Artemis II was the most incredible thing I’ve seen in a long time

Nice to get one last photo before we blow ourselves up in a nuclear war

extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

There’s no group of people that I disagree with more than the “we should solve all of our problems at home instead of going to space” crowd.

Space exploration is one of the best things our species does! Have some wonder, curiosity, and hope! It’s incredible!

I just watched Artemis II complete its translunar injection burn, and for the first time in my life there are humans on their way to the moon. So, so, so cool.

This rules

Love to see energy behind Sunnyside Yards. This is the biggest opportunity to transform our city. 180 acres!

NJ to NYC Trains Delayed by 45 Minutes Due to Blocked Tunnel A brutal week for commuters continued Friday with New Jersey Transit rail service in and out of New York’s Penn Station subject to large delays.

Delays like this will become more frequent - and impact more riders - the longer we rely on the North River Tunnel. We need to complete the Hudson Tunnel Project as soon as possible to deliver reliable, modern rail infrastructure that riders can count on.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Huge!

Forget Manhattan — this is New York’s most exciting borough Stylish hotels for under £120, a diverse food scene and some of the city’s oldest buildings — under-the-radar Queens deserves to be better known

NYCB&CH is solid! Most neighborhoods would kill for it. But I stand by Brooklyn Bagel.

The real ones know that cup is from Brooklyn Bagel, which is maybe the best bagel shop in the city. (And despite its name only has locations in Queens and Manhattan, not Brooklyn!)

Legally-mandated Shins concerts in every borough

I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned. Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”

This would be huge

The 5 Golden Rings? They Might be Pheasants The classic holiday carol is heavy on birds. And some believe even the 5 golden rings have an avian connection.

I’m sorry to inform you but the “5 golden rings” gift is, in fact, just more birds. blog.nature.org/2024/12/01/t...

This is great news!

Attention good people!

I’ve also settled on No for #6. Good arguments either way, but I think it’s ultimately better to keep NYC elections separate from the Presidential cycle.
