Wild that the New York Times writes an entire article about the Grand Army Plaza redesign seemingly without looking at the actual design. Three quotes from greenmarket vendors worried about being able to maneuver trucks when the curb cuts to do so are very obvious.
Les passagers.
I think a lot of people want “material conditions” to include things like ‘never had to see a black person’ and ‘thing I don’t like never comes up’ and also ‘I don’t ever get challenged by my children’
None of which are things that are fixed by economic policies!
Can’t you get these from work
“These antisemitism laws prevent me from saying what I *REALLY* want to say” kind of tells the whole story there.
*gasp!*
Or I guess more accurately
*performs expression of shock and covers mouth with hand!*
It’s not that complicated. You know what’s complicated?
Planning two weddings.
Woooooo
Is it real now‽
I died.
I wish op-eds about NY’s proposed pied-a-terre tax were intellectually honest when they said that it would “drive the wealthy away.”
How can you drive away someone who already doesn’t live here?
In actuality, they mean that people do functionally live in NYC but don’t pay taxes here.
Careful now, the Belgians will get inflated egos.
And often faster too.
One of the things I love most about NYC, and something I cherish, is walking, biking and taking the subway. It’s actually superior to being in a car whenever you have the choice.
My guess is that it’s simply designed to move people across the bridges as efficiently as possible.
The wheels belong on something… sportier.
You may interpret this as "firefighters who park in the bike lane but consider themselves the last defense against injury in the city"
Of course, we know that the majority of those with concealed tags in Manhattan are those we consider "worthy" — stewards of the public trust who refuse to actually fulfill the obligations that they claim give them privilege.
If the political classes cared about toll evasion for the rich as much as they cared about fare evasion for the poor, the cops would set up checkpoints within lower Manhattan and stop any car with a concealed, invisible, or temporary tag and issue fines to the drivers.
It's almost as if there's a distinct socioeconomic and racial difference between the fare evaders on busses and the toll evaders on highways and the entire difference is just accountable to the base socioeconomic differences in those two kinds of travelers.
Fare enforcement continues to exist in this manner because people (read: the political class in NYC) pearl-clutch about bus riders not paying the fare but shrug when drivers conceal their plates.
The RETVRN era of going back to primary training in prop planes so people stopped lawn darting themselves.
A Toyota 4Runner sits parked in a bike lane. The hazard flashers are on. A cloth covers the license plate, concealing it entirely from observers.
Why drivers have collectively lost the presumption that they will behave in neighborly, non-antisocial ways, exhibit 9856.
Spotted yesterday, directly in front of a police precinct.
This makes sense — it's the shape of those strips of gyro meat you get in industrially-manufactured food kits, which I am sure is what's in the deep freeze somewhere in the bowels of these ships.
One thing this commentary forgets to mention is that the rumors of "untoward interest" are very highly correlated with coercive & abusive behavior at a minimum, if not outright assault.
The rumormill doesn't spin up if you cheat on your wife in DC, because the women around you don't need a warning.
Yes, it's just one guy and well known for posting AI slop as news
Oh finally
Given @chiosse.bsky.social in the background and the map, I assume they're announcing which community boards will be getting containerized trash next
The map shows Bronx CBs 2 & 5, Manhattan CBs 2 and 9, Queens CB2, and Brooklyn CBs 2 & 8.
CB8 is split between Ossé and Hudson's districts.
Is that... McNair?
