"When this is built, I want New Yorkers to take it for granted” Thank you to @thecity.nyc @amysohn.bsky.social and Harry Siegel for having my on the podcast to discuss QueensLink! www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/07/q...

Say what you will about Robert Moses, but I would absolutely love it if some commissioner made fun of the public this way. nyti.ms/3W7LRGO

The only thing that gives me hope about the nation not descending into a dictatorship is the fact that Republicans are so spineless that the second Trump loses this election they may turncoat and try to play the victim.

I'm convinced that anyone who uses the phrase "gentrifiers" or "transplant" online is a Russian bot.

I don't care about CTE. I care about whatever happened to make conservative brains this broken.

When in doubt, pay off your detractors.

If you're free on Saturday, come down and heckle the dozen or so nuts that show up for this.

I blame the Talking Heads.

This is what I think of when I hear the phrase "Lord, grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man."

We get useless flying cars but also millions of people died because you defunded US Aid and also because of the government you support’s policies, normal Americans can’t afford gas

Sure, Katie Zacharia never passed the bar. But Pete Hegseth has never passed one either.

Reece is right. Just look at this mess!

As a practical matter, live-streaming the execution of a paralyzed Muslim seeking martyrdom is a PR win for extremist groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda and the Taliban. They will show the video as a tool to get recruits fired up and angry at the United States… thus generating more recruits for the cause.

Interesting choice for this MTA photo op. flic.kr/p/2sGigG9

A word of caution: while this is an opportunity to show your support for “rails & trails,” we ask that you do so respectfully. Please do not attack anyone who holds a different view. We welcome respectful disagreement, but personal attacks and harassment have no place in this conversation.

Love this! So much easier than Google Earth. Here's the unbuilt Bushwick Expy, I-78 as it would have been signed (continuing across Manhattan on the Lower Manhattan Expy). Note the branch to Hunts Point and the 3rd Queens-Midtown Tunnel tube.

Lazy ass reporting that doesn't mention that the MTA is ONLY building tunnels; no tracks or stations. Glad I don't pay for @bloomberg.com

This suggests that the Second Ave Subway could, and I'm not saying it should, but COULD be extended all the way up to Albany.

Being opposed to this is letting perfect be the enemy of good. It's easy for people with no authority to cast doubt on battery trains. Consider fighting for ways to properly fund transit agencies so they can install catenary, instead of complaining when underfunded agencies try something.

Atlanta really spent 20 years simmering with rage about that blocked punt and used tonight to take it out on New Orleans, didn't they?

Yeah, the MTA might be frustrating to use. But have you been to New Jersey?

Meanwhile, disgraced former Gov Andrew Cuomo just bought a multi-million dollar mansion in the Hamptons after saying he'd move to Florida if Mamdani won. pagesix.com/2026/09/30/l... Promises made. Promises broken. Andrew Cuomo.

I sincerely hope that the IBX has a direct impact on affordable housing in these districts and that it can be a proof-of-concept that can advance other projects like QueensLink.

Oh damn, this nor'easter already washed away the Rockaway stations!

My favorite time of year.

My favorite time of year.

Bloomberg had a choice. DeBlasio had a choice. Adams had a choice. They all chose to make it someone else's problem. So here we are. Rebuilding it for only 40yrs service life is also kinda cynical, but it at least leaves the door open for the removal one day. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/09/23/o...

Should the Kennedy Center be torn down? Obviously not. But you know what should?

“All these homes that are gonna be torn down, the trees, hundreds of trees, and thousands along the route of this train. It’s really sad, and just congestion, noise, you know there’s just so much at stake in the community with this train,” Stupidity and fear. ny1.com/nyc/queens/n...

60 min producers really went down to a random dive bar, found a guy who'd been there for two days, threw a suit on him, and turned the camera on.
