist Church (The Most Hated Family in America, America’s Most Hated Family in Crisis) says he set out to discover a “different, more positive side” to Scientology when he embarked upon his project over 10 years ago. When it was clear that his access would be limited only to ex-Scientologists like Marty Rathbun, Theroux and director John Dower changed course to stage a series of reenactments a la Joshua Oppenheimer’s 2012 doc The Act of Killing. Using the accounts of ex-Scientologists and a cast of actors, Theroux and Dower recreated things like the alleged abuse by Scientology head David Miscavige toward members of his church in the compound at Gold Base known as “the Hole.”

This notion of “phrases that are worse than meaningless”—let’s discuss it.

New York congressman Peter King said on Tuesday that he would kill himself if Ted Cruz wins the Republican nomination for president.

It’s primary day in New York—did you know you can take two hours off to go “vote” and there’s not a thing your boss can do about it?

After reading a few reports of weirdness at the polls on social media this morning, I did a quick check of the New York State database of registered voters. I registered as a Democrat when I got my driver license renewed in November, so I was sure my name would appear, but I just wanted to make sure. It didn’t appear.

“The sharing economy is here!” we are frequently advised. “We must devise a new labor deal for a new century!” we are warned. So why is making a deal between Airbnb and unions so fucking hard?

On Tuesday morning, Utah Governor Gary Herbert is expected to sign two measures, passed by the state legislature last year, deeming consumption of pornography a “public health crisis.” The legislation purports to ameliorate the “sexually toxic environment” created by porn.

For the first time in the modern primary era, the New York presidential primary election, happening today, is actually important in the races for both the Republican and Democratic nominations. For the conscientious citizen, this is lousy news. You can no longer engage in the beloved New York tradition of just writing in Howard Stern, confident that your vote wouldn’t have mattered anyway.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, whose approval ratings evaporated over the Flint water crisis, this week pledged to drink filtered Flint water for the next month.

It’s primary day in New York, and you no doubt feel ready to cast your vote. But where? Probably your friendly, neighborhood senior center, public school, or rec center, dummy. But find out for sure with this handy tool, you handy tool.

When he’s flanked by a man who kisses his pocket constitution after bedtime soup every night and a racist talking steak, John Kasich enjoys the appearance of being the normal guy of this year’s Republican primary race. As Kasich tells reporters in the video above, he is the candidate “who can actually win in the fall.”
