Unwilling to abide any Wegmans slander on main, but I don't like being biometrically tracked while shopping.

Esplanade connector over the Newtown Creek between Greenpoint and Long Island City when?

It would be really funny if the judge, citing jurisdictional issues that make charges impossible, recommended initiation of deportation proceedings to Venezuela.
Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s ousted president, and his wife, Cilia Flores, are expected to make their first appearance on Monday in a New York City courthouse, where at noon they are set to stand before a judge and face charges of drug-trafficking conspiracy and other crimes. nyti.ms/4qDjpqj

For those in your life who are reacting in lock step with CNN, that maybe this is all good actually

Reminder that the Harvard Kennedy School put the Iraq price tag at 3 trillion dollars, at a time when cost of living remains the needle mover in elections, this is just straight up GOP suicide *IF*

Had a thought and checked.

If you work at NYC MTA or DOT, or the mayor's office, there are polymarket bets you can make and personally influence the outcomes of, right now.

The world is NOT ready for the implications of this incredibly easy to access website and it should be nuked from orbit.

Watching the inauguration and seeing the camera cut to Adams after the crowd booed his shout out in Mamdani's speech. Jesus Christ what a moment.

In 2026, city employees should emulate Zohran Mamdani by marrying an illustrator or cartoonist so they can have access to the city’s health insurance plan

One order that I hope Mamdani revisits. Probably good to have health inspections for the horses on some level, assuming we don't already.

I stand by my plan that the carriages should be replaced by electrified, speed limited, vintage convertibles.

A lying legend:

Santos never lived in NYC, He has a place on Long Island and a place in Florida and was notoriously lying about having a place in Whitestone Queens while campaigning and during his cup of coffee in office.
Some news — George Santos has fled NYC due to Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani issued an executive order that repeals all orders issued by Adams since Sept. 26, 2024 — the day Adams was indicted, including an order creating a cryptocurrency-focused Office of Digital Assets and Blockchain, and an order that established a Mayor’s Office of Rodent Mitigation.

Yikes.
Has the Partnership for New York City ever before attacked a Comptroller over a pension-related issue?
