I get the MTA getting rid of the MetroCard. Swiping sucks a$$. However, not everyone has a debit/credit card or a phone. They should at least replace with some kind of tap card like EVERY OTHER subway system has. This way, you have an option for students, elderly and the homeless
Yup
I’ve heard downstate used elsewhere as well but can’t remember where. Never hear upstate though
Well, inflation is up and the stock market is down. At least we’ve cancelled medical research and fired tens of thousands of people so we can give the money to FElon’s companies
Don’t forget Freecycle.org!
At least they didn’t jack up the price of eggs they don’t have
I need eggs. One of my primary sources of protein and my favorite snack
You mean Central Murika and South Murika?
I have respect for journalists but the actual media is focused on shock, awe and clicks. Thus we get a million reports on the same little bit of information on the plane crashes and nothing else
Now that I no longer live in NYC, the argument about what is considered "upstate" has expanded to "western New York". My view was always this picture. But now I also wonder, do any other states use the term "upstate"
Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration?
👀 👎
that's because he has something to say!
As a photographer, it’s hard to find a platform that can help me with reach. Bluesky is a bit random with who sees my stuff.
I figure it might just be better for our mental health.
debating whether to not log into social media (except Bluesky) for the next four years and just post my concert photos to Instagram via 3rd party apps. Positives/negatives?
• X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get X-Men. • Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Black Panther. • Captain America literally fought the Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Captain America. • The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance is Anti-Fascist. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Star Wars. • The Punisher isn't meant to be a role model for police or armed forces. So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn't get that, you didn't get The Punisher. • Deadpool is queer. He's pansexual. Fact. If you didn't get that you didn't get Deadpool. • Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races, and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women's right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances
I don’t know who wrote this, but it’s absolutely perfect
are we currently in a pandemic? i stopped attending events until Sept 2021 and was masked well into 2022. that would have zero to do with the conversation about Teslas. Musk does some really stupid stuff but these posts about emergency release are idiotic
Looks like BlueSky is no better than X in spewing nonsense. Window controls are the same as in any car. Emergency manual release for the driver/front passenger doors are a manual latch that most people who've never been in a Tesla automatically reach for. The "automatic" shifter is the real problem
Make sure you’re registered to vote and you can also win a trip to Nashville to see Mitski perform!!

two regulations that would be an utter no brainer in a sane country:
1) progressive vehicle weight tax that increases steeply past 5k pounds
2) grille height limit of 1.25m
lol, you think we've reached the nadir? MAGA says "hold my cup"
Neil, you have the utmost patience
We must learn from history so that we do not repeat it.
Screenshot of a post by Acyn ('@Acyn' on the social platform 'X'). The post says: 'Neguse: Republicans have had a majority in this house for 11 months. And what do they have to show for it... an effort to default on our nation's debt, two attempts to shut down the government. Vacating their own speaker and now a baseless impeachment'
Rep. Neguse speaks the truth, and we all should listen.
You can say Substack should host Nazis, but don't pretend there's some "free speech" principle to it. Substack has a strict ban on pornography. Welcoming Nazis while banning sex workers isn't a principled stand, it's a choice, an expression that you like the former and dislike the latter.
unfortunately, actual data won't convince all those deniers who "feel" like everything keeps getting more expensive
