Yeah, just got here. Not more than 50 across the street. I’m sure that’s not how it will be presented on the news.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

I'm also wondering how these folks think CBE and Mamdani could have known when they scheduled this that a war that has been going on for two years was going to "end" this week. Incredible how many people have just lost their brains.

I'm heading up soon. Will see!

Maybe these people should be more upset over the fact that Cuomo was invited to speak at CBE today and declined. Only Mamdani and Sliwa seem interested in engaging with Jewish New Yorkers.

Imagine if CBE had invited all three candidates for an event today and Zohran had said no. These same people would have said he was disrespecting the Jewish community by not coming this week of all weeks, when the ceasefire had been brokered and the hostages were being released. There's no winning.

This is my synagogue & the conspiracies about why Zohran is appearing today are wild First, all major candidates were invited. (Sliwa is speaking tonight.) Was he supposed to come over the high holidays? Can't imagine people would've been okay with that. It's 3 weeks before the election. It's fine.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

One of these books is ours!

Anyway, I am once again asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to come on the podcast.

We'll see what happens, but given the dominion the mayor has over city streets — as opposed to state-controlled things like bus fares and taxing millionaires — @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has the potential to be a transformative mayor, a la Anne Hidalgo, when it comes to safety and livability.

And tickets for our publication day party at Book Club Bar on the Lower East Side are almost gone! Free, but you have to RSVP. Books will be available for sale at the party.

It should give you the option to just buy a ticket. Also possible that it's now sold out. I can check.

Literally down to the last few tickets for our Life After Cars live show at The Bell House with special guest Janette Sadik-Khan. Get 'em before they're gone! Will be a very fun night.

Working under the theory that Dodge Charger drivers are the biggest assholes I'm looking up the plate of every one I see in NYC on HowsMyDriving and putting in how many violations they have. The doc is editable if you want to add your own docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

"Make cities safe and fun for kids to run around and play in" is a pretty good guiding light for urban planning

Now with proper link!

Just added another "Life After Cars" book tour stop: White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, NJ on January 21st. Tickets are on sale now!

I gasped so loud my wife thought something was wrong. So sad. We've lost one of the greats.

Yes, the ones in NYC are always slammed... and no parking!

She once made fun of me for being a "media producer" or "creative content producer" or something like that and not understanding how real New Yorkers live and I was like, aren't you a photographer and tour guide or something? She assumes I'm rolling in it when, as a longtime freelancer, I am not!

Yeah, it really depends on the environment around the store. And even a small parking lot sucks to walk or bike through!

This is it 100%.

We love this. Thank you! And thanks for supporting independent bookstores!
