If we legalized dense homebuilding across high-demand metropolitan areas, the burrito chauffeurs there would have a better standard of living and you would have more disposable income to request as many burrito taxis as you want.

just under a year ago I moved from Ditmas Park to Kensington and it's WILD how different the reactions are in the neighborhood FB groups & it hasn't even crossed over to the more racist Kensington group yet 😅 anyway I think it's smart to build more houses here, especially with the IBX on the way!

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

this is exactly what i was trying to explain to my brother when my sister and i were making up a fake romance novel over thanksgiving and he suggested chatgpt would give us ideas faster. WE ARE HAVING FUN MAKING UP A SILLY BOOK, WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR EFFICIENCY, STOP RUINING OUR GOOD TIME!

my 12-year-old niece is seriously considering making her bat mitzvah theme be based on the movie Troop Beverly Hills, an absolute masterpiece that is 37 years old

ice cream and wooden spoon is a food pairing that belongs right up there with ham and eggs

The straightforward effect of adding more administrative burden on stores will be that fewer stores will accept SNAP. These are the equivalent of abortion TRAP laws, like mandating the width of a corridor.

this would be so great! there are very few options for safe east-west travel by bike in that part of brooklyn!

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

One thing that's cool about the Mamdani bike bus is that it goes beyond just centering bicyclists (and pedestrians) and focuses on the fact that children have a right to move around cities safely without fear of cars. Kids deserve freedom of movement.

JOHN FOGERTY: I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain JAMES TAYLOR: okay, you’re not gonna fucking believe this

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

You're telling me a vibe coded this website?

I'm not actually sure I think the buses should be free, but I do think citibike should be free if it's 8:30 on a rainy Wed and the next bus is 49 minutes away

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

We should demand a redesign that represents a vision of the city that New York can become decades into the future, writes @brooklynspoke.bsky.social. "What if, instead of building for the city we have, we build for the city we want?"

unfortunately I do still get sweaty with my ebike, but less sweaty than I would have otherwise, so still a win!!

Local woman who just wanted to be able to walk to a bar to have a drink, now a leading urbanist.

"E-bikes are cheating," says man wearing a space helmet whose bike and components are made of ultralight materials designed by NASA and aerodynamically tested in wind tunnels for F1 racecars.

Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger

been thinking a lot about parking lately, as you do. feels important to point out it's precisely because W4th St has a bike lane that both the fire truck made it to its destination and cars could still get by. all those cars would've been SOL if the street was lined with parked cars

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.

How is TJ Maxx not getting in on "looksmaxxing," riding it hard for a fiscal quarter of advertising campaign, then walking away with the satisfaction of having murdered the trend.

Last month in The Onion:

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
