I just flipped through City & State's Brooklyn 100 and am shocked that they have well over 100 people on that list. Also, it platforms some anti-muslim voices.

What over a century of ice data can tell us about the Great Lakes’ future

Behind the whistles and honking of protests against ICE is the silence of fear. This week on Reveal, Minneapolis postal workers describe the new scenes they see in the neighborhoods they walk through day in and day out.

we're trying to keep up with our son's ASL vocabulary! thank the gods for teachers pay teachers. www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ASL-...

And then he decided it would be funny to lock people IN the bathroom. He just did it to a deaf elder and did it so quickly that we didn't realize it until she was having difficulty getting out of the bathroom. Now, we're un-childproofing the house.

The city might be frozen, and American democracy might be on its last legs, but this three-year chef won “Best Unusual Cookie" at an adult-only cookie party. Now, Papa needs to find Orion his first culinary award trophy.

Today in Richmond Hill, 75+ neighbors showed up to march and rally for a permanently car-free Freedom Dr. in Forest Park. Locals families, kids, older adults, runners, cyclists, and disability justice leaders shared why they need people-first park roads. @ny4p.bsky.social was happy to support.

😳

this is pretty wild. good argument for lockdown mode if your threat model is one where you might have your phone seized by the Feds: www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

Our 3.5 yo son has figured out how to bypass his third set of "child proof" locks. What lock picking set is appropriate for 4 year olds?

Thanks Obama?

almost 2 weeks since the major snowstorm and DOE + Parks' sidewalks are still unclear. what the actual frack?

MIT Press is covering "the first complete charting of foot traffic in any US city can be used for infrastructure decisions and safety improvements!!" Article by Peter Dizikes news.mit.edu/2026/new-mod...

As a frequent citibike user, they don't even clean the stations in warm winters!! They don't even care about leaf piles.

everything you ever wanted to know about shoe lacing. www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lac...

when do the fines for Lyft begin @mayor.nyc.gov? the stations should have been cleared by now.

1,000 people will be out of work if this project doesn’t get funding by Friday www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/03/g...

On July 3rd (turd), we should rename all maps to "The United States of Trump." That's exactly what this fascist wants?

"What people are looking for is for Dems to fight Republicans and to stand up for our common values. When our party spends all its resources fighting other Democrats... we wind up being a weak and ineffective party, when Brooklyn should be so much stronger and should be doing so much more."

Dumas' FATHER was born to a French count and an enslaved African women in Haiti. The Père was then brought to France, was educated, served in the military, etc. "The Black Count" is a fantastic book about him. His son is the author Alexander Dumas, and he based Count of Monte Cristo on his Dad.🇭🇹

So how long do the Kpop Demon Hunters songs stay in YOUR head? I can't stop the singing...

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

My roman empire is that the Sign Language success criterion for WCAG is level AAA. Effectively implying it’s non-essential, not scalable, too hard to achieve. Signed languages are many deaf folks’ first language and non-signed languages are taught heavily through hearing. #wcag #a11y #accessibility

My lukewarm take is that anyone who was in the Epstein Files should be drummed out of polite society.

Solidarity shows up in several ways... Nice work @ericthor.com nysna.ericthor.com

Italy built a mass transit network to facilitate these games but the NYT's editors expected a private car service so therefore everything is fracked. #carbrain

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth, a time to reflect on and honor Black history. At CivicActions, we are committed to amplifying the voices of our Black colleagues as we work toward a stronger future for our company and industry. #BlackHistoryMatters

I love how this NYC desire path has its own split. Also, it is wild that NYC City Hall Park's paths are still coarsely shoved.

May the monsters who separated Wael Tarabishi and his father burn in hell. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

still fracking cold in New York City

Today should be called Rodents Day and we should all be celebrating our mammal cousins.

The right way to get into the Epstein files.

Days after NYC got a foot of snow, crosswalks and bus stops are still impassible in some places — especially for people pushing strollers and disabled New Yorkers using mobility aids. So who's fault is it? youtube.com/shorts/L4bP6...

Out today: THE CROWN'S SILENCE I'm delighted to share that my new book is officially out! It traces the British monarchy's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and colonial slavery over hundreds of years. Please buy a copy, tell your library, & spread the word. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
