He could never defeat the Magic of Micah Lasher
The cover of Micah Lasher's magic tricks book. Lasher is shown mid-card trick, as playing cards are flying up and out of his outstretched hands.

Time for bed

Great day for #bikenyc River Road/Henry Hudson Dr. Should be peak colors soon!
A view of the Hudson River from the Palisades. The river is in the background behind a bunch of trees with leaves that have turned yellow and orange A view down a tree lined road with no cars in sight. The leaves are mostly green, with a few smidges of yellow and orange here and there. Another cyclist is barely visible far towards the horizon

Very well, if I must. Mildred has eclectic tastes.
From behind, we see a small cat black sitting on a coffee table staring at a TV, on which plays a scene from Beavis and Butthead depicting a brown short-haired dog mounting and humping a fancy-looking white long-haired dog

Took the High Bridge home after the Tour de Bronx. I can't see this without shaking my fist and cursing Robert Moses #bikenyc
A silver and white bicycle leaned up against a fence. Three or four highways are visible in the background, overlapping and intertwined.

Did ~2200 ft of #bikenyc climbs without leaving the city
Screenshot showing the route through upper Manhattan and the Bronx Screenshot showing the elevation profile of the route A silver and white bike with pink accents leaned against a stone wall. The city, as seen from the top of a hill, stretches far into the distant horizon The intersection of 187th St and Overlook terrace. 187th here is a steep set of stairs

Getting crosstown below Houston was a pain yesterday with Grand and Spring closed for San Gennaro and Prince closed at Bowery; the sooner we get a two-way #bikenyc route on Canal the better. - nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/12/d...
A photo taken in the middle of the Prince and Bowery intersection. The roadway is torn up and covered with steel plates. Construction workers have closed off Prince Street and are actively working. An SUV is in the crosswalk.

Nobody freak out! the reason is in the last paragraph -- JSK 2.0. this is a win for #bikenyc
Mr. Mamdani would be the youngest mayor to lead the city in a century, and has said that he intends to try to hire an ideologically diverse array of experts to work for him, if elected. In an unrelated interview with The Times on Thursday, he declined to name who he planned to bring into his administration but said he had met with a range of former City Hall officials, including Janette Sadik- Khan, a transportation commissioner under Mr. Bloomberg.

Throwback #bikenyc pic from 2010. This would be a great place to hold a war crimes trial. It's just steps from the site of the US Open where I'm told a war criminal is in attendance rn
wide shot of the interior of the new York State pavilion in flushing meadow Park. The structure has no roof. Towers and UFO-like circular platforms are visible through the open top, a tree with bare branches is visible in the background. The effect is a cold winter day in a retro-futuristic ruin. A bicycle, dwarfed by the towers behind it, leans against a wall in the lower right. A closer view of the bicycle from the previous shot. The decay of the structure is more apparent. Random cinder blocks are strewn about, red paint flakes off the wall, with large patches of rust visible.

I tried to do guys who appeared on the left side of the infield when Jeter and A-Rod were hurt/suing MLB but couldn't remember the deeper cuts, so this is just replacement infielders
A grid of ballplayers. Left to right, top to bottom: Ramiro Peña, Eduardo Núñez, Brandon Drury, Brent Lilibridge, Miguel Cairo, Neil Walker, Yangervis Solarte, Ronald Torreyes, Greg Bird

Good afternoon #bikenyc
A silver and white bicycle with pink and blue accents leaned up against a bench with a beautiful blue sky and the Tappan Zee bridge in the background.

It's been four years and a few thousand miles and I haven't died! (yet)

Did I do the #zcavengerhunt wrong by using #bikenyc ? Thanks to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social staff for a super fun Sunday afternoon!

The vibes at the Met game were great until the Mets showed up
A replica of Shea stadium being held up for a photo. The background, out of focus, is Citi Field. The light is golden and the grass is splendid. Mr and Mrs. Met on the jumbotron, wearing matching Beatles shirts.

Man, what happened? I used to think this guy was cool
A man in a yellow suit decorated with questions marks sits in front of the US Capitol. He seems very enthusiastic.

We could make all sorts of crazy laws!
screenshot from the Simpsons showing an anthropomorphic bill holding a bomb. Several other anthropomorphic bills are proceeding up the steps into congress. One wears a rainbow wig, another is reminiscent of Yosemite Sam, firing a revolver in the air, another wears a propeller hat. The caption reads "(Loud yucking, gunshots and laughter)"

Went to Rego Park to take pops to lunch and to vote early, and found him drowning in Cuomo's racist mailers. I explained that the rich are afraid of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and pops agreed to rank Zohran no. 1
Five mailers paid for by Bloomberg, Doordash, and Ackman to scare my elderly father, arrayed on a hardwood floor.

Screenshot from the Simpsons showing Agnes Skinner telling Marge Simpson that she is as relevant as the long-defunct department store, Gimbel's. The caption reads, "Gimbel's is gone, Chuck. Long gone. YOU'RE GIMBEL'S" Ironically, posting a screenshot from a 30 year old episode of the Simpsons likely highlights the poster's own cultural irrelevance.

Had to make a second stop because I forgot the bread, but I made it work! #bikenyc
A black bicycle with all manner of luggage (front bag, giant saddle bag, and panniers) is locked to a street sign in front of a supermarket. A baguette is in the bikeçs bottle cage.

Trump take gabagool
Handwritten sign posted at an old school Italian deli that reads "All imported meats and cheeses are up $2.00/lb due to tariffs." Directly above is a "CASH ONLY" sign with large black letters on yellow background.
