Turns out there is a downside to the governments around the world negotiating profit out of pharma R&D: the US became the only profitable market on earth, and so if the US says we don't want vaccines, nobody gets any more vaccines. Will it happens for other drugs? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/h...

Heartwarming: this Maryland resident drove up to New York City almost a month ago, and has apparently decided to stay!
The nearly three million free parking spots in our city must be a big selling point:

millennials love animal crossing, a game where you can realize the dream of homeownership through indentured servitude to a family of raccoons. you can pay off your home loan by picking weeds and collecting seashells. nobody’s sure why it’s so popular

✅ Raised crosswalks function as speed tables that physically compel drivers to slow down.
✅ This places pedestrians higher in the driver’s field of vision, while signaling a pedestrian-priority zone.

Hey @mayor.nyc.gov can we please pedestrianize or at least vastly expand the sidewalks in Chinatown please? The allocation of space to private cars here doesn’t make any damn sense.

Delivery workers keep our city running, rain or shine. I’m grateful for all they do—and for the chance to meet with them and Deputy Mayor Julie Su as we work to protect their wages and tips.

Hochul's advisors from Uber recognized that "crash victims should not be compensated for their injuries" was a losing argument so they are trying to reframe the cause as a fight against repair fraud
To get to the bottom of car insurance fraud, I went straight to the experts at TACS Autobody in Glenmont.
We’re pumping the brakes on sky high insurance premiums.
