27 cities is far too few to sum up all the world’s beauty. But we have taken a stab at highlighting some supremely spectacular places, from the remote beaches of the Caribbean to the cultural capital of Japan. 

Some cities are hubs for contemporary architecture, while others have preserved a time long past. A number of places on this list are densely populated, while at least one has a population in the mere thousands, a nod to Aristotle’s criteria. Read on for our list of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The potential for a new era in American political life now
rests on Zohran Mamdani, who is much more than The 
youngest mayor in the history of New York City.

The Ugandan-American, born to Indian parents in Kampala
34 years ago, brings a special brand of populist political
thinking, social media savvy, and genuine sophistication.

As Americans continue to weigh major life decisions amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty, having location-specific benchmarks can help individuals and families make more informed, sustainable choices. It’s also a useful tool for employers, policymakers, and planners aiming to align wages and resources with the realities of daily life nationwide.

Slow down, NYC. You are moving too fast. Speed limits on road traffic, as used in most countries, set the legal maximum speed at which vehicles may travel on a given stretch of road. Speed limits are generally indicated on a traffic sign reflecting the maximum permitted speed, expressed in kilometres per hour, miles per hour, or both.

A very lively and combative final debate for New York City mayor underscored Andrew Cuomo’s last-ditch shot as he seeks to stop frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s efforts to win City Hall. The former governor and the Republican nominee, Curtis Sliwa, teamed up to attack Mamdani on his inexperience, his dodging of questions, and his criticism of Israel. But the democratic socialist counterpunched and drew viewers’ attention to the sexual harassment allegations that drove his rival from office four years ago.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
~1984, George Orwell
The Republicans are trying to manufacture an image of an irredeemably violent American left. They think voters will forget about January Six by attempting to rewrite history. https://amp.miamiherald.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article312527…

NYC UP FOR GRABS

Polls largely underestimated Zohran Mamdani’s support in the Democratic primary for the New York City mayor, illustrating once again just how difficult it can be to accurately poll primary elections. While most polls did not show Mamdani leading in the first round of balloting, they did appear to show him gaining support in the final weeks of the campaign. He ultimately won with more than 56 percent of the vote after ranked-choice tabulation.
