Oh yeah also mysterious!

This is such an obvious, well-known, long-running issue and no one with the power to do anything about it cares nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/05/z...

The fact that kids look similar to both parents is simultaneously the most self-evident fact in all of human developmental history, and also somehow shocking to me every time.

“That kid looks a little like his mom, and a little like his dad!”, I say gobsmacked as I fall out of my chair yet again

Can’t believe I am going to wash dishes on a Sunday evening while listening in on arguments in federal court, but here we are

Oh hell yeah @nygroove.nyc — no nostalgia in the world like NYC dive bar nostalgia!

However, unexpected dagger through the heart that this is a museum piece 📰

On one hand: furloughed

On the other hand: weekday visit to NY Transit Museum with a 4 year old, hell yeah

Is @hellgatenyc.com or someone else working on the Gen X/Xennial “Bars That Shaped a Generation” oral history feature? I’m hearing Siberia, Continental, Alibi, Fish Bar, so many others…

I lived near Alibi later in my 20s! I was already older than the main clientele, but it definitely had “bar that shapes people” vibe

It was something special! A band I was in played at the second location a few times from like 2004-2007. Fond, fond memories

The only sketchier place my cohort of the era frequented was Desmond’s Tavern on Park Ave, which while superficially less sketchy, is the only place I’ve seen a rat literally fall through the ceiling during happy hour.

I learned a lot about how to be (and how not to be!) an adult in NYC by drinking at Siberia.

Adams Is Going Forward With His 15 MPH E-Bike Crackdown More pre-election pandering and other links to start your day.

The best evidence that this new speed limit is a haphazard, half-assed initiative is that the Adams administration seemingly has no coherent plan for implementing it.

I might be the only other person who has noodled on this exact combination of words.

I tell my kid just about every day: “if this isn’t nice I don’t know what it,” and my greatest hope is to be around when she figures out that’s a quote and the context in which it was originally meant.

Opinion | The N.Y.P.D. Is Teaching America How to Track Everyone Every Day Forever New tools allow law enforcement agencies to track us at an unimaginable scale.

a beautifully illustrated and deeply troubling piece that is well worth your time to read

This is the hat I wear every day.

RIP to an all-time great who led the ensemble cast of one of the greatest caper films of all time.

I first saw Sneakers in college. The year was 1992 and I was 17. They did a special screening on campus because Lawrence Lasker was an alum. Anyway, it was the first movie I saw Robert Redford in and it was CINEMA. Best movie ever. RIP to that handsome unproblematic man.

Ooof

Much like Bean Dad, when my children ask for the tablet I give them a 286 cpu, boot disks for MS-DOS 3.3, and a C:\>

If they can figure out how to get in trouble online from there they’ve earned it 💾

I get that her comms team is just writing what her elderly constituent voting bloc want to hear, but it drives me nuts that she'd dedicate an email to a phantom issue that isn't anywhere near the top 10 problems in her district she could be highlighting.

In bubble chart map of NYC infographic showing the top 10 super speeders by color, with substantial bubbles in every borough including an orange color identifying a white 2024 Kia Forte racking up tickets in Crystal Hudson's district 35.

Crystal Hudson just sent out an email blast telling ebike riders to "SLOW DOWN!"

Where's the email blast to car drivers responsible for 99% of the injuries & deaths?
Where's the outrage about ghost plates?
Or how about the single 2024 Kia Forte terrorizing her district and racking up speeding tix?

Who was the reporter who yelled “what about Sliwa?! Does he have a silver spoon?!”

Ethics Czar

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Holy shit

I literally just learned the history of this poem like a month ago!
