Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

AMNewYork ran an advertorial from the people shilling for the governor's car insurance proposal to reduce compensation for crash victims and the photo for it, which could easily just have been a regular file photo of city streets, is pretty clearly AI garbage www.amny.com/sponsored/ne...

Parker waited over half-an-hour for the Bx36 bus on Tremont Avenue, one of the slowest buses in the country.

Mayor Mamdani is hoping to revive a busway project that was shelved by the Adams administration β€” so long as the federal government doesn't get in his way. youtube.com/shorts/Ft_24...

The price of having a very large Statue of Liberty tattoo is that you are legally required to tell Europeans how to find the Statue of Liberty when they ask you

Been going through Liman's congestion pricing ruling from yesterday and it is nice to see some epic legal writing coming in a decision that goes your way as opposed to being stuck in a dissent: "It is difficult to imagine more arbitrary and capricious decisionmaking than that at issue here."
