Many thanks to the pals at worker-led @hellgateny.bsky.social for reprinting my piece from inside the union drive at Death & Co. for their NYC readers:

I just want to live in an apartment where I get to set my own temperature, is that too much to ask?

Jezebel was a good website

Absolutely lost for words, what a ridiculous decision

Meet the E-Bike Using New Yorkers — Normal People Who Want Politicians to Stop Demonizing Them - S... One has bad knees. Another has kids who have to get to soccer. And another buys groceries. They're e-bike users — and they oppose a City Council bill.

"I think the city needs to be doing everything they can to encourage families like mine to consider cargo bikes. For every family that is biking around in a cargo bike is one less family using Uber or god forbid, parking on the street and moving their car."

Yes, it’s the cute eateries that are “destructive to city neighborhoods,” right 😑

I'm going to assume this advice applies to Jalopnik stories as well, right?

Unboxing An $8,000 BMW E-Bike We tear into the box for the BMW 3T Electric Gravel Bike.

This 3T BMW bike is easily the one that's gotten the most interest from New York's cyclists while I've been reviewing it - and I've only ridden it around town twice! Looking forward to hitting some dirty gravel trails with it soon jalopnik.com/unboxing-an-...

Of Course People Don’t Want To Bike To Work Whether it’s cars parked in the bike lane or a lack of secure parking, it’s no wonder people don’t want to cycle to work right now

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that the number of people biking to work in the U.S. is down despite so much being done to expand cycling infrastructure. I had a few thoughts jalopnik.com/of-course-pe...

What’s going to take longer today: flying from Salt Lake City to JFK, or getting from JFK to my apartment amidst the flooding? 🤔 Answers on a postcard

Great, now I'm looking at RenaultSport Clios for sale again. I think that and a T6 camper would be my ideal (but stupid) two car garage right now

Can someone please name a newfound species of something soft, fuzzy and uwu after Harrison Ford, the man is begging you

Brooklyn Coachworks Builds The World's Coolest Defenders Brooklyn Coachworks specializes in custom mods of older Defenders – from making them beautiful to more powerful via even an LS motor swap.

I think from now on I'll try and dress to match all the cars I'm in videos about https://jalopnik.com/inside-a-new-york-garage-that-rebuilds-classic-land-rov-1850736516

Also, not one single duck! Washington, Idaho and Montana, you disappoint me 🐤

You know, I think 1,000 miles is just enough pickup truck for me. I don’t need to drive another one anytime soon 🛻

Update: no ducks just yet 🐤

Finally reached my all-American potential with this, which I’m living in for the next week! Only question remains, how do I get someone to leave a duck on the dash?

The Little Car Company With Big Ideas: Reimagining The World's Most Famous Cars They say never meet your heroes, but what about a 75-percent scale model of your hero?

New from me over on @jalopnik.com I spent an afternoon driving my dream car. Sure, it was a 75% model of my dream car, but it was still awesome 👌 https://jalopnik.com/the-little-car-company-with-big-ideas-reimagining-the-1850685926

I love how northern one of the kids on Sky's junior F1 coverage is this weekend. We need more northern commentators in F1

Just had to check if a press car will come with bear spray or if I'll have to pack my own. This should be one of the more memorable reviews

I thought this rotating house was impossible. Near San Diego, California, there's a rotating house: and somehow, all the utilities, the electricity, gas and water, work even on the rotating part. How's t...
