been thinking that #NYC is due for a celebrity bird. It’s been a while since #Flaco, #mandrinduck #PaleMale & Barry. But I realized that no VIP bird is needed when we have pols who garner just as much excitement when spotted in the wild. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor
Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

Explain to me like I'm 5. Kids who live more than .5mi from their school get a card that can be used 4x day/7 days/week. SWEET!! Kids who live close to their school or take a bus to school get ... BUPKIS? What about the other days? Or after school activities?

The city should buy this building and turn it into a much needed community center to benefit the neighborhood. @cmjuliewon.bsky.social

@jnsorg.bsky.social‬ Rabbi Pearl Where are your sources? You give no evidence. Just paranoid "patriotic" dog whistle. We CAN hate a gov't and leader of gov't w/o hating the country. Are you throwing in w the sexual harasser, fraudster, or the sexist/racist? I thought you were better than this.
Will New Yorkers wake up to the mayoral election?
Let us reclaim our traditional sensibilities and alliances, and restore the comity of our neighborhoods and our city.

Not a Great look #Starbucks. sending your pubescent employees after the geriatric customers who dare to stop at the bathroom BEFORE they order. Earning billions isn’t good enough. Gotta make sure no one pees for free? JFC

Road if today and can’t wait to do it again next week. And then the NEXT week. Keep it going NYC.
#bike #bikeNYC #NYCbike friends-- if you didn't do Summer Streets today- check it out Sat Aug 9 and/or Aug 16.

It was awesome. (And hillier than my normal, Hudson River Greenway route TBH.)

This was my Uptown #nyc Summer Streets 25 ride from Dyckman to 110 Street:

@mta.info @nycdotprojects.bsky.social WHY remove the bus stop that connects the 7 to the Q69? WHY leave the stop on YOUR app map?

Friendly reminder: there are many news sources out there. This nifty chart is regularly updated & can help you find sources that are less biased & more reliable - or more biased and less reliable if that's the sort of thing that you're into. Happy reading. guides.library.harvard.edu/newsleans/th...

But why does someone HAVE a basket full of baby otters? And where can I get one?
Sometimes you just need a basket full of baby otters to make your day complete. Oh, look what I found! You can thank me later.

@brenttoderian.bsky.social Maybe we can find a US city (preferably in the NE to cut down on MY emissions) to host this after Paris? I'll help coordinate. It'll be after the #NYC mayoral election.

The debris left from winter/icing situation is STILL on the #QBB. It is mind boggling that the city doesn’t clean the ONLY legal Queens-Manhattan bike connection. Whomever is in charge of this situation really needs a different job.
One month later. This is still the same. There is no way to report this on 311 (as far as I can tell). Why does the person in charge of this path still have a job if they can’t clear the salt/sand from months ago??!
@nycdot.bsky.social @nyc311.bsky.social 311 won’t allow a report of the #Queensborough Bridge bike lane. There’s no address so no issue! Clearly there’s an issue here! Please clear this path. @transalt.org @bikesky.social

I’m urging all New Yorkers to support Immigrant Arc, the legal services organization I’ve been volunteering with.

Even $10 helps provide asylum seekers with the legal resources and support that are so desperately needed.

Please donate if you can. 🙏

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

WHAT THE FUCK? Shooting reporters now?
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
