There is an entire nation in this photo I took today.

Almost every single one of theee vehicles gumming up the rideshare pickup area at JFK Terminal 1 are private vehicles, not TLC vehicles whose riders pay a fee to access the airport. This is exactly why we should charge drivers $8.50 to use JFK’s roadways and make the AirTrain free.

Their own QR code and link is clear that there have to be charges pressed against the mayor and a trial to hear those charges. You’re living in a fucking fantasy world if you think Kathy Hochul would do that.

If you had to ask me what a Fascist French party leader would look like, this is pretty much exactly what I’d picture in my head.

So are live outdoor viewing parties for sporting events. Though I wouldn’t have been able to get within a half mile of here if the result on Monday had been different.

Funny how the Port Authority justifies Airtrain fare hikes each year by saying they're mandated by inflationary increases, but then can just magically cut fares in half for the summer. It's almost as if this completely unaccountable agency that shrouds everything they do in secrecy is lying to us.

Kathy Hochul can go fuck herself.

If Kathy Hochul is so proud of canceling Congestion Pricing, why didn’t she even mention it once in her newsletter email to NYC constituents?

New York City Democratic voters are the stupidest motherfuckers on the face of the earth. Incredible that 1,405 people in Queens were willing to vote for a convicted domestic offender and Federally-imprisoned corrupt felon to make this primary even close.

Just found out the WooSox wore Pawsox jerseys yesterday and I am beyond incensed.

All three are acceptable! Chile is an accepted spelling, especially in English-speaking areas where they’re widely used in Texas and New Mexico. And it’s typically spelled “chilli” in British English. The English language is weird.

Saw an out-of-place roundel yesterday on the Isle of Wight! (Though not entirely out-of-place — they have one of the retired Class 483s/1938 Tube Stock they’re converting into a cafe.)

Fox News alert: I saw a fox last night.

Always seeking out new and interesting transport modes to ride. Today, I’m traveling by hovercraft.

Yeah, I don’t think he does.

Been avoiding the discourse on here for a few days, doing other stuff in other places.

Utterly depressing thing about NY politics that despite this scumbag being convicted of slashing his girlfriend and serving time in prison on Federal corruption charges, he draws enough donors for campaign flyers and public matching funds. The subway floor is the only place this garbage belongs.

As I was saying.
Business owners also like to project their opinions onto their customers. Let’s be honest; it’s the diner owners who don’t want to pay the congestion toll. They’re not losing any business.

Let me know what diner she’s at Monday, so I can hold a sign with this printed on it over her head.
Hochul says when she goes back to a diner Monday morning, people will be thanking her
Avatar
Anyone else want to print this sign up multiple times so we can hold it on the sidewalk in front of this moron’s diner?
