That juvenile great blue heron at the Central Park Pool finally caught a fish! Of course, I was standing behind a tree looking at a black-and-white warbler, but managed to get this shot. Looks like a sizeable fish. Hurrah, heron! #birdcpp
@terrencemcd There's a disturbing number of young people who consider everything and everyone as content. Also as disturbing as a grocery story chain unbothered by employees recording customers' credit cards information.
@terrencemcd I read a bunch of archived articles about the 1994 Giants Stadium World Cup and there were SO MANY about the grass (also that the tickets cost a record amount, complaints that parking/shuttles were too expensive, and "no don't walk to the stadium"). Deja Vu.
"Organizers are expecting more than 500,000 fans to turn out for the games at the Meadowlands sports complex. They have paid some of the highest prices in American sports history to obtain their seats, as much as $300." Throwback to Giants Stadium in 1994
Both FIFA and the Murphy administration walked back the “free” public transportation requirement in 2024 — when @northjersey was the only one reporting on this and had the contracts and addenda.

Let this also be a PSA to support local news
These images are literally night and day!
The Artemis II crew took the left photo on their way to the Moon. It shows Earth at night, lit only by moonlight, using long exposure camera settings. The photo from Apollo 17 shows Earth’s surface during the day, lit by sunlight.
I was wondering how they'd handle the limited capacity issue of the Metlife line (which arose during the Super Bowl). Seems their solution is "only World Cup fans will use the trains." Solves one problem, I guess.
