Am I watching an AI video of Robert Moses with a southern accent mashed up with a video of a minion being crucified? Is this the video that gets Gen Z to understand Robert Moses?

I am officially too old for the communication approach of this youtube video.

The ultimate irony of Robert Moses was that he was a misanthrope who never learned to drive.

The Power Broker is now available for Kindle so you don't have to slice it into three books to read on the train like the old days.

In junior high they taught us that Walt Whitman invented the mall and Robert Moses invented the beach.

The games on PIX have been getting fewer and fewer for many years. Before we had Cablevision in Huntington my mom would sit in the family room with a walkman and start screaming if good things happened on WHN or WFAN.

Texans can no longer afford the state fair in Donald Trump's economy. Or they fear the secret police. Or both. Either way, this represents nearly a 20% DROP in attendance over last year.

Republicans have managed to kill a huge revenue source for the state and hundreds of businesses.
State Fair of Texas sees 400,000 drop in attendance compared to 2024, with cost cited as key factor by families
The 2025 State Fair of Texas drew about 2 million visitors, roughly 400,000 fewer than last year, as many families cited affordability concerns.

These townhouses were right next to a light rail station on a future line and I was picturing future us taking the DART from the airport instead of having octogenarians assure us they are fine driving on the expressway in the dark.

My buddy works at the plant in Plano and he says they just spray starch foam out a firehose and then a certified ninja slices it up as it's headed into the fryer.
