I stole this valor from George Carlin. Come for bad opinions about transit, urbanism, politics, baseball, engineering, or anything else I think I know something about. Stay for the inevitable dunking.

Airlines should allow you to jump out of the plane when you fly over your house so you don't need to take a cab home.

Centrists want to give car dealers subsidized loans, and $7,500 direct cash rebates for EVs. I want direct to consumer auto sales to get rid of the scourge of parasitic car salesman on society. We are not the same.

So I'm a dweeb, and a loving pain in the ass for NYC government. So I love the fact that they rolled out 311 via text. If you text 311692 you can just make your complaint to the city without going through the long voice menus. They did this basically without telling anyone, but it's so good.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

Apropos of absolutely nothing. The NYSDOT highway design manual (the document that governs road design in New York State) bike section has not been updated at all in 11 years. It has not been meaningfully updated since it was originally written. Maybe it should change www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/en...

'No way to prevent this,' says only continent where this regularly happens. This post is about Europeans who ideologically refuse to install air conditioning even though they can totally afford it.

Historic rowhouse: vintage ~1900. Solid masonry wall construction with shared party walls, wood floors little insulation. Ductless Mini-Split added to the building in the 2010s. Your excuses are bullshit.

Exclusive: I have seen OpenAI's audited financials for 2024 and 2025. In 2025, OpenAI had $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in costs. $867 million of its revenue came from SoftBank, and $303 million came from Microsoft. www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...

the success of Backrooms means Hollywood now has no excuse but cowardice for refusing to produce a Groverhaus movie.

Ending car dealership franchise laws and legalizing direct to consumer auto sales is a mandatory reform on the path to a more democratic society.

The existence of charities is an indication of the failure of the state to provide for social needs. Every legitimate charity's existence is an unmet societal need which should be state funded. Tax deductible charity is an erosion of democratic rights and should be banned.

The most heinous waste and abuse enabled by the Long Island Railroad pay structure would be eliminated if we just ran third rails all the way out to the end of the Montauk, Oyster Bay, Greenport and Port Jefferson branches. Maybe we should just do that.

I find it very annoying when baseball games are exclusively on streaming services that I don't pay for instead of the cable channels that I stream in my apartment that I mooch off my parents.

In a midnight executive order, Pres. Donald Trump has banned whimsy and light-heartedness. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jefferies have praised Trump's "...Commitment to seriously addressing the lack of seriousness."

Look. I don't think AOC should run for president. But, I think that she would win Stalin margins if she went full leather domme against the Republicans who clearly want her to step on their nuts.
