That's a 33% fare hike over the span of 3 years. Absolutely insane. Abolish the motherfucking Port Authority.

Trey means three

We really need to stage an intervention with @mta.info over its on-board announcements. Not only are there way too fucking many, but they’re not in any logical order. In what world would I want to know there’s a police precinct at a station before I know what trains I can transfer to there? Come on.

Anyone who has ever visited Pike Place Market and doesn't think Pike Place in front of it should be pedestrianized is a deeply unserious person.

Meanwhile, still waiting for a charge for a ride last month to show up in my account, and I'm almost 100% certain they'll lock my card or something for it when it finally shows up.

Has the Port Authority made any announcement on how 10-trip passes for the JFK Airtrain will be sold once the Metrocard is eliminated 7 weeks from tomorrow?

There are no fumes from an electric train. These people are just idiots.

It’s no private flight, but we’re flying quite light on MAN-JFK today on Ruby Slipper, a Virgin A35K.

PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE FLUFF

The fact that I said out loud “they hate us cause they ain’t us” when I pulled up the ESPN app today is patently absurd in 2025, yet here we are.

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

Eat shit, Kim Davis.

🎶 It’s the holiday season 🎶

Sitting alone at a brewery in Manchester, England, I saw this and said out loud, “oh, go the fuck away.” The guy next to me first thought I was talking to him, but it led to a delightful discussion about the state of New York politics.

And twice as many people ride the state-run trains daily in New York City than fly on planes!

Can I interest you in a comforting Sunday sandwich?

No one: Absolutely no one: Wigan:

I reuse to believe this is an actual name of an actual British railway station.

It still astounds me that in 2025 McDonald’s still doesn’t offer a vegetarian menu item in the U.S. despite serving one in nearly every other place on earth.

Men’s room stickers are next level in the UK. #bhafc

7 years ago, I remarked how the travelators between Manchester Airport Terminal 2 and the train station never worked. 3 years ago I noticed they started renovating them. Renovations are finally complete and… 3 of the 5 travelators don’t work.

This fucking guy. I am so tired of him. It’s been nearly 12 years. Come on, Virgin Atlantic.

Well, glad I’m at the airport leaving for vacation right now.

If you ever wonder how un-democratic the Senate is, remember: more people voted for the mayor of New York than 49 sitting senators

There's gonna be daily fake AI videos of subway violence running on Fox News. I'm willing to bet they'll do a segment on NYC crime at least 3 nights a week after January 1 when they swear in Zohran.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Promises made promises kept

Cuomo still can’t fucking say his name right even after losing to him a second time.

Once more, for old times’ sake

Bye, Andrew Cuomo. May you never be relevant in politics ever again, and may the disgusting racism and Islamophobia you resorted to in the final days of this race be added to your despicable legacy.

Imagine having a brain so poisoned by right-wing media that your impression of Zohran Mamdani is "he hates everyone" when his entire campaign has been the opposite of that. hellgatenyc.com/election-day...

A massive fuck you to the @mta.info, who couldn’t bother to hold a Manhattan-bound L Train at Myrtle-Wyckoff after the Canarsie-bound train skipped Jefferson and DeKalb.

Fun fact: the MBTA Commuter Rail Attleboro Station is not the only Attleboro Station on a mass transit line in the U.S.

🙃

Hey New York: Job #1: vote for Zohran Job #2: vote YES on questions 2-5 to help him build housing

This Cuomo ad about how scary the subways are almost certainly used footage from the early COVID months, a time when it would have been trivially easy to get shots of empty platforms and subway cars... and when Cuomo was in charge of the MTA.

@half-bear-half-man.bsky.social found your beer

@jayforeman.bsky.social Headed to Manchester next weekend and it feels right to buy your book in person! Where can I find it?

If this is what you think New York City actually is today, just fucking leave.

Is the correct position supposed to be that Israeli settler violence is good

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

No costume last night, but you could say I was costumed.

Hey, you know what’s a dumb idea? Beg buttons at every intersection on a downtown cycle track.

Brief stop here on the way to the Rubber City.

Can’t help but wonder if the fact that broad swaths of society stopped caring about other people is resulting in even slower boarding of flights.

Cuomo does not care about any of the problems we face in NYC right now nor does he care about any of the good parts of NYC. He is a joyless soul-sucking power-hungry autocrat who would be an indescribibly bad mayor. Let's make sure this future doesn't come to be.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.
