Every single line in this post is a lie. That’s quite an achievement.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

My favorite scene from The Manchurian Candidate brilliantly explains why liars like Trump don’t care about the wild numbers they fabricate. Watch Angela Lansbury explain the perverse logic behind it and why it works.

Obligatory complaint about the useless, humorless NBC studio suits talking about the #TdF - is this finally the year I get off my ass to set up a VPN?

Our Constitution bans foreign emoluments and names bribery as an impeachable offense. Another case where the problem isn’t the Constitution.

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

Pedestrianizing a main street spine in central Reykjavík was controversial with businesses when it was first done, so they made it a summer pilot. They kept it that way, a pilot, for over a decade, and then went ahead and made it year-round and permanent. No big deal. No controversy. People like it.

Hope it’s effective. Hope it sticks

NEW: City Council is expanding transit discounts to 340,000 more New Yorkers, as part of the budget agreement. The program, Fair Fares, will now be available to 1.3 million bus, subway and paratransit riders www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/n...

This former Ave B resident approves making it a low traffic street! It would be bold if the city would do similar changes in many more places, including those that don’t have a 6 year open street precursor It’s just a few 1-way direction changes to make a street unattractive as a thru-route for 🚘🚛

Who are you willing to sacrifice @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social?

love riding to work or the grocery store and getting to wonder if today is the day i get killed on bedford

This was two blocks of the Bedford bike lane earlier this month, and this doesn’t include the guy I saw drive the wrong way up it and park there.

“We do a Watergate twice a day” is a crazy way to confess your own corruption…

Mr. Mayor, you're their boss. Get your employees in line.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are you gonna knock heads & stop city agencies from flouting your administration’s stated policies? More important than sports videos

I’m sure secure bike parking integrated into station design was discussed

End car dependency

One way to think about street design in NYC is as a series of evolving workarounds for the fact that cops aren’t expected to do anything

Been watching operation of the new northern segment of the McGuinness Blvd road diet. S-bound traffic backs up further onto the bridge as 2 lanes merge to 1, but that’s fine. There’s ample room on the bridge for that. Intersections along McG are working well & bike lane 🚛 blocking seems much less

MTA chair calls Amtrak's Penn Station plan 'bizarre,' declines to join as partner gothamist.com/news/mta-cha...

Because as long as they keep talking about "% of pre-COVID ridership" transit agencies are being unfair to themselves. Even if this number hits 100% someday, it won't be because they are "back". It will mean wholly different markets have developed. 5/

The press release announcing the pre-development agreement for Penn Station once again glosses over the fact that availability payments (payments made by the Penn tenant railroads) are part of the plan to pay for the facelift nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/09/a...

The MTA believes its lease gives it a strong say in station changes, so has little incentive to come to a table fraught with Trump- and big real estate-related bullshit

Just put the cat in charge already!

Bike lane reviews! 💪 More please

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

POV new separated cycle lane, westbound uphill Clerkenwell Road. @camdencouncil.bsky.social is really setting the benchmark in London. @willnorman.co.uk

Going to be harder for Trump to whine when some of his biggest backers in the media and politics have the knives out for his Iran deal. Once a consensus has been reached, you can’t roll it back however much you lie and rant.

A real comment from a bike lane meeting I attended

Why does the mayor keep waving his hand at the issue instead of just shutting it down? The carriages conduct business on city property. There's power to just do it

Now do everyday

Bike share should be affordable. Public funding should come with more scrutiny of Lyft’s operation of CitiBike & much more info about who uses it & how. Aggregate ridership totals are only a small part of the picture

The city transportation department plans to install a protected bike lane to fill in one of the most glaring gaps in Brooklyn’s cycling network: gothamist.visitlink.me/g_hnou

DOT may point to E Midtown rezoning as something that locks in 6 🚘 🚙 lanes, but that can be overcome with some willpower

Two Manhattan community boards are calling on the DOT to remove another car lane on Park Avenue to create a separated bike lane, so that cyclists and pedestrians have their own space in the redesign. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/16/p...

Asked by the TSA agent whether they'd had a nice time in San Antonio, another Knicks fan just let out a long cackle, wiped their eyes, and said it was the best night of his life. Read our dispatch from San Antonio:

"I want the politicians to know that we don’t have to wait for the next death to happen in order to create the impetus to change," Alex Pawlowski, the best friend of the cyclist killed in a head-on crash on the Queensboro Bridge last month, told Streetsblog.
