The plan: Build a 200-room, 300-bathroom data center, 70% subsidized by federal and local governments. Make it accessible to the train. Build a supermarket for the 800 people doing 24/7 on-site maintenance. Call it the future of technology. Make OpenAI pay for the rest. Then let people move in.

I read an account a while back of a cyclist who was almost (or actually) hit by a car and smacked the hood with his hand in anger. The driver called the cops and the cyclist got a ticket for some arcane law. The streets are so fucked.

Fun fact: in many places you can be ticketed/fined for "assaulting" cars, even if they had just almost killed you!

Highly recommend the podcast 9/12, which talks about the Onion launch party and the issue in one of its episodes. It's by the great Dan Taberski of Manifesto fame and still holds up, several years later. I've re-listened many times.

Comments on this article are a bummer. Consensus seems to be cyclists all had it coming to them for not obeying traffic rules. And -- in an article covering 3 deaths by car -- multiple people commented that their BIGGEST FEAR is getting hit by a bicycle. Bonkers.

Getting all my political talking points from the comments of the pro wrestling subreddit from now on.
There have been more school shootings in the 2026-2027 school year (which started last week) than there are transgender athletes competing. This is a nothing issue pushed by nothing people while the rich continue to rob us blind.

Summer Streets is fantastic, but it's rough in Wash Heights. All of Bway's closed but the W lane is blocked and the E lane has too many cops and cars. Many choke points with staffers screaming to either stop or go. Vibe sucks. Hopefully next year's better. 🤞 @nyc-dot.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

"I think the murder of a CEO will be treated as dangerous, in a way that millions and millions of people suffering for years in despair and dying broke decade after decade never has been, because our society values corporate profit over human health."

It's only a pied-à-terre tax if it's in the pied-à-terre region of Manhattan. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling money-laundering tax.

The Democrats' big climate law created over 500 factories across the country. 9 in 10 of them are still moving forward, under a president who promised to kill them. Plus they gave the Democrats 2.5 million more votes. The climate law worked. Read more on substack. electricnotes.news/p/no-the-dem...

The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Bikes rarely hit people. If they do, the cyclist also gets hurt, so the incentive to avoid collisions is high. When cars hit people -- or cyclists -- the driver never gets hurt. If they "stay on the scene" and aren't drunk, they might even get a medal of honor.

As for your study, it should be illegal to sell, operate, or service any vehicle that can go over 25 MPH in the city limits.
