@ChrisVannini Great Times

What a downgrade for Beija-Flor, the excellent Brazilian restaurant in Dutch Kills. Their pretty outdoor dining structure is now gone, just so two people can park their cars in front. No more live music outside, I guess, either.
Conservative NIMBYs just hate this city.

@JFrankensteiner @allyzay "You can't handle the truth" was in the original play though

.@TheNY_Groove just turned one and we celebrated with a @timdonnelly scoop: Live Nation quietly bought The Bell House and is pushing out every event that isn’t comedy or a live podcast episode https://t.co/GE7GoXJ7pk

New Yorkers are now far more likely to be killed in a car crash than a shooting.

City data shows 127 people were killed in traffic crashes during the first six months of the year, compared to 82 who were fatally shot.

Traffic in Midtown in June moved at a rate of 4.6 mph - these speeds are bad for our health, bad for the planet, bad for business and bad for New York. https://t.co/AFV9Ok0ry7

July 4th is a busy travel weekend and with traffic moving at the slowest rates recorded in decades - if you are taking a trip - avoid leaving on Wednesday at 2 p.m., when traffic is expected to peak.

What does punishing people for sleeping outside entail? Putting them in jail? Ticketing them? Throwing away their stuff?

All of those things take more money and time than just…providing housing and supportive services

Just like with Christie and the Gateway cancellation, this will cost everyone (yes, "working class drivers" too) SO MUCH more in the long run then if they just let it happen

[Second Ave. Sagas @2AvSagas]

It's actually insane on many levels that the Governor has left the MTA without a source of funding for rolling stock contracts in progress. This will spike costs, particularly for the R211 contracts and subsequent replacements.

I can't stress enough how bad her leadership is.

MTA saying that a Verrazzano Bridge "cable dehumidification project" which helps maintain the bridge cables will be postponed. Shoutout to all the Staten Island elected officials opposing congestion pricing!

[Christopher Robbins @ChristRobbins]

At maybe the biggest MTA board meeting in recent memory, while officials are talking about how the congestion pricing pause will hurt the agency, the camera suddenly pans to boardmember and congestion pricing foe David Mack, who appears to be...sleeping?

Alanis singing O, Canada? That's the ballgame

Congrats to all the Panthers fans who paid for their season ticket packages for next season by selling their Game 7 tickets to Oilers fans.

10 years after Jackie Robinson had already retired and black ballplayers were still being threatened just for existing.

Also: still within the living memory of a lot of our parents and grandparents. Not so long ago.

Reggie Jackson played in Birmingham when he was in the minor leagues back in 1967.

In his return to Rickwood Field, he shared his experience with racism and discrimination.

"Coming back here is not easy."

@joereid So convincing that I wrote a Very Serious "research" paper in high school that cited JFK almost exclusively!

(I did not go to a very good high school.)

Gridlock Gov. Hochul has joined the history books as the next governor to stop work on the Second Avenue subway https://t.co/SYNjkigCnh

Hmmm. Curious.

[Dashiell Bennett @dashbot]

Doesn't seem possible, but the spike actually happened *after* 2020, when the sound of choppers was basically inescapable for a whole summer
