On the subway this morning, right in front of me, a woman collapsed. I'm not sure if she fainted or had a seizure. What happened was one of those moments of New Yorkers helping New Yorkers that I wish more people from not here knew about.

Heard a major sponsor of the US (men’s) TdF coverage passes on ad buys at the TdFF because “no one watches the women.” Skill issue, tbh.

The ICE agent who shot a man in Minneapolis, left the state, was given refuge in Texas by Gov Abbott, and eventually got criminally charged by the feds... is now at a Hennepin County jail over state charges.

the whole "AI slowdown" thing reminds me of something that I saw outside of a party in college. i was smoking a cigarette and watching a group of drunk fratboys try to slowly drive an SUV down a flight of stairs and into a courtyard.

Great illustrative visual here. #datavis

A chart showing change in emergency response time, by distance to congestion zone boundary.

Locations outside the congestion pricing zone show mostly no change.

Locations within the congestion pricing zone show a drop of around 60 seconds after congestion pricing - with greater drops further inside the zone.

One thing about speed cameras: they're mainly a tax on people who DON'T live in your city (and also they boost safety *mostly for residents* by changing those people's behavior). Kind of a win-win-win for local government.

Aaaaaand, the Health Department has published an evaluation of congestion pricing's effect on air quality. No major surprise that it didn't have a huge effect, but importantly it didn't INCREASE air quality in surrounding neighbs of concern a816-dohbesp.nyc.gov/IndicatorPub...

Absolutely haunting photo go to along with this story.

a screenshot from the NYTimes. A headline reads, "Deaths of 3 ICE detainees prompt questions about medical care." The accompanying photo shoes a building in the dark; three windows are illuminated and we see hazy silhouettes of people in each window, hands raised as if imploring the outside world for help.

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk’s politics, because he is desperate to brand himself an insurgent against the powerful elite, but as the world’s first trillionaire, he needs a definition of “elite” not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

one of the reasons i think this is a story is that it's so much more concrete than abstract failures. iran deal? faraway place, imaginary amounts of money, dueling opinions by analysts on different TV stations. but this? you can see the pictures. same grift and incompetence, more tangible result.
