#BikeNYC #YNWA Married father of 2 living in Brooklyn. I’m not a “cyclist” - we just use cargo e-bikes instead of cars since it’s much more convenient to get around with kids.

We got a zipcar Sunday for our Apple picking and fall foliage daytrip. And since we had the car for a day, we embraced suburban living to see if there were any Cheesecake Factories near our route, so we could dine at a better restaurant located near it, which is how we ended up atLegal Sea Foods!
As a Cheesecake Factory appreciator, the RWNJs claiming Obama’s (correct) burn will offend voters are dead wrong. If it were as popular as they imagine, it would have more locations.

So, this is still going on. If you can evade being caught on-the-scene, it is perfectly legal in New York City to ram someone with a car. The police will treat you, the victim, like you're a pain in the ass.
A pedestrian who was nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver in Midtown this summer only learned later — after weeks of silence — that the NYPD had closed the 'open-and-shut case' without finding the perpetrator. buff.ly/Otq7uXf

America is choosing to become dependent on Moscow in the field of energy, in violation of its own sanctions regime and against the values and interests of its allies, by allowing a major Russian company, Novatek, to supply technology to, and acquire a stake in, a gas extraction project in Alaska.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
So the 1st book in the Elliot Kane series (a Shadow Intelligence, 2019) focused on Russian trying to foment unrest in nearby former Soviet republics as a pretext to invade and annex (before the Ukraine invasion!). And his 2nd one (2021) starts from this background: cables under the strait of Hormuz!

Getting sick of this degenerate political movement ngl
Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

Bernie Sanders' ability to endorse the most dead end NIMBYs remains unparalleled. Jane Kim used to work for his 2020 campaign; now he's endorsing her for a job that she doesn't even understand. It pains me to urge people to vote for NIMBY Ben Allen, but he actually understands insurance markets.
It’s so embarrassing. This is the base of the Brooklyn bridge and right next to city hall The light is set for a “pedestrian scramble”. Meaning only pedestrians can pass (bikes can go but must yield). And it’s just full of SUVs! Oh, did my bike touch your giant SUV. They just don’t enforce it!

We’re just as the affordable housing development portion and my god the NIMBYs! Just demanding what people can do with their property. They want to make a profit while building homes! And the woke speak my god. We can do better. Who’s the “we”.
If you would like to signal your support for this needed lane before Mr. Martin hires a disgraced lawyer to waste your time and money, the meeting is tonight at 6:30pm, on Zoom or in person at the CB7 office at 4201 4th Avenue in Sunset Park karmabrooklyn.blogspot.com/2026/10/comm...

We met up with cycling advocate and lawyer Steve Vaccaro in Central Park to hear about why he's helping with a legal battle to block NYC's proposed 15 mph speed limit along the Central Park Drives. youtube.com/shorts/FoW1P...

Was able to stream today’s game via Amazon Prime (UK). Sucks that LFC is losing 2-0 but I’d rather they lose by ten than have to listen to Alan Shearer doing the color commentary.
I don’t understand streaming digital rights. I’ve got 2 Spanish language options to watch LFC in the champions league. But no English language ones.
I don’t go down the tunnel of “what does the sociopath truly think” because each second my brain goes there, is a second where they’re commanding my brain to go where it need not. It’s an extension of their manipulation and I do not consent. “Does Turnp know he’s lying”? —> jerk off gesture.
I love the people who are congratulating themselves for not falling for the witch-queen temptress Holmes while being taken hook, line, and sinker by the much bigger lie: that powerful and important men are uniquely insightful, not mere mortals who can be tricked by clumsy lies like everyone else
I think we lean on her lying to investors thing since thst was a bright line for which she was convicted. But to this very day, her knowingly and fraudulently violating the bodily integrity of thousands if not millions of people still remains my number 1 for “What a fucking sociopath”.

Does it make sense to deport a man who overstayed a visa but otherwise has no criminal record when his deportation means shutting down a food pantry that serves meals to 7,000-8,000 needy people a month? Does choosing not to exercise discretion in his case make America greater?

I actually love being an American and part of that is literally just our rights and freedoms and when those freedoms are taken away because of racial animus - we all fucking suffer. This is a war on our country and our way of life. Bin Laden couldn’t have harmed us as much as the Republicans did!
I don’t care if it’s not healthy for me - this shit fills me up with boiling hot rage! How the fuck does this happen! The humanity! It’s so fucked up. I absolutely hate every single person who voted for Mr Mass Deportation Now. This harms my country’s social fabric in service of racism.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
