Good riddance to the climate arsonist who destroyed Indian Point. Been rationing AC use in my apartment because of Cuomo idiocy

"Combat Parked" vehicles blocking the sidewalks, and bike lane parked vehicles (some of them not official vehicles) blocking the bike lane and any "deployment" into combat. On both sides! Neither "lane" of cars is actually moving, its all just parked there.

Update: The light went out at the same moment that a pole carrying all our clothes broke in the closet near this light fixture and fell. No glass was recovered though

Noticed burnt out led bulb, open replacement found some odd damage but no glass fragments. I wonder what happened, have lived her awhile. Earthquake? LED causing glass globe to shatter (but where is the glass?). Light globe from 70s and I just didnt notice until now

I quit chess when I wad a kid because a high adrenaline low movement sport is miserable if you have type 1. But Ive been trying to pick it up in a low pressure way mostly solving puzzles and just had an infernal streak (still going) where the answers just flowed, stoked

#BikeNYC question: anyone else find the Dyckman and Nagle intersection really sketchy? I ended up stranded with a line of angry cars who didnt understand how to turn right without running me over

Attached images. I riding on Dyckman in the lane against traffic, waiting for light to cross
