In any sane timeline (which never would have allowed us to get to this point in the first place) we'd be clear 25th Amendment territory.

There's one country headed toward "total collapse" and at this point it doesn't seem like it's Iran.

Now that my kids are older and we travel light it's doable, and we've certainly done it in our arrival cities when public transit allows, but the cost is just crazy now.

Yeah, but it's subway (depending on where you're coming from) to the bus. Can be very hit or miss depending on time of day.

Handwritten note stuck to graffiti-coverd utility box over a yellow and white sticker that says "Can You Imagine Life After Cars? LifeAfterCars.com." The note reads, "Your coverage of events is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience."

Someone left the podcast a review.

Yes and a surcharge on car rentals.

It's now $35 for a family of four to take the AirTrain and that's before subway or train fare. Add it all up and taking a car from nearly anywhere to or from JFK is almost always going to be cheaper. What are we even doing here?

Still wild to me that if you take the AirTrain from the terminal to pick up a rental car at Federal Circle it's free, but if you take it to the subway or LIRR it costs an ever-increasing amount of money.

An entirely unserious position from Schlossberg:
- There is no funding available to fix these complexes via Section 9, which is why they're in the state they are in.
- These buildings are nearly a century old and in terrible condition.
- Rebuilding is actually *cheaper* than repair

Big picture, these results suggest that even among Republicans the politics of crime are changing

I was hoping yesterday's rain would help but it wasn't coming down hard enough.

We have family in from all over the country for a big event this weekend and I'm honestly a little embarrassed by the state of the city right now. The snow is gone and now it's just cigarette butts and dog shit as far as the eye can see.

Thanks, deleted.

Yeah, I think that would be one way to make the politics work a bit better.

I might add one wrinkle: if you want you can sell your permit back to the city which would then retire it. You don't want a system where the number of permits is fixed for eternity. You want a gradual (and then fast) elimination of parking spaces. I think this is what Hoboken has done.

I'd like to see @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social change NYPD practice so that when a pedestrian or cyclist is killed the cops say, "The investigation is ongoing. We have no comment." It's ridiculous to say "no criminality is suspected" before an investigation has even begun.

But cops blaming a child for his own death... come on.

Boy, 4, killed in hit-and-run tragedy — police launch manhunt for driver The NYPD is searching for the SUV driver who struck and killed a 4-year-old boy in Brooklyn on Thursday morning and took off.

Even if we're to believe that the kid "ran from his mom and into the street before he was hit," as the cops claim, we need streets that allow kids to be kids. As @sgoodyear.bsky.social says, children "dart." That's what they do. Lower speed limits enforced by design would prevent these tragedies.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Seems bad that Republicans gutted the FBI, CIA, State Department and any other federal agency that might help prevent things like this.

Yes, Slow Charity Runners Are Worthy of Spots in the NYC and Boston Marathons Missing the lottery stings. Taking it out on charity runners is weird.

"You see those 'slow charity runners' at six hours, eight hours, ten hours, sometimes longer. They’re not runners by trade. They’re just average people doing something extraordinary." A great response to that bad post about running being solely about talent and the grind.

OMG yes

We can hide it behind a copy of the book.

The kids keep telling us we should be doing reels so I guess we're doing reels.

My thought exactly.
