someone smarter than i needs to probe the millennial professional underclass resentments at play in the LIRR strike discourse

well, i'm here now because X the everything app won't let me post for some reason

Great writeup from @dmey.bsky.social in today's @nygroove.nyc on the world of COVID-safe dance parties still happening in the city nygroove.nyc/dj-bobbito-g...

Sorry to get on the same soapbox again, but this guy sued the city in addition to the driver because the city can pay out the big bucks and the driver can't, and the reason the driver can't is that US insurance minima are too low.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

I LOVE HER

got harassed on twitter by Sid Rosenberg and John Chell today and all i got was an admission that NYPD won't issue you a traffic ticket if you listen to the right talk show or have the right job nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/25/f...

Look at my accountant dawg, I’m going to jail

I'm wearing my Knicks hat today

Big tech companies like Uber have been spending big to deregulate auto insurance in New York state, at the expense of crash victims, and Gov. Hochul is pushing their cause in the name of "affordability." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/22/c...

Gov. Hochul is pushing an Uber-backed proposal to make it harder for car crash victims to receive compensation for their injuries under the guise of affordability — and with the support of the new mayor. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/14/g...

Unlicensed drivers killed nearly 300 pedestrians, cyclists and motorists on city streets between 2021-2024 — and their percentage share of the carnage soared in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, new city data analyzed by Streetsblog shows.

One of the biggest tells of how blatantly screwed up medicine's mishandling of chronic illnesses is comes from physicians who end up suffering from them pretty much all saying that it's nothing like what they were taught it's like and no one else in the profession is bothered by that.

Streetsblog is not going to be less critical of the mayor just because suddenly it's someone all our readers think is their boyfriend

the zohramp saga seems to indicate the mayor's word/agenda is not only not being followed by NYPD, but actively undermined nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/08/z...

twitter is freaking me out right now i need the warm embrace of the bluesky echo chamber

Mamdani's new DCWP commissioner wants to stop "companies like Instacart and DoorDash" from "bully[ing] their way into record profits on the backs of workers and consumers."

Seems like a pretty cool time to donate to @thesicktimes.org, a newsroom where two of the best humans I have ever met call the shots! the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/

Prospect-Lefferts Gardens was gonna get its first protected bike lanes ever but in one final insult, Eric Adams' DOT kicked the project to next year, hopefully nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/22/a...

VOTE FOR STREETSBLOG ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/22/s...

NYC's DOI finds the Conflicts of Interest Board erred in allowing First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro to remain Madison Square Garden's lawyer while at City Hall without a public waiver. This comes after we first reported Mastro would remain MSG's lawyer: www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/14/d...

That’s basically every ‘no’ vote on City of Yes, plus the votes got by nixing the specific eastern Queens R varieties from the ADU requirements … plus Manhattan. I’d suggest this has the makings of a very anti-building/pro-neighborhood-character Council. (Charter revisions look set to be a *bfd*)

Menin got over $100K spent on her by Uber, $1,600 donation from Tony Argento, $1,000 from Randy Mastro, no response to questions about it:

this sucks. it sucks that menin will even accept her endorsement.

Vickie Paladino's perspective is "We should do the Crusades again"

Menin says she'll work with Mamdani "on a shared agenda that makes New York more affordable." GOP members backing Menin, tho, are likely to look to her to be a check on Mamdani. Vickie Paladino said she's with Menin because she "understands all perspectives." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/26/j...

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF NEW YORK CITY

W. 233rd St. and Broadway, the Bronx, Election Day Eve, 2025

Eric Adams in his lame-duck period doing everything advocates have been asking him to do for years is interesting, to say the least. He's making it so that Mamdani can't claim all these easy wins in January simply be implementing plans Adams has put on ice for 4 years. bsky.app/profile/nyda...
