I kept digging into that AI company behind Sports Illustrated's fake writers. Turns out it's created tons more fake writers across the web, sometimes for surprisingly huge media clients. And then things get even wilder...

From Eric: "Our shared history is complex, painful for some and shared by us all; if we hide aspects in order to make people feel comfortable, they aren't really learning."

Thankful that we haven’t had much sloppy weather this year and that Queensboro Bridge was clear this morning but damn if Sunnyside Yards wasn’t a lousy mess. Gonna ask for the umpteenth time what agency is responsible for maintenance? @NYCSanitation @NYC_DOT @amtrak @LIRR

Really looking forward to tonite’s commute…I’m sure the 311 complaints that are already closed must have done some good.

[Rich Mudge @rich_mudge]

Who the hell do you have to contact in this city to get bike lanes on bridges salted/cleared? Queensboro Br path was the all too typical mess this morning. It’s only a key piece of infrastructure & this wasn’t exactly a surprise/several feet of snow that drained resources.

[Rich Mudge @rich_mudge]

Love nothing more than to roll up on an unsalted, slick bridge that’s a giant slip and slide. Thank goodness the relatively dry road bed has salt.

@gtra1n Argh, similar nonsense this evening, too. Traditions In Swing suddenly cut off for Sat. Night at the Opera now back to TIS. Is anyone even at the station? It wasn’t this bad when the station was closed during the pandemic.

Anyway, DM if you want the name of who to avoid in NYC and on a more positive note; a lovely and reliable local moving company that has moved us twice now.

[Rich Mudge @rich_mudge]

You can’t make this shit up: rescheduled our move from yesterday to today only to find out from our super that Sunday is a no moving day for our building. Didn’t realize that and he didn’t like that I don’t give a shit so he’s being a fucking passive aggressive pest.

[Rich Mudge @rich_mudge]

Literally pushed past the movers at one point and knocked over several boxes “by accident”. I mean, that’s some sorry behavior. This is the 2nd time we dealt with this management company and they have directly made our move a PITA. Should’ve learned the first time…
