Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 18h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Every time I read something like this it feels like they said, “Let’s drop a brick onto the accelerator of this car aimed at a crowd and see what happens.”

LA County confirmed that SoCal Edison's unused transmission tower started the Eaton Fire, which destroyed much of Altadena. The tower had been dormant since the 70's, but was left up anyway. It energized in the high wind and sent molten metal into dry brush underneath. www.cnn.com/2026/08/04/u...

::sigh:: One day, maybe someone who wants to tell a version of Lizzie’s story will take a run at MAPLECROFT instead of…quasi true crime or whatever. Just let her fight Cthulhu with the axe; might as well get real weird and gay with it.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Oh look, the GFM is almost at its final goal of $25K with just $448 remaining to hit the goal. gofund.me/d120eaa3c
