@ffootballXchamp @JackPhillyRE It's walking distance to all of CC and on top of a major subway line. It needs less parking.

@galaeiphilly What is the parade route today? You guys are saying it ends at Locust, but the city says it ends at Arch St on *north* Broad. Which is it? Why can't I find a map of the parade route anywhere, (like your web site)?

FTR, Musk is using his company to actively promote a tool to steal subscription content from news publishers.

It’s likely retaliation for a news report which includes Musk’s prior statements.

Ironically, it’s a news report about free expression which he claims to support. 1/2

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away.
Super pissed

@bluesky Rec’d my invite. Having difficulty. Is the official app called “Bluesky” or “Bluesky Social”? I don’t want to download some impostor malware app, but I can’t find an app called “Bluesky Social” per instructions. Or is the email not genuine?

@BlvdSubway Does?

I hope people are paying attention to this: First, Texas A&M allowed politically motivated outsiders to detail the hiring of a Black journalism professor from UT, and now this?? It’s sickening…

@thecitywanderer YES! The technology exists where they don't actually need to keep your physical card, so why isn't this LAW?

It’s here! IBO’s in-depth analysis of the #MSG tax exemption that has cost NYC more than $946.7m. The subsidy lacks oversight requirements such as data reporting, employment terms, sunset dates, scheduled periodic review, & discretionary city control. https://t.co/NZo231Thu5

Twitter securing that rarified "Taliban member endorsement" over meta's threads is the stuff marketing campaigns are made of

Madison Square Garden is basically a scam on taxpayers.

[Alex Armlovich @aarmlovi]

MSG is the funniest "economic development" deal in NYC history

Tax breaks are intended to keep highly mobile biz from leaving

But MSG famously refuses to relocate under any circumstances

It's the least mobile business in Manhattan, yet they get paid $50m/year to stay 😂😭

Can’t stop thinking about this story. A *QUARTER* of all CT State troopers wrote tens of thousands of fake tickets to fake white people, likely to hide over-policing of minorities. Both the number of tickets and the share of troopers is ASTOUNDING.

@alexeheath @jonah I've gone back and read the tweet several times... Nah, I would never assume he meant vs. other apps. I just don't get that interpretation. (And damn you for making me sound like an Elmo defender. 🙃 )

@tylercowen More density requires more efficient use of roads and tunnels. That means fewer single-occupancy cars, the least efficient mode of transit there is. Already, car owners are a minority in NYC, and a wealthy minority. You think the artist class can afford a car in NYC?! Get real.
