I suspect age is a confounding factor here as well. Trans/non-binary identification and inter-state mobility both skew younger.

If you Louvre it, then you should've put a ring on it.

Huh. “The internal designator for this service is H, though the MTA does not show this on any maps, train rollsigns, or schedules”

Was going to ask if you’re going to zip tie the the ties but… does that thing have disk brakes on the front and regular on the back?

OTOH, 10% chance of less than an inch. So my takeaway is they have no idea how much snow we'll get. www.weather.gov/okx/winter

It’s probably not a great sign for this particular fare gate pilot that everyone is exchanging looks and laughing as they’re going through

"I initially prompted Billie to be 'snarky but professional.' That lasted about three iterations before I decided he should be 'burned out, cynical, and one email away from unemployment.' His current directive is to write emails that are technically professional but carry an undercurrent of menace."

Have you seen @quinnypig.com's new method?

This doesn't mention my favorite NYC snow removal method, which is to block off a street, use a front loader to move the big piles that have developed into the middle of the street, and then repeatedly drive over the snow with dump trucks.

You can't really jailbreak iPhones anymore though, can you? At least not nearly as easily as it once was?

I'm adding a reply at the top of this thread to link to the Ars comment on the story - arstechnica.com/staff/2026/0...

Q&A: Mamdani Biz Regulator Sam Levine Isn't Afraid To Take On Big Tech - Streetsblog New York City Levine's worker and consumer protection agency has emerged as a key regulatory force against the fast-growing delivery app industry.

"Our streets are a public good, and when these app companies are using streets as a means to generate billions of dollars in profits ... I do think they certainly have a shared responsibility to make sure that the streets are safe," said Sam Levine, DCWP commissioner.

We tested those gross piles of snow on NYC's sidewalks. Here’s what we found. The snow may not be as toxic as it looks. You still shouldn’t eat it.

The difference between New Gothamist and Gothamist Classic is there is a non-zero chance Gothamist Classic would have someone on staff eat some of the snow. Just a little bit though gothamist.com/news/we-test...

Here's a page on another site using the same CMS, with the same text in bullets at the bottom: www.standuppac.com/about

Are people thinking this is evidence the bullets were written by an LLM? I think it's much more likely it's text from the template in the CMS used to create the page.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

This post got less confusing to me when I realized it wasn’t about the GDPR

He Leaked the Secrets of a Southeast Asian Scam Compound. Then He Had to Get Out Alive A source trapped inside an industrial-scale scamming operation contacted me, determined to expose his captors’ crimes—and then escape. This is his story.

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.

Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.
