Looking through the Epstein files and seeing his deep ties — financial and otherwise — with AI pioneer Marvin Minsky of MIT. Which reminds me of a quote attributed to Minsky: “An ethicist is someone who sees something wrong with whatever you have in mind.” www.jmail.world/person/marvi...

Mayor Mamdani must end the scourge of parking placard abuse, which has drowned New York City in illegally parked cars for more than a decade.

was worried for a second, but I guess the vastly intelligent alien race that built this super weapon must’ve died a long time ago. makes you wonder how scary their enemies were, to justify making something this powerful, huh? anyways, let’s activate it or whatever

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

In an otherwise fine essay about the revolt against conventional governing and legal processes, what a dopey bit of trend-inflation to lump “GLP-1 shortcuts for weight loss” in with DOGE, ICE raids, summary deportations and A.I. plagiarism in the first paragraph. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/o...

NEW: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will hire Mike Flynn, a longtime presence in New York City transportation planning, as commissioner of the Department of Transportation, the Mamdani transition team confirmed to Streetsblog. buff.ly/f7612wn

@nytimes.com travel advice...My rough calculation is average of $875 per night to stay at these "wellness" retreats, whilst being "intentional". www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/t...

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today. So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

The NYPD will continue to park on the sidewalks in front of their precincts, everyone else be damned.

Lower Broadway near Canal. Heavy police presence as street is closed but street-market thriving nearby. I fear @nypdnews.bsky.social inviting back ICE. @nyc.streetsblog.org

They are carrying your water @nytpitchbot.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/o...

Exceptional reporting here - and, the @nytimes.com graphics department is indispensable. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Yeah. No one is leaving: apple.news/Ap0j21HjYRke...

This line from an @nytimes.com NEWS ARTICLE about Newsom / Prop 50... "He’s a product of arguably the most liberal state in the country and a promoter of policies that are seen as out-of-touch with many voters." First, maybe Governor not "product". Second, attribution or writer/NYT opinion?

Average annual tuition at LSU for in state residents is around $12,500… So a termination package equal to annual tuition of about 4,300 students. Seems fair. apple.news/ALl3s_PuxRZe...

Smart reporting here by @nyc.streetsblog.org about the ICE raids on Canal and the absence of any NYPD response. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/27/u...

If Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor — and is true to his vision for a fair, livable city — he will have to take on this long-ignored corridor. Here's how.

Great piece here on the upside down world of Kimlau square - despite overwhelming percentage of use by pedestrians (many, Chinatown's elderly residents), most of the space is given to cars. We need more than one "village" in NYC. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/22/c...

In Queens's 19th Council District, we endorse Ben Chou, a NYC firefighter challenging Vickie Paladino. He supports completing the district's greenways, expanding hardened daylighting, adding a Bayside ferry route, and increasing LIRR service. More about Ben here: www.streetspac.org/2025_nyc_gen...

Important reporting here on clash with Ice on Canal Street. To local residents/observers (I am one) this conflict was inevitable. Hopeful our new Mayor (all in for Zoron) will act to transform Canal Street for the better of NYC and its residents. @transalt.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/22/w...

@npr.org I think your framing of "advocates divided" on free buses is misleading. Free buses may not be a top priority - but all advocates for free bus rides also support increased funding, frequency and reliability. This is why we have congestion pricing! apple.news/Af_hj0kkoR8m...

Excellent piece on a boondoggle averted. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/14/s...

Best combination of a terrible headline and a great article I've seen in a while. Click-bait put to a good use. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

Not sure "windfall" captures the essence here... Maybe "ends" or "cut" or "wetting the beak"... www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

There is exactly one way to rapidly cut pollution at scale, save money both at the govt and household level, and do it without federal help. The best fastest thing to do on climate is to just make cities safer for walking and biking. That's it. Every climate person should be working on this.

First, add keep off grass sign. Next, add grass.

Under no circumstances should a truck of this size be permitted on NYC streets or across our bridges. This is Canal street. @streetspac.org

For the first time in 6 years I shall live on a street with sidewalks unburdened by scaffolding. @nyc.streetsblog.org @streetspac.org

Seems an unimpressive goal these days we can live forever.

Sidewalks are no longer for walking. This is Broadway between canal and Walker every day and all day into the night. @nyc.streetsblog.org @streetspac.org

West side of Broadway - sidewalk; East side of Broadway - no sidewalk. It’s getting more and more ridiculous each day. @streetspac.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Yes. Riding bikes (incl. e-bikes) is a safe activity made dangerous by cars. Walking too!

This success is credited to lower speed limits, improved public transport, and thoughtful street planning. Decades ago, the city saw dozens of fatalities each year. Now, safer roads and better infrastructure have made a real difference.

Maybe the city should give the vendors parking spaces so we can have the sidewalks? A disabled person, the elderly are basically denied sidewalks in and around Canal Street. It’s a joke. @nyc.streetsblog.org @streetspac.org

In every known universe drivers care more about cars than pedestrians. YES! Ithttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-08-05/all-hail-the-humble-speed-hump-the-best-cheap-traffic-safety-fixcmpid=BBD080525_CITYLAB&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=250805&utm_campaign=citylabdaily
