Scott Lynch (@scoboco.bsky.social) is hungry all the time and never knows where in New York City he's going to be. Every week, he checks out a new restaurant, writes about it, and adds it to our $20 Dinner Map. No better day out than today to check out the map: hellgatenyc.com/20-dinner-map/
But my favorite pictures from Venice is not cats but this combination that I think of as “missed connections.”
A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

"The data the group released kind of reads as prompts for speculative flash fiction. Like, who is Mister (or Miz, but again, let's be honest, Mister) black 2023 A6, and how did he get $63,000 to burn on speeding tickets...?"

🚨 Big news for the littlest New Yorkers: 2-K is coming.
Starting this year, we’re delivering 2,000 FREE child care seats for 2-year-olds across our city.
By Fall 2027, we'll be ready to serve 12,000 kids.
Grateful to our partner in this work, @governor.ny.gov, for her support.
The city’s speed cameras still let drivers with temporary tags run wild, costing tens of millions in lost fines and incalculable lost safety, because the outside company that operates the system can't obtain vehicle registration information for owners of cars with the paper plates.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
Remember those bright red signs that banned parking from snow emergency routes? Here is the curious story of how New York City abandoned a key component of its snow removal system. buff.ly/mp1vntb

I had a coat with toggles in the 1970's. Loved it but rarely needed it in Hotlanta.
Love the USA outfits. That creamy winter white with the Nordic inspired sweaters plus the leg-warmer cuffs on the pants. Very classy and sporty!
The US Olympics Team wearing duffle coats. Most of them are in white duffle coats. The person in the middle is wearing a navy duffle coat and carrying the US flag. They are wearing them over USA sweaters, white pants with elasticated cuffs, and tan suede hiking boots.
Black and white photo of some men in the British Royal Navy wearing duffle coats on a ship. They are looking out into the distance.
Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery waeirng a duffle coat over a turtleneck sweater. He appears to be reviewing plans.
A Royal Navy officer using a sextant aboard a destroyer on convoy protection duties, 1942. He's wearing a tan duffle coat.
Dig the duffle coats on the US Team. The rope toggles harken back to the original military design when the Allies fought fascists. Manufacturers such as Gloverall switched to leather after the war to make the civilian versions feel more "upscale."

If you bought a new TV for the Super Bowl, make sure you anchor it to the wall.
You as a kid - Puts a piece of plywood over a cinderblock at the bottom of a hill that leads into a gravel ditch that leads into the woods to make a bike jump.
You as an adult - My kid will never do something ridiculous like climb furniture to reach a toy.
a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.
This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Currier and Ives could only dream of capturing such a canonical New England winter scene as well as this.
