Norman Rockwell Painting Meme:

OMNY has been better for me than Metrocard in every way.
A CNN reporter is looking for "Metrocard enthusiasts" to talk about the upcoming demise of the Metrocard, if that's your sort of thing.

My lukewarm take here is that as bad as the OMNY rollout has been lately, we can consign the Metrocard to fare payment media past without too much tears.

Family illnesses, bad weather and a long weekend mean we are showing my daughter Frozen for the first time. I saw it once probably 10 years ago? So now you get my thoughts.

1. Big jump in animation between this and Encanto. This thing looks like a potato.

2. Kristen Bell is a good voice actor.

Benjamin Franklin in 1777 is basically 1977 Star Wars Obi Wan. Is he playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers or full of shit? No one knows, including himself.

We should be talking more about how the German historian is maybe the best part of the new Ken Burns documentary?

Honestly though, next ballot proposal should be a proportional representation city council. I’m sure the local press will shit on that too but it would be so much better.

End of racial politics in NY apparently.
see if this turns out but if Julie Menin is right that she's secured a supermajority on the Council for Speaker, it looks like nearly everyone outside the Progressive Caucus / everyone outside the "Commie Corridor" unified behind Menin www.crainsnewyork.com/politics-pol...

The median Gen Xer thinks better signage will fix it.
The median boomer thinks a lawyer can solve any problem.
It’s very funny how Anglo center left parties are the parties of stuck up technocratic elites when they never actually consult subject matter experts, rather law school professors and consultants

I find myself wondering what Stipe Heeler does for a living and of course Reddit has a theory.

The high cost of free stroller parking. Is this anything?

Don’t think this will work? Only thing that ever has.
Red brown alliance but it's just getting a bunch of MAGA dipshits to vote for socialists without compromising a millimeter on policy through sheer force of personality

@stephenjacobsmith.com any idea why a 20 unit building would need to pay $2500 a year for Elevator Telephone?

New Zelda lore just dropped:
2. Fractals are defined by self-similarity. For a first example, take the Sierpiński triangle. It's formed from subtracting the middle quarter of a triangle to form three smaller triangles, then subtracting the middle quarter of each smaller triangle ad infinitum.

I do love that of all of the powers that conservatives Stan it’s Austria, the power that fumbled the bag more than any other in the 19th century and essentially no longer exists. Incredible lost cause energy.

I keep coming back to my thesis that Stevie Wonder made the best Beatles Albums of the 1970s.
