This was just a quirky little side quest when i did it two years ago, but is looking increasingly relevant today www.instagram.com/reel/DXNEUU_...

Here's a neat Janes Walk on May 3 from @mosesnyc.bsky.social and @rpa.org tracking part of the IBX route in Brooklyn: www.mas.org/events/inter...

Today's Grand Army Plaza reminds me of the one time I was the main character on that other site... x.com/MosesNYC/sta...

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

You have an FC St. Pauli jersey sitting in your closet, I cannot believe I have to miss both legs of Rayo v AEK Athens, we are not the same.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

.@nytimes.com has declared @mosesnyc.bsky.social as an official "observation deck aficionado." (Huge for us) Here's Moses talking to them about NYC's newest, free deck, the Municipal Building:

"Under the existing tax code, an Upper West Side building with 16 apartments had an annual tax bill of $50,000 in 2017. After it was converted [into a single-family home] the levies dropped to just $12,000." 🤦 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

My immediate answer was “yes” but then after gaming out a possible run-of-show it has changed to “I’m not sure.”

Again: these idiots obviously saw that one episode of The Wire.

Every ICE agent should be put in jail for the rest of their lives.

He’s opening it so that people can get amazing panoramic city views for free rather than paying 30 or 40 bucks to go to 30 rock or the Empire State building. King shit

And big thank you to @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social for a final nudge on this issue! www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/fre...

Thank you to everyone who made this happen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpGR...

A true layup for the ADL which will say nothing about this because Greenblatt is a Kapo.

Big thank you to @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social & everyone who indulges my particular quixotic quest here www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/fre...

It's unfortunate that Indiana Jones was radicalized by the radical left media into obstructing and harassing federal agents who are simply performing their duty.

The scam PAC Democrat grifter operations have to end. ActBlue needs to do some minimal vetting of these entities raising funds under their name.

I saw my third cousin (who is very famous) at a coffee shop downtown but he seemed busy so I didn’t bother him.

True but also Gracie Mansion is definitely haunted

Your weekend listening just dropped — the latest episode of RPA Radio is now live. Moses Gates interviews Vlada Kenniff, president of New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust, about the work Trust does to preserve public housing in NYC. Listen: https://bit.ly/4oSGHHz

Terrific project

I am once again re-upping my most rock-solid NYC prediction, that the BQE will fall down within my lifetime.

Moral of this story is that squatting is legal… if you’re rich enough and famous enough — www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/n...

If I’m understanding these ppl correctly, all it takes to deter lethal and sexual violence is an almost-never-enforced $2.00 cover charge? That seems like a far more efficient solution to crime than Musk’s Personal Robot Stalker.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

Also - this talk is all very rich considering it’s coming from people who kvetch for a living.

Granted there are no real specifics but the model it seems like he’s proposing - decision-making and accountability remain with the Mayor, while other structures provide input and transparency - is a proven and effective good-governance model.

It’s worth considering how an Andrew Cuomo mayoralty would objectively be a disaster and everybody knows it—especially his backers. But they don’t give a shit about the day after, only thwarting the rise of any potential alternative. A striking demonstration of the nihilism of the political centre.

“Low-density zoning and ULURP were not designed to protect tenants, they haven’t protected tenants in the past two decades, and they won’t protect tenants in the future. If we want [social housing], we need to build it — and we need to change the rules to make that possible.” Let’s go! Yes on 2-5!

These guys kind of had me going a little bit until the called Medicare for All, which polls at 60%+ approval, “unpopular” and gave away the game.

Once again, I am re-upping my most rock-solid NYC prediction: that the BQE will fall down within my lifetime. gothamist.com/news/time-is...

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

It’s so hilarious how they all obviously just watched that Wire episode

Just say “frightens me,” no need to bring the rest of us into your mishegas.

“As the [Canal St.] operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous and growing crowd of counter-demonstrators, who heckled them to leave New York City and called them Nazis.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Probably important for Democrats to understand that Jewish voters don't buy Trump's bullshit because we're not fucking idiots.

Some temporary good news on the housing front: the GOP and GOP-adjacent electeds' suit against the housing ballot proposals was quickly dismissed this afternoon. As always, worth noting who is fighting the hardest against these and the methods they are resorting to.

Come hear me talk about one of my three favorite things (the Paris Catacombs) tomorrow evening at Nerd Nite nyc.nerdnite.com
