My girlfriend’s dog was named Pup of the Week by his daycare and the Instagram post noted that he sits shotgun in the van they use to transport dogs from one facility to the other (he goes to the bigger outdoor facility, it’s a whole thing). Anyway this photo makes me laugh so much

anyone need a photo of a dog who was given a monk’s tonsure by his vet?

my beloved tattoo artist had Friday the 13th flash based on NYC building typologies and I simply could not resist

I got this email from my mom today. After my dad died I wrote something personal about him for Curbed, and it’s now wiped from the internet. Was it important work? Not really. But it meant a lot to put it out there, and it sucks that it (and so many other people’s personal stories, FWIW) is gone.
A screen shot of an email that says:

subject line: your article about dad 
Body: I don’t have a copy. I saved it but it disappeared. I don’t know where it went and Curbed doesn’t have it on the damn Internet anymore!!! Please send me a copy. Thanks, love you, Mom

In my three years of editing the Weekender I have never seen a weekend with this few service changes. What a time to be!
There are minimal planned service changes, but a winter storm may impact how you get around the city this weekend.

Happy Friday and welcome to the final weekend of 2025! It's going to be a snowy one, with a winter storm expected to hit NYC and the surrounding area later today. This has led to an occurrence we haven't seen in the history of this newsletter: Nearly every planned service change for this weekend has been canceled. (We can't believe it either.) There is one change affecting service on the R on Sunday morning; keep scrolling for details on that.

the entire exchange about dating between Tom Hanks and Rob Reiner in “Sleepless in Seattle” is just so wonderful, and this scene in particular about cute butts is so funny. “Are we grading on a curve?”

why is this in the NYT Cooking newsletter, of all places!!!!!
This has nothing to do with cranberry sauce and pecan pie, but have you been following the drama between Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza, two political writers who were once engaged to each other? If not, this sharp piece from Ginia Bellafante summarizes it best.
