Better than having to solve crimes and arrest people. Early retirement due to a β€œhurt back”. Better keep those jet skiing photos off of Facebook though!

Bayside Cyclist Zhao Feng Zhen Killed at Queens Intersection: A Tragedy with Many To Blame On Thursday, July 31 at around 2:18 p.m., 55-year-old Bayside resident Zhao Feng Zhen was riding her bike southbound on Hollis Court Boulevard near 50th Avenue in Queens Village when she was struck…

Zhao Feng Zhen deserves justice. She did not deserve to get struck by a driver and left to die in the street. All she was doing was getting around on her e-bike. Thorough coverage from Queens Greenway.

Queen teen driver sentenced on manslaughter, assault charges for killing 14-year-old girl in gruesome collision: DA – QNS A Springfield Gardens teenager was sentenced to 1 β…“ to four years in prison for causing the death of another teen who was a passenger in the BMW he was

Good. The DA also charged the parents, assholes who gave their child a BMW and allowed him to drive despite him not having a driver’s license.

That too. Our culture is what’s bad. Everyone just accepts that filming people at their worstβ€”maybe having a terrible day or off meds or otherwise just melting down bc travel sucks assβ€”deserves to be posted all around the internet for others to gawk and laugh and be mad at.

Just saw the most janky fake license plate on a car on my block. Home-printed paper plate, expires in 2026, no QR code, taped over the front and back of the vehicle (which lacked a registration sticker). Sorry, but NYPD TEAs are such rubes. What a joke.

Bicyclist injured in hit-and-run at Washington Heights intersection, police say Police are looking for the driver who they say hit a bicyclist in Washington Heights on Sunday afternoon and then took off.

Sharrows are bullshit, putting cyclists at risk, and drivers are out of control.
The residents interviewed identify this street and intersection as dangerous, and emphasize that drivers constantly blast through traffic signals. Traffic violence needs to be a priority mayoral issue.

You’re quite welcome. I enjoy making jewelry. If you’re on Reddit, there are other recs on r/beading and r/jewelrymaking

I’d peep the NYC ones in person first.

So, at the beginning of my Air France flight, among the regular crew 🎀 announcements about safety, seat belts etc., they said, β€œplease do not film or take photos of other passengers without their consent.” This is new; I hadn’t heard this before. That it even needs to be said..

Eric Adams, and Dao Yin (who ran for city council in district 20) both preyed on the city’s most vulnerable electorate: immigrant working class voters with limited English proficiency. Absolutely shameful.

Driver arrested after crashing into several vehicles in Midtown, including NYPD cruiser Officers went to stop the vehicle, and it collided with a police cruiser and they say it kept on going.

This is why your insurance premiums are so high. Drivers cause so much damage

See photos from the rally for Victoria Lee, who was fatally shot by Fort Lee police People assembled for a rally for Victoria Lee on July 19, 2025.

Victoria Lee’s family deserves justice. Policy needs to change. Cops should not respond to mental health 911 calls. Cops are not equipped to manage mental health crises situations. All cops do is shoot. Photo by Michael Karas.

Yes to the 2nd. It means that the judge is obligated to release the offender and cannot hold her in jail while she awaits trial. Not bail eligible means it’s not an offense for which bail is required. I *do* think however that judges are allowed to hold offenders if they show they’re a danger.

Recall for example the β€œaffluenza” case in Texas where a young man killed a bunch of people. The judge who let him skate was a Republican. Then DA Katz, who is not a leftist by any measure, let Xing Long Lin’s killer walk with no consequences.

accepting a certain number of
deaths, destruction, and maiming is the β€œcost of doing business.” Consider why e-bikes are the sole focus of any NYC politicians’ platforms. They won’t do a thing to prevent reckless driving bc it’s taboo to do so. Cars represent freedom for so many.

Driver who killed 2 in Chinatown crash was out without bail for April hit-run: NYPD sources Three months before the fatal Saturday crash, the 23-year-old driver allegedly struck a pedestrian in Brooklyn and fled.

Reckless driving is seen as a personal moral failure and an individual choice. Fact is, judges and lawmakers on all sides of the political spectrum are loath to hold drivers accountable and prevent dangerous driving. Pro-car sentiment is just too ingrained in our culture and accepting a certain /
