I’ve been quiet here for a while because of reasons- but now I’m joining the discourse on bluesky as brendan-gray

@subtle116 @DubinBen @nyc311 @NYC_DOT @Bklyn_CB9 @nypublicservant @RitaJosephNYC There are lights out at Flatbush and Lincoln as well for 6 month or more, its really dark by the bus stop at the busy corner. Trying to file a request yields an error and email to DOT have not gotten a satisfactory response. @RitaJosephNYC can you help with this as well?

@FatouSadio Ugh I was there. Yeah last big thing before it all shut down.

This is proof film and television employers are increasingly getting into the Games sector of entertainment.

Game Workers deserve the same rights and protections that other unionized entertainment workers already have.

❗️Historic moment for off-Broadway crews❗️

Yesterday, Atlantic Theater workers and allies marched to the NYC NLRB offices to drop off their ballots!

These workers are blazing the trail as they aim to be the 1st stage crew to unionize off-Broadway! 💪

Please complete this short (new?) @NYC_DOT survey, which "seeks to understand how residents of NYC and people who live in the greater metro area (who either commute or are familiar with NYC) relate to cycling in the city."

12 questions, takes 2 min:

This one bus line moves the population of Trenton across the Bronx at a pace that I walk.

The Urbanist Twitter diaspora is a massive loss. Everyone has dispersed to like 8 different platforms….there isn’t a way to easily reach folks like before.

Thanks Elon.

Imagine if the local TV news cared about anything else as much as they care about parking spots. You'd think parking spots are their primary audience.

These age polls don't mean shit. Biden was my 5th choice for nom in 2020, a sundowning mediocrity who hasn't gotten better. Poll me about his age and fitness and he won't like my answers.

But he's all we've got so who cares. If all we had was a rabid possum, I'd be team possum.

The Council should pass our legislation to ban nonessential helicopter travel in NYC ASAP!

.@NYC_DOT promised that the Queensboro Bridge south outer roadway would be open to pedestrians by 2022. Now the deadline has been pushed to mid-2024. This delay is unacceptable and puts pedestrians and cyclists at risk for dangerous crashes. (1/2)

[Ben Carlos Thypin @SoBendito]

Beyond expedited work permits for asylum seekers just being a good idea, it’s about time a NY Democratic politician started seeing this crisis as an opportunity rather than a liability. @SenatorMyrie would be crazy not to primary Adams for Mayor in 2025 imho.

Another life taken from New York traffic violence. Rest in Power.

This is an incredible free resource direct from the absolute experts on everything unions.

@richmintz I live a block off of Empire. It’s a damn shame that certain folks have conspired to keep it the way it is- preferring stagnation to any type of zoning reform.

At the very least, AirTrain should not be free to go to the rental car area while costing $8.25 to go to the subway! The city should be actively trying to reduce the extraordinarily high number of car trips to the airport. This does the opposite.

Not one a of these “pro life” presidential candidates has talked about doing a damn thing about one of the top killers of young people- gun violence.
