Delighted to share the final, full cover of "Work in Progress." I'm so grateful to @harperonebooks.bsky.social and the designer Julia DiMarzo-Cohen for a fun cover!

Fun fact: today is the 97th anniversary of “Steamboat Willie” Who says those LinkNYC kiosks never tell you anything useful?

Can someone just tell me what’s “at the end” of this Lizza thing so I don’t have to read it

I was in the district office tonight so time to re-up my second favorite Manhattan Community Board 6 artifact (my favorite, if I recall, is a 35-year-old letter opposing a Trump rezoning, but I can’t find my old photo of it)

Hello my bodega got a new health code violation, his name is Tiger and he is six months old and when he heard the meat slicer he RAN behind the counter like a lightning bolt

This has hit the mainstream. My bldg’s doorman and handyman, two 50ish lifelong NYers who read the NY Post and I wouldn’t have pegged as politically engaged, were chatting this week in the lobby about Grijalva, Roberts, and the shutdown with a nearly Jake Sherman level of political horserace nuance

saying “swastikas are bad” is extremely low hanging fruit for the mayor of a city that’s home to a million jews

3rd Av at 24th: the safety redesign has started on my block! (Fun fact: the machine that strips off lane markings is as LOUD AS THE DEVIL)

I’m back here again, it happened again (slainte); and (unrelatedly) the obviously Irish DJ put on this Mary Black song which took me back more than 30 years, three or four lifetimes ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Oz...

"You can't make me go to your woke DEI Satanic Shabbat dinner, it would offend Christ the Lord" is INSANE

We look forward to seeing Mayor Mamdani maintain and expand the city’s commitment to a more sustainable future.

NYC is home to 43% of NY State's population. Its budget is nearly as big as the state’s, and its forward-looking climate policies — like Local Law 97, to cut building emissions — play a major part in our state's climate action.

It’s refreshing to elect a leader who recognizes climate change is real, that its impact falls disproportionately on vulnerable communities, & that our government needs to take urgent action to protect all of us from extreme weather, pollution, and other environmental dangers.

We congratulate NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani on his decisive victory last night.

Do what I did: go to the polls today, bring a friend who wouldn’t bother voting on their own, and give them a piece of paper reading MAYOR: Mamdani (for obvious reasons) AG: Bragg (Maron is a transphobe) PROPS 2-5: yes

*Educational film narrator voice backed by jaunty music* The life of a New York City cooperative board member is a busy one, full of decisions on urgent matters that will affect the lives of hundreds of families

If one more 50 year old Jewish friend who lives in, like, LOS ANGELES makes a crack about how everyone is going to FLEE New York City when a guy that hundreds of thousands of Jews voted for is elected mayor I am going to LOSE IT

Omg I walked into a bar I go to and sat down and it was busy and about 2 minutes later hot Irish bartender 1 walked up and shook my hand and said “nice haircut” and “the usual?” and I said yes and he turned around and hot Irish bartender 2 was right behind him and //

Excuse me Waterside Plaza but what is this

God willing I (age 59) will live long enough to see Pam Bondi thrown in prison for the rest of her life

the strategy to deter blue state incursions of federal troops is to promise, repeatedly, that when you are in power you will prosecute everyone involved, starting with top officials and going down to troops on the ground.

Oh no

We need some UN investigators here, stat

Last night I was scrolling thru the “updates on the Trump administration” NYT page with the blog type reporter updates and… it was just one batshit crazy unilateral move after another, the only common thread is “blow everything up“ Coming back from this will take 20 years

Did an AI write this

[spokesmodel voice] Thanks to LinkNYC, I can doomscroll through the collapse of American civilization faster than ever!

Why does he think they are the “so-called Democratic Socialists of America.” That is what they are called even if you don’t like them

1) 2pm: “nobody ever rides these, they just sit here blocking parking spaces” 2) same station, same day, 7pm

Look I definitely oppose the death penalty but people who code apps that don’t strip whitespace off email addresses force me to reexamine my priors

wow hard to believe that professors and teachers — the people Kirk made a literal career out of *putting on a watchlist* — don’t have nice things to say about him

It’s important for people to realize where we are in history. This. This is one of those moments.

They’re in a tie with Wired — but yes

I am devastated in new ways every day discovering what this administration is doing

I think this exchange is interesting! AND I am naive enough to think no one will dance on my grave

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

This is like how a talking dog would answer the question

found a great use case for AI

it’s afraid

If anyone is curious, yes I have been a transit advocate since ancient days, I would estimate I had boarded Los Angeles buses at least 1,500 times by the time this sticker was stuck on this card

Thinking about this and realizing that in my life I've lived in about 15 places in six or seven cities, and only *one* of them had been built 20 years ago or less It would be fun to calculate the average age (as of year of occupancy) of all the places I've lived

Oh, this looks important, I better open it

ok I’ll take it

Did a casino write this (basically yes)

We went to Pastrami Queen and got a pound of corned beef and a loaf of rye and half sours and the good cole slaw; and now we’re out of corned beef so I made a mustard and cole slaw sandwich on rye, which was fine but eating it made me feel like this guy youtube.com/shorts/fPs3G...

For context, the ONLY alternatives to Mamdani in this mayoral race in Jeffries backyard are one of three Donald Trump-allied candidates.

Cuomo can clear a path for a one on one matchup with Zohran and it's just going to mean he's going to get embarrassed more with nobody to blame but himself. Go for it, big guy. See how it feels.

Micah Lasher message testing poll incoming

I’m genuinely surprised that pre-1981 cars aren’t already exempted

I’m gonna run, and win
