BREAKING: Recidivist Driver Who Killed Three on Ocean Parkway Has Been Charged - Streetsblog New York City Cops have charged recidivist scofflaw Miriam Yarimi with manslaughter after a crash that has stoked demands for more action to rein in reckless drivers.

I’ll be on NY1 at 7:30 am on Monday with @patkiernan.bsky.social to talk about what Albany can do to protect our children, parents and seniors from recidivist reckless drivers: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/30/b...

Someone down the block was making it clear to @nycsanitation.bsky.social — that the trash bin itself is meant to be trash.

The New Yorkers and the rest of the country in my feeds seem divided by this. People who know how many NYC apartments have no laundry are intrigued. Everyone else says this is a toy. #CES2025

I want to be interested in this but resent that this device helps me to trick myself.

Headed to Vegas for the last two days of #CES2025. Eager to see this see-through TV up close. What else should I focus on? I’m still not really sold on the need for a smart washing machine.

Are the French Laundry and Per Se Still Worth a Splurge? We Went Back to See. As Thomas Keller’s most influential restaurants hit major birthdays, the cost and the demand have risen. But what about the food and the fun?

Brilliant line in the @nytimes.com re-review of Thomas Keller’s restaurants. From Melissa Clark:
“It’s been 30 years since the French Laundry’s blue door first opened, and 20 years since the one at Per Se didn’t.”

Learning curve still active. But something needed to change from looking at Twitter and getting nothing relevant.

Undersea Surgeons The cables at the heart of the lightspeed, globe-spanning internet run across the grimy, perilous, inaccessible deeps of the sea, in places no one ever sees or visits – until the cables break.

Deep-sea look at the underwater cables that make the internet work. It’s remarkable they are as reliable as they are.

Escape From New York? For Thanksgiving, You Have to Have a Plan. Getting to any of the airports that serve New York City can take too long or cost too much. Devising a way to ease the journey is its own holiday ritual.

“Lugging suitcases into the subway will quickly make you realize how many sets of stairs you need to tackle.” A Thanksgiving weekend read from #nytimes on New York’s inability to get people to and from airports.

There’s actually an asterisk on that. We produced 8 episodes but only 7 of them actually aired. The programmers moved up the finale when they decided that the series was not drawing a big enough audience to continue.

Checking it out as the frustration with Twitter grows.

Had an errand on the Upper West Side and stopped by an old favorite. The Freddie and Peppers Bacon, Spinach and Tomato slice is as tasty as ever. #BST #pizza #nyc
