Why doesn't NYC ticket more for blocking intersections? That's like rule #1 of driving in LA, you don't enter an intersection unless you see you can clear it.

Whoever is teaching courses on AI vibe coded app development that's telling people to go on Reddit with "genuinely curious" research questions... Kindly knock it off.

Mystery: "Where am I?" Surprise: "You're in the hospital! You got hit by a car." Theater: "Lots of people saw it happen!"

The moderator launches into a mini-lecture. Says restricting cars eliminates the β€œsense of theater, mystery and surprise…the visual and aural stimulation” that makes the market special.

Brad Fuckin Lander!! LFG!!! πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ—½

bit.ly/4vuZyfP Brad Lander, the former New York City comptroller and ally of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has upset Democratic U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th District.

Shut them down.

β€œNo family shall ever travel to New York City for vacation and return home mourning." As Central Park carriage rides resume β€” days after an 18-year-old was thrown to his death by a breakaway horse β€” victim's family calls for shutdown.

I want to see the fan theory where Jar-Jar is a Sith Lord produced, but specifically I want to see it in buddy cop format where Jar-Jar keeps calling Palpatine β€œSteve” and it gets on his nerves.

Adobe really likes to update all its apps while I'm on Amtrak running a hotspot. Laptop battery normally lasts all day, it's down 35% in under an hour, running 3 CPUs full blast.

Which architecture school is teaching that people want to walk through expansive plazas and concourses on their way to things? Oculus. Anaheim. This... thing. And can they please stop?

Freemont wtf is this head house Upset that your station that opened when the system was constructed is too boring and simple??? vimeo.com/654177169?sh... vimeo.com/654178697?sh...

TikTok Shop tried to get me to change a product title with AI. It suggested a longer title. OK fine, let's click it so it shuts up. A minute later, it tried to get me to change *the very product title it had provided* to an even longer one with AI. Just brainless word salad generation.

Short C trains have me SPRINTING for the train at 50th. They SUCK.

Chopping cars off the C train would be a mistake. Doubly so since the C was the first line the open gangways were piloted on. β€” www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/31/n...

I would love. Just once. To go a whole day where no sites ask for cookie settings, no pages make me click "read more", and no apps offer feature tours. I am tired. Let me just read the articles and use the apps.

Just now realizing that I am *not* insane, and Baltimore has *two different systems* of color-coded buses. Two completely different green routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different purple routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different orange routes. One free, one $2.

Making the complaint on the basis of reputational risk and fiduciary responsibility. I knew @bradlander.bsky.social had game, but this is a whole other level. Using accounting tools to fight fascism is πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ’‹.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.
