There is an odd comfort in going to a bodega you haven’t been to in forever and the ATM is in the exact spot you remember from many years before

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

I'm not going to read the NYT story but I do want to hear what other people would put in their "Lost New York" takes, mine would include Dr Zizmor ads and the free transfer between the Broadway G/Lorimer JMZ stops

This piece led to a small cohort of MTA employees discussing what counts as a subway movie, which is making my Monday better www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
What’s the Best Movie About the Subway?
“The Big Picture” podcast has interviewed Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicolas Cage. It recently hit the 92nd Street Y for a live show to pick the best New York films in six categories.

I’m not saying irony is dead or must die or anything, but maybe ironic detachment isn’t the voice to use when writing about a vast network of powerful men who have enacted or enabled terrible abuses against vulnerable people for many years

someone buy this for me
"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Jarvis Cocker’s Good Pop, Bad Pop and Jim Dwyer’s Subway Lives (inside me there are two wolves)
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.
