@PopBase what was going on: the faa says a telecommunications outage hit its air traffic control centers, so departures were held nationwide for about four and a half hours. nearly 5,000 flights were canceled, with more expected this weekend

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@sentdefender new york's share so far: laguardia has 253 cancellations, second only to chicago o'hare, and jfk has 204. that's flightradar24's count as of 6:45 pm

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@espn @PeteThamel for anyone asking what it means: planes on the ground can't take off, the ones already in the air still land. the last nationwide ground stop was january 2023

@Mearokii made this for anyone heading there tomorrow. 7 lines on saturday, the B and 5 are weekday only

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@Mearokii for the visitors: the subway gives about 4 million rides on a weekday, and police log about 6 major crimes a day across the whole system

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@numiii and if you get one, getting there is the easy part

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@lolesports if you’re going tomorrow: the arena sits right on top of a subway station, and 7 lines stop there on saturday

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

Sources: MTA. The trains stop “directly below the arena.” On weekdays the B and 5 stop there too. Times Square to Barclays is about 20 minutes on trip planners. https://t.co/PZZTrp140O

@PopBase the details: passed 44-5, kicks in a year after it’s signed, fines up to $1,000 per violation. the council says sales, loyalty programs and student or veteran discounts stay legal

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@PopBase for anyone asking what it is: a company using your personal data to set a price just for you, so two people can pay different prices for the same thing. the bill bans that in nyc

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@imperfectfordre @PopBase the tools exist and are for sale, that part is documented. how often stores actually use them, nobody has measured

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@bluejordy_ @PopBase nobody had to, there was no rule against it. since last november new york state has only required a label saying the price was set using your personal data

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@ChannyVie @PopBase the ftc looked into it in 2025. pricing software can use your location, browsing history, even your mouse movements and what you left in the cart. the companies selling it had at least 250 business clients

@AMAZlNGNATURE ok but how big is a humpback, actually? here’s one next to a subway car and a city bus

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@factpostnews for scale: a big humpback is about as long as a subway car, and about as heavy

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

@gothamwhale how big a full-grown one gets, next to a subway car and a city bus. your catalog going from 5 to 500 is in there too

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

Sources: NOAA Fisheries (humpbacks reach about 60 feet and 40 tons). Whale count from @gothamwhale's New York City Humpback Whale Catalog. A 60-foot subway car weighs a little over 40 tons. https://t.co/cUW2RHqz6B

[UhSpot - NYC in charts @uhspot]

A humpback whale swam up the Hudson today. A big one is as long as a subway car and weighs about as much.

Whale watchers have identified 500 humpbacks off New York City. Their catalog started with 5.

@Breaking911 nyc gets about 10 more inches of rain a year than seattle, and it shows up like this: fewer rainy days, bigger downpours
