Side note: I'm not sure why they renamed Idlewood to JFK after his assassination. The guy was from Massachusetts. He didn't have any direct ties to NYC.

Can we pass a law banning naming major infrastructure projects like airports, bridges and train stations after politicians? (at least living ones)? I believe some other countries have done something akin to that. It's still called the Tappen Zee Bridge btw.

i swear to god i do not want to have to consider it possible that jeffrey epstein personally caused the 2008 financial crisis

NYC is barely a democracy

Highest commuter rail fares in the nation btw 👍

The city would be doing people a huge financial favor by charging for parking and encouraging them to get rid of their cars. If people can leave them sitting in a row like this covered in show for over a week, they don’t need them and are wasting their money and should get rid of them.

Hopefully proof-of-payment, but we all know that's not gonna happen.

I'm not dealing with this. I'm just going to buy paper tickets from now on. Hopefully someone finds an exploit in the meantime.

The fact that retail stores in the US aren't legally required to post prices without the sales tax included is an anomaly. The fact that they're not legally required to post prices at all is straight up anti-consumer.
Same thing with high-end restaurants. I know the food is expensive but tell me!

Be Amazon driver.
Jam out to your favorite tunes while working your route like literally anyone else who drives for a living.
Get all your deliveries done on time.
Next day you get fired because the AI says you acted too human.

We're all going to hell.

I’m just going to go back to using paper tickets while I still can.

Great overview of how it's going:

$ for transit
Manhattan economy thriving
Less pollution
Some 🚛 traffic pushed to nights
Fewer injuries

I mean, this is pretty much the real answer. The veneer is becoming more and more transparent as each year goes by. Not that the MTA is going to do anything about it.

A group of Peruvian shamans gathered on a beach in southern Lima to perform their annual New Year ritual, delivering predictions for 2026 that included the fall of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a serious illness for US President Donald Trump

. @thelirrtoday.com may disagree.

Whats wild is that you can fly to Asia from NYC on some airlines for like €100-€200 more.

I was going to ask what airline you prefer when flying from the US to Romania (and vice-versa). Obviously HiSky is the most direct (and a weird route all things considered). But is it the cheapest?

Blakeman is certain to lose. The question is whether he can sling enough mud against Hochul to hurt the Democrats on down-ballot races in the legislature, Congress, and local races in the suburbs.

Taipei, Taiwan has a metro that is entirely OPTO, but the Wenhu (Brown line) is Z(ero)PTO. It's entirely automated, doors and all. Yet manages to transport over 100,000 people safely per day. Of course, staff at stations can always override it if a technical problem occurs.

The city (and state) that can't.

Residential NO. 18 / FAAM Office Completed in 2023 in Shiraz, Iran. Images by Arash Akhtaran. The main concept of this project is "Continuity," which is formed from the external body and continues to the interior. The nature of this ...

Maybe some day the US will be as wealthy as Iran and we will be able to afford to install elevators in three-story apartment buildings www.archdaily.com/1037070/resi...

Bluesky is a nursing home for people who know what firewire is

ok this is cool. dubai has 248 buildings >100m tall so a drone that can apply water at 200m is a pretty good idea. sorry about the burj khalifa tho

I have a feeling that if the BQE disappeared overnight life in NYC would continue to function as if nothing happened. People kept saying the sky would fall once congestion pricing went online and people just... dealed with it?

This is why I carry a Passport Card in my wallet, (which is statutory proof of citizenship!) Not that ICE thugs will care.

I never tip more than 20%. Under any circumstances. No, I am not sorry.
