I’m finding all of the books I currently have on loan from the library extremely diverting and eminently readable. fortune smiles on me

Whats noteworthy is that the Manhattan bridge trips did not decline. These are *new trips* that would have previously been Ubers or non-trips that are now taking place on bikes.

I have a seen a huge increase in people - across all demographic categories - walk on a mostly empty train and plop down in seat 2 (and stay there!), which I find to be deeply antisocial behavior

I have this on CD lol - it’s called “galactic funk”

WITNESS!

Thank you to everyone who came out for a Citi Bike victory lap around Bay Ridge yesterday!

Worth doing a compare/contrast between Cuomo and Hochul on this, and Cuomo does not come out favorably

Kinda wild that Mamdani and Sliwa are the guys who won their primaries and there has been open, nonstop meddling to overturn that will of the voters and install the disgraced former governor and it’s largely being covered like this is perfectly normal shit

Thank you! Also, great news!

So, you wrote “Amtrak is adding back one train NYP-ALB and capping prices at $99”. Is Amtrak capping prices for all NYP-ALB or only the one being added back?

Capping at $99 for all trains from NYP-ALB? Or only the new one?

I once made a passport photo/renewal appointment in Brooklyn, showed up on time and when I got there the they said they didn’t do passport photos at that location. Then why could I book one online?!! Sooo frustrating. AND it was pouring rain.. I had to leave and angry cry a little bit outside.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."

In Brooklyn, a Palatial House on the Market for $25 Million

This house is two blocks from the 77th St. Subway station.

We can’t build apartments here because of the 1978 Special Housing District and 2005 Bloomberg downzoning, so instead a dentist who got rich doing insurance fraud built a mini Versailles.

DOT crews adding a pedestrian refuge area at 96 St & Marine Ave

Good morning to @nyc-dot.bsky.social, who are hard at work improving visibility, extending sidewalks and shortening crossing distances on Marine Ave.

really ghastly having to eat romaine lettuce when I know how good iceberg lettuce is

NYC the greatest city in the world, more at 11

Cuomo’s car parked (illegally) outside union HQ.

I asked a cop nearby if it was parked illegally. He said “yes.”

Why? “Because it got two tickets already”

@citibike might (finally) come to Bay Ridge! But, first, we need your help to make sure neighborhood NIMBYs don't block the expansion plan

Take action to makes sure the planned Citi Bike expansion isn’t blocked or delayed by neighborhood NIMBYs
