@bdhowald I was taught in Driver’s Ed that you should do this when making a left turn across incoming traffic so that you don’t get T-boned. I don’t remember being taught this for right turns into crosswalks – but it makes sense.
There's an inverse correlation between who think they "trust the science" and the people who actually trust the science on nuclear power.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
I find it telling that when Trump was President they were on this site 27 hours a day, every day tweeting up a storm — but when their constituents had an issue where they could help gather and share info, maybe apply some pressure, etc: 🦗
@PeteM@KeithPowersNYC@bradhoylman@HarveyforNY 11k apartments, more than 20k residents in Stuytown without heat and hot water for over 24 hours caused by a state regulated utility and the elected officials are all silent (except one tweet by Sen. Hoylman that it would be back on by noon 🤣)

@KeithPowersNYC@bradhoylman@HarveyforNY Stuytown has been without heat and hot water for 15 hours. Do you have any updates from ConEd as to when steam service is going to be restored?
18 hours without heat and hot water. Our representatives are too busy partying it up at a ceremonial inauguration for a council member that took office in January to fire off a tweet or get ConEd on the line I guess 😆

I think the answer to this is quite simple: it was the only big project ready and available for announcement. The study was kicked off in Jan 2020, under the prior administration. https://t.co/th7Gx3iAA1
I don't yet have a sense of how Hochul came to the IBX as her signature proposal, but it's instructive to see her take something wonks had been proposing and make it her own vs. how Cuomo would shove his ideas down everyone's throats instead.
@TheLIRRToday@2AvSagas We should also temper our expectations. This plan may very well end up to be one of those failed / languished projects. Given our history, it probably should be the default assumption.
@vanshnook @the_transit_guy They never really run out. We just keep bonding the debt in perpetuity. When bonds mature or more favorable borrowing conditions occur (although this was curtailed under TCJA), the MTA just buys back the bonds and issues new ones.
My heart breaks for the family and loved ones of Yao Pan Ma, who was savagely attacked while collecting cans to get by after he lost his job during the pandemic.
Hate has no place in our city.
