I thought Twitter was dead but watching the Council Member from Bay Ridge get dragged for bragging about how she reduced new housing and forced more parking is actually peak Tweeting.

John Hammond accepted Nedry's bid while clearly not being fully transparent about the risks, or the scope of the project. Nedry was balancing scope creep with unrealistic deadlines all while managing an egotistical narcissist. And you just know Hammand didn't pay on time.

The more clients I work with, the more I sympathize with Dennis Nedry.

You can really tell how gentrified a neighborhood is by how many unleashed dogs are at the park.

If you duplicitously pose as someone looking for my services so that you can then pitch me whatever nonsense you are selling, you are going to end up signed up for a lot of scented candle mailing lists.

My hot take is libraries should not be closed on federal holidays when the majority of patrons have time to visit them.

Oh, a plague outbreak you say? So glad we have the literal dumbest people on earth running the country.

I’m increasingly convinced that nyc’s three Library systems are either run by people who have never met a child or who actively hate them.

Instead of cancelling the Brooklyn Book Festival marketplace because of rain, it should have been held inside a perception box.

You can’t tell me volume to the ferry wouldn’t be improved by a second lane of traffic.

The one place “one more lane” might actually work is Hot Wheels City but even this place has narrow medieval streets.

Getting elected doesn’t mean you stop answering to the people who sent you there. Kristi Burke is running for Congress in TN 01 to fight for accountability and remember exactly who she works for. She’s a Courage Candidate, and she’s on the ballot this November.

I suspect one reason Gen Z is drinking less is bartenders forgetting how to efficiently tend bar.

Ian MacAllen @ianmacallen.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I know I don’t get out much but wow, Gen z is cooked. People not taking off their backpacks on the subway, standing on the left size of escalators, taking their sweet time to the platform when the train is coming into the station. What are we even doing here? Send those kids back kindergarten.

Absolutely have to love the public recreational facilities that are closed on holidays. It's almost as if they are designed to minimize the number of people who have access to museums and libraries.

for our company newsletter this month we wrote about Business Weird, and i think the section of our website that's just a daily selection of pie photos is probably a good illustration

I just take the photos and eat the pie.

Repetition is Good. Repetition is how you make your point. Repetition is how you reach the vast majority of the population that doesn't follow politics closely. Impeach Now. Impeach Often. Impeach Relentlessly.
