I should probably learn more about how our legislature works before I mouth off about it lol

I dunno man I think it wouldn’t be a good idea for the Democrats to vote for a Republican permitting reform bill a month before the Republicans are about to get wiped out in the midterms. Like maybe wait to see if you win the Senate and then you can draft your own bill?

Thank you @nysfocus.com and @colinreports.bsky.social for writing this very clear and helpful article on National Grid’s incredibly unusual and suspect “rate freeze” petition

This blog inspired me to read about NYISO’s leadership structure and this made me lol

The New York electric grid is not a political system. It is a physical and economic system built to support the economy and the health and safety of every New Yorker. Reliability decisions must be based on engineering standards, data, and evidence. Market outcomes must reflect real-time supply and demand and send signals for investment where and when it is needed. Long-term planning must consider decades of evolving system conditions. Introducing political pressure into that framework risks distorting decisions in ways that can increase costs, reduce efficiency, and undermine reliability

Zverev’s game seems to match up really well against lefties in general, and finally winning a slam this year probably did something good for his mental game. Shelton needs to play his best and hope that Zverev’s easy draw has left him unprepared

www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/09/10/n... I’ve only tangentially been following the bus electrification issue, but was there ever any consideration at the MTA for setting up a trolley bus system versus procuring battery buses? @jmartineznyc.bsky.social

Shoutout to @thecityreporter.nyc and perhaps @rachelholliday.bsky.social for today’s note in the City Scoop about the Brooklyn Library craft library! The Cricut Maker already has 77 holds 🫪

Screenshot of the Brooklyn Public Library website showing the Cricut Maker 4 and a note that there is only one “copy” of the item and 77 holds on it.

I am just dumbfounded by this framing

With President Donald Trump is skipping the 25th anniversary ceremony of 9/11 and, Republicans and the relatives of some victims demanding New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay away, tomorrow’s ceremony is shaping up less as a truce than as a partisan stage, Politico New York reports.

It’s a great sign when all the ads I see on YouTube are for platforms where people can sell their stuff to make extra money

If I’ve never seen a Black Phoebe IRL do I still get to mark it off my eBird list since it showed up on the #bb28 live feed?

If the restaurant doesn’t look like this inside then frankly I’m not interested

The first night I ever spent in SF was on my friend’s couch at her place at Frederick and Stanyan! I’m sure you will eventually mention a street that doesn’t remind me of a boring anecdote 😅

Let me know if you make it all the way to Great Highway, I used to work at a cafe out there

Saw an especially dumb comment on Reddit and I clicked through to see that the guy recently moved from Reno to Irvine and mostly posts about shopping at Costco and playing pickleball. Some people are fighting terrible and profound battles before our very eyes

If nothing else, he’s showing that an Executive Order could really be about anything. The next president could sign an EO posthumously renaming him “Dead Pedophile”

It’s a pop masterpiece! The big reverb-y sax intro really sets the tone of the whole album: fun, triumphant, kinda wistful

Genuine lol in this morning’s @hellgatenyc.com newsletter

“He spent a lot of time looking down at it, watching the cranes and derricks and earth-moving machines…in the giant trench being cut through mile after mile of densely packed houses," biographer Robert Caro writes. "'And I'll tell you,' says one of the men who spent a lot of time at the old hotel with him, 'I never saw RM look happier than he did when he was looking down out of that window.'"
