I would hang out underneath this freeway, because it appears to only be about 20 feet long, which lets plenty of sunlight in to grow those beautiful plants.

Streetsblog published a piece by Mike Flynn explaining why rebuilding the BQE was the only option. I don’t know why they’re still attacking him over this unless there’s something factually wrong in his piece. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/09/23/o...

Opinion: The Toughest Choice Was The Only Choice On The BQE - Streetsblog New York City

People have lots of opinions about what should happen to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, but the only opinion that matters is the one belonging to the Transportation commissioner. So here it is.

Last time there was a Connecticut Warbler in Pelham Bay Park I forgot to put a memory card in my camera. I had good luck with a cooperative bird and a functioning camera this time #bronx 🪶

The other day I saw one of my favorite shorebirds: the Yellow-rumped Warbler #bronx 🪶

A little brown streaked bird perched on a reed just above a pond covered in duckweed.

This Say’s Phoebe I found a my kids’ cross county meet was a new New York state bird for me, but not a lifer, so I got a donut instead of pie.

My Instagram algorithm periodically feeds me clips of Sliwa’s radio show where he’s praising Mamdani. I think he really does like the mayor.

I’m a pretty casual reader and don’t follow the industry at all, so when I see a book won an award I’m more likely to buy it.

This Dunlin was hanging out with some Sanderlings at Stone Harbor, NJ and it was inspired by them to run up and down the beach. 🪶

I, for one, am intrigued by the idea of robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.

It’s interesting that it has the correct shape of NJ in the upper left, but the map itself looks more like Belarus.

The opposing team’s pitcher going deep into the game, getting gassed, and giving up a big home run is great for my fan experience.

I ask myself this all the time. I was born here, but moved away when I was eight. Moved back in my 20s for 10 years. Moved away for a few years and then moved back to raise my kids here. Am I a transplant?

I keep seeing polls like this for Iowa, but then I see Minnesota polls where the results are inside the margin of error. What’s going on in Minnesota?

Clearly you need to buy a condo in Florida to start getting your money’s worth.

I got pretty lucky seeing close-range shorbs with my bins, but I always try to scope a Parasitic Jaeger or two harassing terns on The Rips, and couldn’t make one out without my scope.

It’s hilarious that they only interviewed people who live closer to the existing route. What about the people who will live closer to the new route?

Then why is Trumps overall approval higher than his approval on inflation specifically?

Tim Graves @ibirdsometimes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

There a million things that are different between now and then, but I don’t know any differences that would explain why people are madder about 3% inflation than 13% inflation.

My friend manages a liquor store and he said that a lot of customers won’t buy beer if it costs more than $20, which is why a lot of brewers are switching to four-packs of 16-oz cans.

People responded the same for 45 years, and then stopped responding the same a few years ago.

Trump has been a proponent of tariffs since the 80s. He really thinks it’s the secret trick to unlocking American prosperity that everyone else has been too stupid to use. The fact that he can use them for corruption is just a side benefit.

Calling it just “Hostos” is kind of confusing if you don’t know what it is, but I don’t think they had room for “Eugenio María de Hostos Community College of The City University of New York” on the signs.

They’ve been adding the names of colleges to a lot of subway stations that serve them recently.
