This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

"It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure... But one of the U.S. officials...said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

She was an artist 🐕, a cook 🍝, a storyteller 🤌, and an animal lover 🦌 🔪 . And all she wanted in return was a nice girl for her boy 🥹

If the Left's violence and the Right's violence were characters in the movie, "Goodfellas" the Right would be the entire New York Mob and the Left would be Tommy's mom

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

One of my favorite advertising tropes from the early-mid 60's, was the insistent shoehorning of the Beatles and rock n roll music into ads by people who clearly had never actually seen or heard of the Beatles or rock n roll music (Family Fare in Holland, Michigan 1964)

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Skip this race at your own peril.

Congestion pricing is an unqualified triumph. One of the most immediately, strikingly successful public policies of my lifetime.

The Urbanist@theurbanist.org

“The MTA as a whole is averaging 448K more public transit riders per day this year…The MTA ridership growth since congestion pricing went into effect is almost 50% larger than the total ridership of America’s next-largest subway system.” bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...

Alice Brock, whose Massachusetts diner was immortalized in Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 song “Alice’s Restaurant,” died on Thursday — just a week before Thanksgiving, the holiday during which the story at the center of the song takes place. She was 83.
