For instance, this is a bad design. You've taken up half of the painted sidewalk extension space with planters because it's the only way the city can think of to keep drivers from taking up pedestrian space. Just build out the concrete sidewalk!

This part. Senators and Congresspeople being completely unqualified and stupid is only funny if there are electoral and legislative consequences for it.

Has there been a more disappointing figure in the last decade than Bernies Sanders? Like yes I am aware he's always had these tendencies but it seems like from 2016 onward he just decided to speed run associating with cranks and awful people.

So much room for improvement in transit software/display design in the US, made worse by the fact that they could just copy what’s already out there in other countries.

I think we are dropping our @citibikenyc.bsky.social membership this year. It’s not worth it. Yesterday $24 for upper east side to Inwood is an indictment. It’s cheaper to take a cab.

I’m not an editor or trained journalist but it feels like if you have this kind of updated statement from an eyewitness maybe the entire piece and headline should be rewritten, police saw this all unwind and the operator of a 20? 40? ton piece of industrial equipment ignored their orders?
"The truck was turning the corner, and he didn't see them," Puangsawasdi said. "The police were right there, and they were yelling at the truck driver, 'Stop! Stop!' He didn't understand what was going on."

No New Yorker should lose their life just trying to get around our city. We refuse to accept preventable tragedy as an inevitable part of living in New York.  That's why we’ve announced more than 100 policies to make our streets safer over the next 10 years.

Saying you won’t vote for Talarico, who has a very consistent record supporting trans rights, against Paxton, who is actively trying to harm trans people, is the same thing as saying “I am indifferent to what actually happens to trans people” It isn’t principled, virtuous, or logical

“Attention everyone. There are 150 accessible subway stations. Please check MTA.info/elevators for real time elevator status at your station.” It infuriates me to hear this announcement arriving into a station that doesn’t have an elevator. It’s 100% pure noise pollution.

Adam Fisher-Cox @adamfishercox.com · 10/09/2026
Announcement pollution is one of those things that’s a huge problem but complaining about it sounds like nitpicking. It’s a respect and safety issue. Training riders to tune out announcements has consequences when you finally announce something important!

I went to camp with a kid who was easily a foot taller than the other kids. No matter the sport, everyone wanted him on their team and no one complained about it being unsafe or unfair for him to compete against smaller kids. The whole safety and fairness argument against trans kids in sports is BS.

I don’t want to dunk in any one person, as I see this argument a lot, so I’ll post a screenshot rather than quoting it, because this sentiment is common. Peter Thiel has a philosophy degree. Lots of these guys have liberal arts degrees. Credentialism & reverence for institutions won’t save us.

The Transport Workers Union is trying to keep the subway system in the 19th century. In Chicago, DC, Toronto and SF, the same person who drives the train also opens the doors. Tokyo is in the process of converting its two-man lines to one-man operation as we speak.

Another reminder that firefighter/police/emt opposition to policies like congestion pricing, bike lanes, road diets, pedestrianization, etc. typically have nothing to do with legitimate public safety concerns and everything to do with maintaining personal driving and parking privileges.
