Predictable story: Too many missed warning signs, too many close calls ignored before the fatal accident. ATC is an overworked and tired time-bomb and it shouldn't take more blood for us to make changes. www.wsj.com/business/air...

I just want to give a shoutout to Ahmed Tigani, the commissioner of DOB. This man was personally workshopping with tenants during the day and then answering questions from the public on his personal Instagram at like 8pm on a Friday. What an amazing choice from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The trend of digging up childhood shitposts from a public official' wife is really dishonest and low. It's cringy as an adult now sure, but this was the slang in 2013 and she was 15. This is exactly why so many folks don't want to run for public office.

Would you look at that... I won the New York City Book Award! www.nysoclib.org/2025-2026-ne...

Imagine a sports bar where all the drinks come pre-roofied

TIL that you can technically go to jail for in NYC for exhibiting a ballet or puppet show from a window.

Bibbi is insane.

My quaint Ditmas Park home owning fantasy has passed away.

Keep in mind that this isn't some quaint side-street we're talking about. Flatbush Avenue is arguably Brooklyn's most central and important thoroughfare. Really insane that there isn't true BRT with busses arriving every 5 mins during the day.

Hot take: "Free" doesn't really help people if it takes 25 minutes for the bus to arrive and then it goes 5 mph. 🕺🏾

“But why are the Dollar Vans on Flatbush Ave so popular?!” 🧐🫨🤨

Idk who needs to hear this but Jay Street is crying out for that new 14th Street energy.

why isn't the Muslim mayor taking this opportunity to talk about how all Muslims are bad?

???

A complete regulatory failure from almost every angle.Tesla is making fools of State and Federal regulators, and people are dying.

Another great "regional metro" concept for the New York City via the @etany.org Unlocking regional transportation will make the area infinitely more livable and affordable.

The surprise and disappointment have not worn off. After spending nearly a decade trying to popularize this infrastructure and trying work w/ @nyc-dot.bsky.social we were completely left behind by the Adams admin. We will have more to share soon.

Marco Rubio seems to be saying that we went to war because Iran has lots of missiles and drones?

Trump is now openly saying that the UK has sharia courts, which is basically a lie. Some communities have their own religious arbitration councils but these are not recognized by the government and have no power-- these are mainly for divorces etc. Btw, we have these in the USA too.

So after spending the last year trashing European allies, replete with threats of invasion and trade ruin, now Trump is mad because they don't want to be dragged into our "preventative" war that they had no say in or advance notice of. k.

FWIW the city should consider re-activating the NYCDOT JCD toilets that have been out of service since I was 12 years old. These were part of the 1998 street furniture contract (bus shelters, newsstands etc) but the self cleaning never worked. www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/03/p...

The current Iranian regime is very brutal to its people and all that but we had no problem propping up the Shah who was also pretty brutal to Iranians. The Humanitarian angle may not be the most credible argument that we can make.

Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it.

Happy @thecity.nyc followed up on this; it should not take NYC 6-12 weeks to pay laborers for snow removal. Often these are people who need the money sooner than later. Really hoping admin can expedite. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/27/s...

NYPD…flimsy charges? Why, I would have never…. gothamist.com/news/manhatt...

Praise be. www.nbcnewyork.com/weather/weat...

Clip of the NYPD's "attempted robbery." I don't think being a prankster excuses you from accountability, but it should disturb folks that official NYPD account is framing this person as a violent criminal when they're just a really annoying prankster that crossed a line. youtube.com/shorts/R6wzl...

I’m not going to excuse his actions but as others have pointed out, it’s really dishonest of NYPD to suggest that this person was arrested for attempted robbery. It was YouTube prank. They’re obviously trying to insinuate that this person has a pattern of violent behavior.

Glad that @nytimes.com covered this. I grew up in NYC and was also fascinated with the subway…I never dared to break into an MTA facility to hijack a train. The thought literally never entered my mind. Huge security risk for all involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/n...

This sounds like a truly horrific idea. No pun intended.

I wasn't always a fan of the Cuomo era livery on NCYCTA busses, but it's really growing on me.

This thread is wild. There are so many PSAs about subway surfing that I guess those in charge forgot to make ones about “hey, don’t hijack a subway car.”

Sorry. Cops are too busy wetting their pants over snowball fights to do hard work.

Yeah it remains wild that we have the Port Authority Police and NYPD anti terror squad walking around like they're in Afghanistan, yet they allow this to happen somewhat routinely.

Pretty crazy that kids continue to hack MTA subways with impunity throughout the system with seeming impunity. The videos are all over instagram. You would think that given the normal security theater in NYC we would be having city council hearings and such, but crickets. 🎥 in 🧵⬇️

I don't think police should be assaulted or w/e, but what exactly does one expect to happen when you walk through a massive snowball fight with snowballs flying in all directions?

I know the temps were warmer and the snow was different but today it just felt like the city (public + private) was just better prepared than last time. Last storm whipped people back up into shape.

POV: Today was the day that your neighbors got to be kids again.

From four days ago lmao.

Prospect Park Vibes rn

I want us to understand this in the context of these same people killed affirmative action using Chinese-American plaintiffs because they said helping Black people was discriminatory against Asian Americans and anti-merit. Once again: it was never about that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Last chopper out of Saigon vibes at key food in Flatbush rn.

Lmao 🤣

Lmao 🤣😑

Whats noteworthy is that the Manhattan bridge trips did not decline. These are *new trips* that would have previously been Ubers or non-trips that are now taking place on bikes.

Hard to believe that just 48 hours ago I was planning for a nice quiet late afternoon brunch on Sunday. This work really came out of nowhere.

FWIW I know several folks who have not been paid for their efforts in the last storm. None of them plan to work this time around. This is hard manual labor, and the City is targeting ppl looking for quick work. Gotta pay on-time.
