But not until after this fatal accident last night was the sidewalk cleared.

Could’ve been walking along Atlantic with our stroller!

Driver must have been going 60+ mph…the car cut in half!

It took over 10 days for us to finally be able to use our sidewalk along Atlantic Ave again….

Despite clearing it numerous times, the city kept pushing more and more snow causing us to have to walk with our one year old in the street.

The human race is at its closest point yet to destroying itself, according to the reset of the ominous but symbolic "Doomsday Clock." The metaphorical clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight after advancing four seconds since last year's reset. bit.ly/4k1EFUD

As a Browns fan who watched every snap this season and preseason, I gotta push back on the problem with small sample size analytics like this… which lacks context of play calling, overall decision making and other personnel considerations.

Also, the IRA had tons of highway-related projects! The idea that it was some sort of Trojan horse Green New Deal β€” which itself was full of kitchen-table-style jobs programs β€” is false and a creation of right-wing propaganda that lots of centrists either fell for or were totally willing to parrot.

The phrase "Trump administration plan to build dozens of new nuclear plants" should solicit hearty laughter from anyone familiar with the history of the nuclear industry, the fate of most recent nuclear plants, the honesty & competence of the Trump administration, or the meanings of words.

A House of Dynamite has already aged like milk – for one key reason Kathryn Bigelow’s new Netflix film seems, at first, to be a chillingly plausible tale of a hypothetical nuclear attack. But in making one key departure from our reality, it ends up becoming an absurd ...

House of Dynamite on Netflix was fantastic. On the edge of my seat every second. You should watch it if you haven’t already.

But if you’ve seen it, this is obviously the most glaring β€˜problem’ with the movie.

Blade’s air mobility activation will be one of the largest multi-day civilian helicopter movements in U.S. history | Joby Blade announced its role as the Official Air Mobility Partner of the 2025 Ryder Cup, taking place September 25–28, 2025, at the iconic Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, NY.

Whoever authorized 1000 helicopters flying low over Brooklyn today needs to find a new job.

Wtf. @chiosse.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org

The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: β€œJeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells β€˜fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.

Fulton from Franklin to Kingston is an absolute mess with double parked cars and lack of traffic enforcement. The bus cameras ain’t enough. That section of Atlantic is also a bottleneck because of lack of traffic enforcement.
