This is messed up. Imagine being one of the firefighters whose job it is to spray water on the tank to try to keep it from exploding. Or one of the 40,000 people who've had to evacuate. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/u...

Welcome back to the bigs, Jonah Tong! #Mets

Going with a little “Americone Dream” for tonight’s dessert. #Colbert

Just got home and checked the late sports news and what? Knicks were down 20 last time I'd looked. www.espn.com/nba/game/_/g...

"Mayor Mamdani has earmarked more than $200MM in new funding in his executive budget for bus lanes, bike lanes and public realm projects over the next four years, continuing to make good on a campaign that centered better and safer ways for NYers to get around." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/19/m...

That was a great game 7. Respect to the Buffalo fans for saluting their team despited the crushing disappointment.

Pardon my French, but how the f**k is that not goaltender interference on Zucker?

"Justice" Department.

Why are Democrats so bad at everything?

Goddammit 😭

I was annoyed that I couldn't find a database of David Attenborough documentaries where I could search for a specific episode by topic. So I made it. attenborough-100.vercel.app

New Yorkers, in large numbers, want to dine outside, and restaurants want to serve them, but the permitting process is ridiculously slow. Kudos to @nyccomptroller.bsky.social Mark Levine for digging into the problem and looking to get it unstuck.

Reminder of something Trump doesn't know but other people should: -Treason carries death penalty -Thus Trump effectively saying NYT people should be executed -Press gaggle response='oh that wacky Trump' -Couldn't *someone* follow up w "Sir, since treason is a capital offense, are you saying..." ?

Brooklynites, please spread the word: The leaders of our local Democratic Party care more about holding up their own corrupt schemes and disenfranchising you, the voter, than they do about beating Republicans. But this June, you can vote to change the party's leadership: brooklyncantwait.com

WATCH AND LEARN: The Tennessee House of Representatives removed Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, Charlane Oliver, Gloria Johnson, and Aftyn Behn from all committee assignments. This is an old tactic from the Reconstruction playbook. It denies political representation to the of people in Tennessee.

Jim Walden seems addicted to losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/n...

LOL OMG "The facility will require about 9GW of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes, and suck up a significant amount of water in an area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Mets are 7-12 at Citi Field in 2026. They are 4-0 in Bark at the Park games, 3-12 without dogs in the house. Make every game Bark at the Park, #Mets.

Our very own @subtle116.bsky.social lays out a compelling argument for why it's time to go big with Bike Buses. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/12/o...

i PROMISE you want to watch the video interview with this hero

Man, what could have been if Jacob deGrom had been able to stay healthy with consistency. Will always be one of my favorite Mets ever. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

Juan Soto is the only batter in the Mets' lineup today hitting above .237, and he's just 13 for 59 since coming off the injured list. Truly inept.

Deuce burying treys in front of what feels very much like a home crowd.

Opening a lucrative PR firm where for $100k I will hand my wealthy clients a note that says “stop commenting for stories like this”

FFS, stop your crying. "Klein described his clients as 'very angry', but conceded the new tax was expected to be relatively minor compared to their overall net worth." www.ft.com/content/3283...

There’s literally nothing that Trump and his idiots don’t ruin. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/u...

Masked federal agents tear gassing & pepper spraying children is a feature, not a bug, of Trump's America. Devastating @propublica.org report about the harm ICE has inflicted on kids. Sickening stuff. You can't reform an agency this evil or violent, you must abolish it.

Nolan McLean is just 16 starts into his major league career and it already feels like he's getting peak Jacob deGrom-level (lack of) run support from Mets batters – and with the DH, he doesn't even get a shot at trying to hit a home run and win 1-0.

God she never f'ing misses.

So long as the Wizards In Robes from the far right authoritarian party are going to completely dispense with even the pretense of complying with the law, the Constitution, & the results of elections, this sort of hardball is going to be necessary to restore democracy & the rule of law.

Congestion pricing is too important a policy to not get right. Creating undue burdens on environmental-justice communities in the state's least healthy county must be addressed more effectively. The MTA & other city & state agencies need to double down on mitigations. gothamist.com/news/congest...

Happy Bartolo Colón Day to all who celebrate! #Mets www.nydailynews.com/2026/05/07/1...

In a functioning society, Kotlikoff would already have been arrested and at least suspended from his position.

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

Insane stretch run. And first-ever KD winner trained by a woman.

Pretty much the only thing that makes me hopeful about the future of journalism is the incredible journalism being done by so many student journalists. Also: Michael Kotlikoff needs to be the *former* President of Cornell University by sunrise.

Less than 2 miles away from here a driver murdered a man this morning by deliberately driving up on the sidewalk and running him over. But “bike activists” need to stop “demonizing” drivers?…..

A humpback whale that was stranded for weeks off the coast of Germany was released on Saturday in the North Sea, the culmination of an elaborate and costly rescue effort that transfixed the nation.

New York State Assembly Speaker appears to be the only obstacle to passing the life-saving Stop Super Speeders bill in the state budget. Call his office at 518-455-3791 and ask him to Stop protecting Super Speeders. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/n...

The safety argument is ridiculous. If anyone wanted to harm a judge, the first place they'd look is the area designated as the judges' parking lot. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/n...

Any driver who receives 16+ speeding tickets in a single year should no longer be allowed to exceed the speed limit. Some of these super speeders — including Office James Giovansanti — have received HUNDREDS of speed camera tickets. New York must slow them down.

Natasha Saada and her two young daughters are just three examples of people who would be alive today if Super Speeders like Miriam Yarimi were compelled to install ISA devices in their cars. What more does @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social need to include this life-saving bill in the state budget?

Did Felix’s first ever Bark at the Park salvage the Mets’ season? Only time will tell, but he did have a very good time. And the Mets won 8-0.

Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

You guessed it: a panicked response to affordability attacks that grants the premise of those Republican arguments! This fucking party, man. The ineptitude. The weakness. The cowardice. The slimy, equivocating, spineless, consultant-humping *cowardice*. How is this our only alternative to fascism?!

Almost every energy utility in the country runs an energy efficiency program that reduces customer bills. The favorite Republican attack on these programs is that they raise costs on ratepayers. The obvious response: but they lower bills much more! So what are Democrats across the country doing?

Presenting this at passport control will get you immediately put on the next flight out in about 160 countries — as it should.

It was a beautiful morning to break ground on Flatbush Avenue's center-running bus lanes, a project that will have enormous benefits for tens of thousands of NYers who rely on the bus to get to work, school, shopping, events, and more. Thanks to @nyc-dot.bsky.social, @mta.info & @mayor.nyc.gov!

Good morning! There's a special election today to fill the vacant seat in Manhattan's 3rd Council District. We've co-endorsed Lindsey Boylan & Carl Wilson, and urge you to give them your top ballot ranks. Learn more about Lindsey & Carl, and find voting info, here: www.streetspac.org/special_elec...
