Today is a great day to buy a New York Groove beach towel, just 30 buckaroos! vcudyr-j3.myshopify.com

This tone reminds me of how private waste management was on Staten Island when I was growing up. Also landscaping. You'd be like hey can I hire you? They'd ask where you live and then politely demur, saying someone else "has that area."

Unrelated but Paul Castellano's mansion was on Staten Island.

dad joke incoming.

this is a great opportunity and people are dying to get in.

Someone make me a T-shirt that says, “My kid dunked @davecolon.bsky.social at the @nygroove.nyc fundraiser”

This is horrifying.
It’s not yet at levels of Madres de la Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, but it is giving those vibes.

In front of a Manhattan ICE office, a fence is covered in photos of vanished immigrants 'In what country do you recall students being black bagged off of a street? Not one person ever says the United States of America.'

"Our safety is in our solidarity. Simple acts of dissent like putting up a sign or flowers for those who've disappeared or died in ICE custody is a gesture that's more than just the act of putting up a sign or flowers. It's an act of dissent." nygroove.nyc/lower-manhat...

How exactly does management expect to make good on this promise when we don’t have a politics OR metro editor and no beat reporters to cover Albany, housing, immigration or the White House?

This is getting fucking ridiculous lu.ma/d7ezvow1

Backstage at Miss Subways, reckoning with a changing city Contestants say the former 'everygirl' beauty contest 'could reflect the city better' in its current form.

This is a great backstage dispatch from @jessjoseph.bsky.social on the rebooted Miss Subways pageant, America's first integrated beauty pageant that some say has recently struggled with representing the diversity of the city. Only in today's @nygroove.nyc nygroove.nyc/miss-subways...

These are all over LA too.

If you’re a NYer of a certain age—here on 9/11—photos of the missing posted on surfaces downtown will put a cold pit in the bottom of your stomach.

It should.

“But here we’re not dealing with the aftermath of a terrorist attack, it’s an attack by our own government.”

Superb piece: "But here we’re not dealing with the aftermath of a terrorist attack, it’s an attack by our own government."

In front of a Manhattan ICE office, a fence is covered in photos of vanished immigrants 'In what country do you recall students being black bagged off of a street? Not one person ever says the United States of America.'

posters of missing persons in Lower Manhattan inevitably conjure 9/11, but instead of terrorist attacks, this time it's our own government gleefully terrorizing immigrants for sport.
