I just want to talk to someone about this movie!!!!!!
I really dislike horror and zombie movies especially and yet I will follow the 28 [period of time] Later series wherever it goes. The Bone Temple is so good

wait there is a Bhutanese restaurant that shares a name with the newsletter I edit for work? I must go!
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I got this email from my mom today. After my dad died I wrote something personal about him for Curbed, and it’s now wiped from the internet. Was it important work? Not really. But it meant a lot to put it out there, and it sucks that it (and so many other people’s personal stories, FWIW) is gone.

American cheese is really good in certain applications, like on burgers or egg sandwiches
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

I've received many messages about this over the last two weeks — people still read, reference, and link to these stories WRITTEN BY REAL REPORTERS who knew their cities better than anyone else. I figured a fix might have been delayed due to holiday breaks but this needs to be remedied immediately!
The archives for the old Curbed city sites have been offline for at least two weeks. If these sites are gone for good, it’s not just a loss for those who contributed to Curbed over the years, but a loss of ~15 years of reporting on new development, neighborhoods, and architecture criticism.

I noticed this too and I realllllly hope it is temporary @curbed.com @nymag.com because there is nothing else like it and it is half of my archive 😭

What AJ said. Would love to know why the Curbed NY archives have been offline for a while now. Losing those would mean losing years of history about the built environment, and that would really suck!

It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started.
Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.

showing my old millennial age but the first few that come to mind:
“Just,” Radiohead
“Supa Dupa Fly,” Missy Elliott
“Bittersweet Symphony,” the Verve
“Praise You,” Fatboy Slim
Also shoutout to “Rockit” by Herbie Hancock, which apparently scared the shit out of me when I was a little kid

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.
In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

this article reminded me of the subway-themed musical that my college roommate’s boyfriend co-wrote that I saw a very early workshop of in 2002 or 2003 (??), but I haven’t thought of in YEARS
New Yorkers who rely on the MetroCard for more than swipes and dips are grudgingly bracing for the transit system’s familiar farecard to reach the end of the line.
They’re Holding on to Their MetroCards, as OMNY Ends an Era
A Bronx collector and an East Village artist have amassed piles of the soon-to-expire farecards over the years.

Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street has a message for riders: the MetroCard is retiring and going in the trash on December 31st!
It's time to tap and ride—listen out for his station announcements next time you're taking the subway 🚇
