"NY is incredibly liberal with open source data, things like open data on public space locations and then the longitudes, latitudes of every block in the city. That’s really what made this possible: taking public data, converting it, making it usable." nygroove.nyc/walk-nyc-app/

Good. When we used to do trade shows at the Javits Center, we would walk by the “stables” for these poor horses. Awful and inhumane way to treat an animal.
The New York Groove@nygroove.nyc · 3w agoEven Central Park wants them gone now: The Central Park Conservancy has come out as an ardent supporter of the ban. “It was clear this is becoming a threat to public safety and public health," a spokesperson said nygroove.nyc/free-the-cen...
When I was a little kid, my dad worked in one of these carriage companies while he was looking for a better job. This is how we ended up with horses even though we were not rich. Those horses were not in the best shape when we got them, though that improved once they were no longer working horses
The New York Groove@nygroove.nyc · 3w agoAfter a horse died and an 18-year-old was killed last month, the horse carriage industry promised more oversight to prevent tragedies. But that hasn't happened: “That behavior is continuing. There continues to be a real issue with how they’re operating the carriages." nygroove.nyc/free-the-cen...

Tim's right, it's completely crazy that we're letting this stuff continue to happen, and I'm not just saying that because I'd like to be able to bike through the park without running over horse shit.
Tim Donnelly@timdonnelly.com · 3w agoI finally embraced my destiny and wrote about the Central Park horses and my thought is: just free the fuckin horses already nygroove.nyc/free-the-cen...
There was a viral post early in the Mamdani mayoralty where it was like "oh New York had a child crushing machine and he turned it off." This is actually one of those instances where a stupid, dangerous thing has gone on for way too long and we just need a politician willing to stop it.
