Rain didn’t stop today’s 34 Ave World Ride.🌧️🚲 We biked to Bake & Shop in Elmhurst for coffee, tea, hot chocolate & pastries, then rode to Elmhurst Park, former home of the iconic gas tanks, and stopped at the Vietnam Memorial honoring 371 Queens residents. #34AveOpenStreets #ExploreQueens

Nuala O’Doherty-Naranjo + @jimrockaway.bsky.social are kind Queens souls who've humbly been getting many good things done for a long time. Glad to see them and this current project of theirs being recognized in this piece—which is also a great ad for why we should create more open streets in NYC.

Andrew Cuomo is a bad man pulling on a dangerous thread because he wants to win a job he doesn’t actually want to do in a place he hates

Schumer and Jeffries keep saying they need to focus on kitchen table issues like health care subsidies but "regime cancels comedian for telling joke" is right fucking there. If they can't make hay out of this they're even more useless than they've been through all of this so far.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry. Here's a test for all of them. Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march? Or will they both sides it? Lets see.

ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @voteshekar.bsky.social and @votejgr.bsky.social are champions of parks and open space in Queens! So great to partner with them today to bring @ny4p.bsky.social Daffodil Project & Pollinator Day to @34_ave Open Street for the first time! @jimrockaway.bsky.social

This is hanging up at the Key Food on Montague St. They're objecting to daylighting and some bike corrals. Feel free to tell the store manager you object to this level of clownery from a grocery store only the food drives to.

Le sigh

A mere day after an elderly driver kills 3 in Astoria, another almost hits me by driving into head on traffic on 31st Ave

For those saying, "We're approaching martial law," no. We are not APPROACHING martial law. Martial law is when laws are enforced by the military. National Guard is a military, and they are now law enforcement in D.C. D.C. is officially under martial law. Full stop. It is a military police state.

New research: Darkly-painted cars cause heat islands: "Dark-colored vehicles made the air around them 3.8°C hotter compared to the nearby asphalt road." (Darker cars are also more likely to be in crashes. www.researchgate.net/publication/...)

Parked Vehicles Significantly Intensify Urban Warming: Report

The colour of the car is also crucial and can directly change how city surfaces hold on to heat, the study says

Update: Work on 31st St. bike lane has been temporarily halted by the courts. This is why there is NO POINT in DOT trying to listen to or work with Car Karens.

High-speed rail isn't a boondoggle. *Highways* are a boondoggle. North Americans pay thru the nose for the world's most expensive transport system. Highways are publicly funded. But people still buy their own vehicles—car ownership is $12,000/yr on average—for the privilege of driving on them...

This law would mean that if my wife and I choose to leave the apartment we've shared since 2018, the minimum we can pay in rent is double what we pay now - and we're a university employee and a publicist... Running on killing the middle class of a city in an affordability crisis is a weird angle.

Award-Winning Reporter Dave Colon@davecolon.bsky.social · last yr.

Adding an extra layer of bureaucracy to apartment searches all for a law that wouldn't even let Cuomo kick Zohran out of his current apartment, great stuff

Also, this is not a distraction. This is what is happening in real life.

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · last yr.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening. Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. There is no emergency. This is a test run. If the courts, Congress, and the rest of us let him get away with this, he’ll do it in every city that doesn’t capitulate to him. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others?

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · last yr.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

🚨NEW: This is what all networks should do! MSNBC fact checks Trump live during his press conference. The REAL crime stats are put on screen as he reads out his made up figures.

NEW: Tomorrow’s front page of Scottish newspaper, The National.

An unprecedented number of registered Democrats chose a registered Democrat who is not Andrew Cuomo, but of course he thinks he is the arbiter of who is a Real Democrat.

Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace as governor 4 years ago amidst 13 credible claims of sexual harassment as well as multiple other scandals. He badly lost the primary. He's still getting favorable treatment from local press. Why? His name? They like him and want him to win? Enough.

Spent this morning on the Q train with Andrew Cuomo, who took personal responsibility for his lackluster mayoral primary bid. He vows a very different general election run, saying he'll focus on "reaching out to more young people and touching more people." www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/16/a...

The last thing we want is Cuomo "touching more people" — to echo @2avesag.as' frustration, no other candidate would get this media attention. He is a multiple-time loser, yet he still dares to claim legitimacy because of his last name: Trump & Cuomo, two peas; same pod.

The details herein are disgusting and hard to read. This subhuman piece of shit and her large adult son defamed, traumatized, and incited harassment against a woman whose partner was murdered before her eyes. Is this finally the thing that gets Paladino officially censured? God help us.
