Amazing improvements thanks to dozens of organizers who made it our mission to bring @citibikenyc.bsky.social coverage Uptown. Seems like only yesterday the 1,000th station was placed right in the South Bronx with @transalt.org ... Bike Baby, Bike!! 🚴🏾‍♀️💨
Latest @citibikenyc.bsky.social expansion has been announced by @nyc-dot.bsky.social. 🤩

star wars did give us a slur for robots (clankers) but i don’t use it bc i don’t want to have to look a robot in the eye in fifty years and be like “you don’t understand it was a different time…”

Jim Walden (!!) make the smart point that I've said before that spending too much money on fare evasion drains resources that could be spent elsewhere and we should try redesigning fare control and expanding Fair Fares first.

"Moana 2 is just a cash grab!"

Yes that's how businesses works, you make something you know people would pay money for.

Also, you know nothing of cashgrabs, I was there for Aladdin 2 The Return Of Jaffar.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

The nuance that gets lost in most discussions around City of Yes. We don't have public transit everywhere, which is why the policy should (and does) aim to "let the market decide" who develops where.
On parking reform:
“If I live above the subway station, I don’t need a car to get around. But the idea is to let the market decide.

If I’m a developer building in a place where there’s no transit, I’m probably going to build parking whether the city requires me to or not"
