WE WON BITCHES

Congestion pricing is an unqualified success in NYC. It would be great to see it expanded to every city with decent public transit options. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NEW: Mayor Mamdani chose the third full day of his tenure to announce that he will complete the full safety redesign of deadly McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint — a project that was created under Mayor Bill de Blasio, but watered down by Mayor Adams in a corruption scandal. buff.ly/T2rESWz

It will be studied how Seamless lost the heart and soul of New York City

I wrote a newsletter so good that people want to work with me 🥹

Why is the new york subway so much louder than the Paris Metro?

I've been jetlagged for so long that I'm not sure I'll ever feel not tired again.

posted some barcelona photos yef.im/portfolio/20...

After using my Apple Wallet for all my Paris Metro tickets, I was forced to buy a reloadable physical card to get my airport ticket. One final micro FU from the French as God intended.

Me on vacation

I'm traveling in Europe through Thanksgiving and 2 things are striking me: how few American tourists there are and how obsessed every European city is with Black Friday

im definitely using zod incorrectly, the typescript ecosystem frustrates the hell out of me with its wacky ducktyping. It lets me make too many mistakes while also being overly constrained.

some cemetery photos I took with @exch.gr last month yef.im/portfolio/20...

I'm adding the photos I take to my website. Coming soon!

I would simply quit before publishing this copy change. Have some self respect

Me when I agree with the community: "the people most affected say VOTE YES" Me when I disagree with the community: "let's listen to the experts"

When you first start biking in the city, you are afraid of other bikers / mopeds / e-bikers. It is only with experience do you learn to fear the automobile.

ok i'll bite who is bill ackman

Do the us gov accounts have more blocks than follows?

Canva continues to offer me free trial after free trial hoping that one day I forget to cancel but I stay vigilant

Some of the urbanism happening in New York City…is stunning.

Eastern parkway to sf panhandle please

Does gentrification lead to more or less car dependence?

Why did they make the Slack app icon blurry?

Who should I meet in Henderson, NV?

perhaps the best email filter to ever exist

Introducing the Bushwick Wiggle

some days you're the hater, and other days you're the waiter

It's so embarrassing to have a lame duck mayor

Don't be fooled. Adams is holding out for the Turkey ambassador position.

Mamdani: We need to make public transportation so good that “no matter how much money is in your pocket, you say: I’m gonna use this.”

In 2021, PS110 teacher Matthew Jensen was killed in a hit-and-run on McGuinness Blvd, the site of countless injuries and deaths. Led by @emilyassembly.bsky.social + Make Mcguinness Safe, Greenpointers thought they had won a street redesign — until Adams admin corruption halted work.

With Eric Adams dropping out of the mayoral race (not yet confirmed but cmon folks), the dealings under the table have never been more apparent.

I'm going to react conf in October!

ironic that Mamdani did the scavenger hunt because Adams has already shown he’d be pretty good at it

I'm in this picture and I like it

This morning we gathered on McGuinness Blvd. After a beloved Greenpoint teacher was killed in a crash, the local community thought they had won a transformative redesign of this dangerous road — then the work was halted by City Hall corruption. As Mayor, I’ll finish the job.

“I demand the sum of twelve dollars so that we can once again make this street a dangerous death trap for running over children in their way to school.”

Come grab some free books at Bedford Ave & Nassau Ave in Greenpoint!

I'm hosting a little book giveaway on a temporary plaza tomorrow at the northern tip of McCarren Park that we call the Bedford Slip, come thru if you're in Brooklyn!

While we're cancelling advertisements, can we cancel the Dove ad of the dude spraying his genitalia that's playing over and over on the subway, so gross

What if "bicycle street, cars as guests" were the starting point for all streets?

I want to do "man on the street" interviews but ask drivers where they're driving to and from

Mamdani needs to bring the Flyaway bus to New York
