The Monopoly-style game board about the NYC subway that I designed was covered by @RahhalEmily at @PIX11News, and she did an awesome job!

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, but I want to address one question that keeps coming up 🧵

Has there ever been an op-ed that aged worse than this one?

By far the best attribute of Zohran’s mayoral stay so far is the bold “we can just do that” of moments like this.

This is so great. Years ago I was in Vienna, and outside the opera house was a screen playing the same opera that was happening inside. Families with kids in strollers, elderly people, immigrants, a whole smattering of society gathered to watch. I was struck by how beautiful the scene was, and how reflective of a deeply-held cultural value that the arts matter for everyone, not just those who can afford the top-tier experience.

I realize the Knicks are not the Viennese opera. But hell yeah to a city that includes all its residents in its big moments.

here’s a more detailed close-up comparison of Liquid Glass on iOS 27 and on iOS 26!

iOS 27 Connectivity Assist just auto-activated.

Even though I have 3 bars of WiFi, it augmented that with cellular. 🙌 So awesome.

(I don’t see anywhere else saying when it’s on.)

they’re saying that it’s a gochujang summer

[Dylan @DylanMcD8]

Genuinely hope they get sued over this. Unacceptable.

Despite having a few power plants of its own, Jeju is interconnected to the main Korean domestic grid by 3 large undersea power cables. Neat overview via https://t.co/XVBRRzaN97

TIL that Apple created 4 themes for Windows, available in the Microsoft Store:

Severance
Ted Lasso
The Morning Show

Koronet Pizza looks to be opening in the long-dormant storefront within the 42nd Street subway station.

Koronet is notably Mayor Mamdani's favorite pizza spot.

It has a longtime location on Broadway, between West 110th and 111th streets.

A rather liminal night at the Poughkeepsie train station in Poughkeepsie, New York. This old station is a is a major transportation hub connecting the Hudson Valley to New York City and beyond. It serves as the northern terminus for the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line.

“In the subway” means on the platform. “On the subway” means in the train car. NYC is its own language

[The LIRR Today @TheLIRRToday]

People love to hate on NYC Ferry. But it's one of the few examples of how we have meaningfully increased access to transit in the last 2 decades.

de Blasio was good for sticking with it.

It's a shame NY doesn't leverage its waterways more!

[South Korean Macroeconomist @SKR_Economist]

Ah look. Basically Banpo dong.

[cowboy postbop @cowboy_postbop]

the previous subway map also did not conform to geographic reality; lower Manhattan is not that wide, its rendered like that to make room for the text of a bunch of stations. a subway map does need to be geographically hyperaccurate, its meant to convey train info.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

best way to stop subway surfing is with open gangway subway cars that essentially make it physically impossible to get on the outside of a train while it is moving. plus an added bonus of increased capacity

really hope the next MTA rolling stock purchase goes fully open gangway

[fully fund transit @crosstown_line]

now is the time for an Upper Manhattan expansion

NYC summers hate your weekends.

I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real.

It was.

27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain.

That’s 71%.

Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans.

Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits.

Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery.

The wildest stat:

70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday.

The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall.

I built a full dashboard using NWS Central Park data with every weekend tracked and every raindrop counted:

this is hilarious
