This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

We mourn our craft I didn’t ask for this and neither did you. I didn’t ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off o…

Well said, @nolanlawson.com.

Software engineering is changed and we can mourn it but we can’t stop it.

Getting off the C train I thought β€œthat was the most peaceful commute I’ve had in months. Plenty of seats, no one said a word, nothing terrible happening”

Next train: there’s not only someone kneeling in front of everyone begging, but there’s also a guy playing guitar.

Cosmic balance I guess

Workers unloading a truck parked in a curbside lane between private vehicles, outside the window of a coffee shop

Sitting at the window of a coffee shop on Atlantic Avenue for an hour, I’ve watched two delivery trucks pull seamlessly into a wide space on the curbside lane that happens to be open, keeping traffic moving. Really makes me long for loading zones instead of parking on commercial corridors

This would run counter to congestion pricing goal of reducing traffic, plus increase inequities in our systems after so many years of flat rate.

A hardcover copy of the book Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile by Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon, and Aaron Naparstek rests on a light marble surface. The cover is yellow-bordered with bold black text on white. In the center, an illustration shows a traffic light overgrown with green vines and flowers, symbolizing nature reclaiming space from cars.

After an annoying bike ride home dodging drivers running red lights and parking in the bike lane, this felt like the perfect thing waiting on the table.

Pentagon Official: Trump Boat Strike Was a Criminal Attack on Civilians A current DoD official and many military legal experts say the U.S. attack on a boat in the Caribbean near Venezuela broke international law.

A high-ranking Pentagon official told The Intercept Trump's strike on a boat in the Caribbean was a criminal attack on civilians. Two government officials said Pete Hegseth's rationale for the attack came together after the fact.

This is a way better use of space than one parked car. And a nicer view from the coffee shop bar seating!

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

After a deadly weekend of three car crash deaths, today we're in court fighting Mayor Adams' attempt to rip up safety improvements on Bedford.

The Department of Transportation warns: β€œThe City risks legal liability for knowingly reducing safety on a Vision Zero priority corridor.”

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This is fascism, no other way to describe it. Brad Lander is a candidate for mayor, and the city comptroller.
