This is exactly what we need. This is it. "New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

This is my favorite/least favorite line of community bullshit. You're not entitled to an engraved invitation to every meeting, and every CB has a public calendar. You want to know when the meetings are? Use your lazy ass to do some research. brooklyncb6.cityofnewyork.us

From the Court Street bike lane opponents' Facebook group. Just so people know which side they're on. Funny how it almost always lines up this way.

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. The issue is around Class 3 e-bikes, and the terminology bleed that causes a lot of people to conflate electric mopeds with e-bikes. Expecting enforcement officers to know this nuance is also a lost cause right now.

Oh wow, this looks stunning. Kudos to the people at MTA for this concept. Can't wait to get out there!

Yeah I love this.

Who's going to tell them? Kids don't play games on the stoop any longer because you selfish jerks keep driving over children with your cars in a giant city with robust public transit.

Imagine being the Secretary of Transportation for the entire country and cheering ripping up a crosswalk because of your hatred. Sad little man

Sounds like the exit row is why this flight was diverted over $150. As Kashmir says later in the thread, if he had moved to business class, they could've deal with it on landing. What an absurd situation.

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

This is so sad and sick. And the implied violence toward human bodies is clear.

Funny how no one in the neighborhood is complaining about ambulances and emergency access on Smith Street, which is only one lane for cars with no protected bike lane.

It is scandalous that every big NYPD chief happens to be "disabled" when they retire. "Tax free 3/4 of his salery life time benefits... because of an ankle injury he received on Randall's Island while on duty last year." Bullshit. This is corruption. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/06/t...

Among other things, who trusts Andrew Cuomo to build “the right jail”?

It’s not hard, and even a little note helps balance out the busybodies who are going to complain that they’ll never visit again because they can’t find parking

The best way for our next mayor to create affordable homes is to vote @yesonaffhousing.bsky.social props 2-5. If passed, these will accelerate the approval of new affordable housing and ensure it's being built in every neighborhood—no matter how rich.

Meanwhile, note from a Carroll Gardens friend: "News12 is covering the Court St bike lane like it is World War III"

Took the High Bridge home after the Tour de Bronx. I can't see this without shaking my fist and cursing Robert Moses #bikenyc

I'm not really sure how you do that as the federal capital though.

Our office released a new study highlighting rampant illegal parking across Downtown Brooklyn. Vehicles block sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes & loading zones - making it more dangerous for New Yorkers to get around the neighborhood. www.lincolnrestler.nyc/s/Illegal-Pa...

True New Yorker quizzes are fun and all but there is only one question in the actual True New Yorker test: Do You Take The Subway?

I'm not one to defend Amtrak, but maybe the MTA could play a little nicer if they want something in return? www.reddit.com/r/Amtrak/com...

Fulop's going to head up the Partnership for New York City? They couldn't find a single one out of the 8 million people who actually live in NYC to replace Kathy Wylde?

No hotels or new apartments. Why do these unions want NYC to be even more expensive?

When is The View going to have me on the show or are they just going to continue to let an abuser spout lies on their show?

Next year will bring a new mayoral administration, and it’s time to think big about improving our streetscape. The @ridersalliance.org plan for Bus Rapid Transit is exactly the kind of visionary stake in the ground we need. BRT saves time, and time is money in New Yorkers’ pockets.

That’s not what he said. He said the money for Essential Air Service routes will run out but that has absolutely nothing to do with ATC. What will happen is after that first paycheck is missed, and this applies to ALL federal workers, the mental toll of financial uncertainty becomes a huge problem.

"the south bronx" is not a neighborhood, it's literally the south area of the bronx where there are a lot of neighborhoods

The New York Times in its "Are You a True New Yorker?" Quiz provides no right answer to this question.

Recorded a 50 minute timelapse of the new Flatbush Ave center running bus lanes this first rush hour, as DOT crews are still installing signage and stuff. So far, it works! Drivers generally obey it and buses are clearly sped up. And don’t miss that ambulance bypassing traffic at the 6 second mark!

They did the Times Square build-out, which should be a model for the rest of Broadway, and then just gave up entirely! Paint and giant concrete blocks, which eat into the pedestrian space. bsky.app/profile/step...

Trump defied a lot of political wisdom in winning office, but he won because he promised a lot of good things would happen if he got in office Now, we only get the bad things coupled with a lot of blatant lies about why we're never getting the good things

We really don't need to tell this to kids half as much as we need to hold Instagram and TikTok accountable for promoting these videos to children. I rarely use either of those platforms, but any interest in subways gets you an avalanche of dumb viral stunts. Reports do nothing.

I know I’m some middle aged guy lecturing a bunch of other Millennials about this here, but please do not subway surf. No good comes of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/n...

Pretty crazy how we just accept it as a given that the president will be openly hostile to investment that will have a material positive impact on the country at large just because it’s focused around a city that dislikes him personally. It’s insane and inane.

MSG has spent thousands against me for saying this, but I won’t back down. Commercial facial recognition is creepy and dangerous. It needs to be banned.

14 years between non-ADA compliant work and the elevator with a lawsuit in between. That's just nuts. bsky.app/profile/thec...

The Sabres will stay put at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center through 2031, while waiting for NY taxpayers to forget they recently gave the Pegulas — who also own the Buffalo Bills — $1 billion for a new NFL stadium. Check out Subsidy Sheet: buff.ly/BMfsqFr

Overwhelming evidence coming in on multiple fronts that Donald Trump has no idea what the people who work for Donald Trump are doing on a regular basis.

This is an awful incomplete article from the AP. No mention that the attempt to rescind this money is likely illegal or that Vought is spuriously alleging these agencies’ compliance with *federal* regulations is unconstitutional, a power he doesn’t have or that they tried to rewrite regs overnight.

Cuomo and pond scum in human form Rich Azzopardi seem open to this idea too. So that makes Cuomo a Republican vying for support from Trump voters. How does that help him in the general in NYC exactly?

Agreed. I was going to say something similar. Time to stop farming out jobs to ungrateful red states.

You see this particularly in the crime discussion nationally, but folks outside of New York City (and often times in New York City) do not grasp the scale and scope of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

This seems incredibly poorly planned and communicated. I'm hoping there is a ton of excess time in there, but simply dropping on a Wednesday that "Oh, by the way, you can't add money to an OMNY card this weekend" is a hell of a way to run a service.

Yes. Yes. bsky.app/profile/prim...

Any news from Rep. Josh Gottheimer on Trump potentially ruining the commutes of millions of hardworking New Jersey residents? Or did he just reserve his ire for congestion pricing?

Donald Trump is trying to steal billions from New York. With this illegal move, Trump wants to make train trips worse for millions of hard-working commuters. The president can't unilaterally steal $18 billion in tunnel funding. This money is owed to New York. It's owed to you.

The Andrew Cuomo campaign ad AI subway sure is something.
