I’m doing the Odyssey imax ticket scalping thing but for the live action Bluey show at Kings Theater. I’m a billionaire now
And is there a Mr Emily Medhurst?
Qagggy!@qagggy.bsky.social · yesterdayUK transit nerds are next level.
In the replies of a post reminiscing about a beloved local restaurant that is closing after 45 years. There are still Ignatius Reillys among us, you just need to look
reassuring that even after a summer like this one, the city is absolutely fucking dead in the last weeks of August. Make reservations! Go to polo bar in flip flops. Fire bomb a private school! It’s August 19 in New York!
Meanwhile the NYT was eager to frame a year one improvement in air quality as “little effect” because each and every employee of the Times is a sweaty little nerd eager to appease 6 rich guys
Brian PJ Cronin@brianpjcronin.bsky.social · 3d agoAstonishing. "A controversial scheme aimed at slashing car pollution in London was a boon to children, whose lungs grew faster after the program was launched, researchers found."
one admin wants free buses (city) and one admin administers OMNY (state). Not sure where the irony is and it certainly doesn’t help students to confuse things
Shabazz Stuart@shabazzstuart.bsky.social · 5d agoThe way transit is treating NYC students is a scandal. Passes look like this after just a few days. This makes students more likely to skip fares, which is deeply ironic given the admin’s emphasis on free busses.
Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.
Gregory Kohn@kohngregory.bsky.social · last wk.In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
They are cool, completely unregulated and have no appropriate infrastructure (fixable), and should never be available to teenagers
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last wk.I do not believe this is an unintended consequence. I think ebikes are a potentially revolutionary transportation improvement (especially for teens) and the people opposed to them hate them for exactly that reason
smaller but maybe most personally offensive among the myriad insults of AI was the whole week where we had to see AI generated imaginations of Elaine with “modern hair” when in fact, modern white lady hair is just imitations of different Elaines
Seinfeldism@seinfeldism.bsky.social · last wk.I've got it! We're calling just to say, "I'm there for you." / S07E23 The Wait Out
hit the bricks chronic lyme, the cut is here to introduce a new collection of symptoms that mysteriously can only be treated with cash payments and also strikingly resemble known mental or motor disorders
The Cut@thecut.com · last wk.Last fall, my daughter caught a cold and then, days later, lost her ability to function. She could no longer speak, walk, sleep, or eat. Her illness, PANS, is controversial to some in medicine, and the fight to treat it has overtaken our lives.
going to the beach with a toddler and a baby and a cart full of stuff
This is absolutely the top story. If you changed the borough or the squatting tenant (Brooklyn; coffee shop) the Times would be doorstepping local residents for a week telling them that there is a local business squatting
bing bong@brianvan.bsky.social · last wk.Especially because I’d consider the top story here to be that the city owns the land but is being thwarted from its use by a non-paying private tenant with its own ideas.
using white house staff and political journalists as bait, oh no
assuming this is accurate, it is funny that the iranian govt. has figured out trump better than the US political media that's spent a decade following him around.
Antifascist Militant@antifasictmilatant.bsky.social · 2w agoIran is done talking until trump is gone. Which means if we want lower gas prices we should hand trump over to Iran immediately
Why are you talking like this you are nearly 50 years old
Kang@kang.bsky.social · 2w agoWhy don’t you say it on a site he’s on so you’re not doing this sad little ‘brrrr let’s be cool guys on our little pirate ship that looks like a microbrew meet up?’ Why do this bitchmade little ‘teehee the bad man said bad words?’
Going down the instagram rabbit hole of some person who found a stranger living in their Queens apartment and loving how hard the NYPD is leaning into the Nick Mullen joke
the thing about having every political position of the last ten years completely vindicated is that the only internal struggle you’re left with is what color space marine to paint
normal about it? my wife’s most effective recurring bit is to say on any cloudless day, “you know what this reminds me of”
dr. rich traditions, JD@helldude.bsky.social · 2w ago9/11 is funny because new yorkers are are way more likely than the average american to be way more normal about it
A teenager who chooses to live their life in the suburbs as a young adult should be treated as a better case for carceral intervention than shoplifting. It is a sign of a profound antisocial personality with dangerous societal consequences.
SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com · 3w agoA teenager failing to get their drivers license should be treated much like a toddler failing to gain language. It is a missed development step in their life with compounding consequences.
so just to play it all back: with no actual threat, on the rare day that bikes and pedestrians can use the roads, the NYPD is bravely foiling attacks by…sitting in their cars that they’ve parked in the way. But if you want to just hit someone with your car on like a Tuesday on Flatbush that’s cool?
Jon Orcutt@jonorcutt.bsky.social · 3w agoReally weak response - hopefully this evolves during the rest of the week @nyc.streetsblog.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/08/04/m...
i feel like we could shortcut the “do Americans like lots of cheap shitty things or fewer high quality things” with one singular visit to the Museum of Ice Cream in SoHo
this is again the downside of the gambit Mamdani is attempting with Tisch and NYPD. Appeasement typically just leads the aggressor l to more and more muscular attempts at demonstrating control and influence. Which I mean, we’ll look at the pic
Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org · 3w agoOne lieutenant manning a chokepoint at a nearly entirely blocked intersection uptown told Streetsblog that the “blocker cars” were a direct order from Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and were “obviously overkill.” buff.ly/Wh1OaNr
What is this tone? Like we need a name for it. Something to capture the piousness and self-importance of the judgement, but while also like, just being wrong and uninformed about the topic at hand
let's take a moment also to celebrate the first absolute meatball down the middle getting fucking crushed. the first woman in pro baseball league history to get her shit rocked
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 3w agoand Denae Benites hits the first home run in Women's Pro Baseball League history!
People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit
against my better angels this scenario plays out weekly for me at Central Park group tennis lessons. just annihilated weekly by a rotating cast of 57 year old women wearing caps that say AMAGANSETT
