This is such an obvious, well-known, long-running issue and no one with the power to do anything about it cares nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/05/z...

The fact that kids look similar to both parents is simultaneously the most self-evident fact in all of human developmental history, and also somehow shocking to me every time.

“That kid looks a little like his mom, and a little like his dad!”, I say gobsmacked as I fall out of my chair yet again

Is @hellgatenyc.com or someone else working on the Gen X/Xennial “Bars That Shaped a Generation” oral history feature? I’m hearing Siberia, Continental, Alibi, Fish Bar, so many others…

my real nyc RETVRN take is we need to reopen The Continental, the saint marks bar with the infamous 5 shots for $10 deal

Siberia — the legendary '90s and aughts dive bar that was located in a subway station and closed down in 2007 — has made its triumphant return, and @davecolon.bsky.social bravely agreed to go drink there and get the full scoop nygroove.nyc/siberia-bar-...

I lived near Alibi later in my 20s! I was already older than the main clientele, but it definitely had “bar that shapes people” vibe

Josh Hadro @hadro.bsky.social · 18d

It was something special! A band I was in played at the second location a few times from like 2004-2007. Fond, fond memories

The only sketchier place my cohort of the era frequented was Desmond’s Tavern on Park Ave, which while superficially less sketchy, is the only place I’ve seen a rat literally fall through the ceiling during happy hour.

I learned a lot about how to be (and how not to be!) an adult in NYC by drinking at Siberia.

Award-Winning Reporter Dave Colon @davecolon.bsky.social · 19d

Siberia, which developed a well-earned reputation as the city's scummiest dive in the 90s and aughts, is back in its rightful place: a weird little alcove in a subway station nygroove.nyc/siberia-bar-...

Siberia, one of New York City’s scummiest dive bars, has reopened — again

The late '90s dive bar inside a subway station has found a new home inside a different subway station, two decades after shutting its doors.

The best evidence that this new speed limit is a haphazard, half-assed initiative is that the Adams administration seemingly has no coherent plan for implementing it.

I tell my kid just about every day: “if this isn’t nice I don’t know what it,” and my greatest hope is to be around when she figures out that’s a quote and the context in which it was originally meant.

I first saw Sneakers in college. The year was 1992 and I was 17. They did a special screening on campus because Lawrence Lasker was an alum. Anyway, it was the first movie I saw Robert Redford in and it was CINEMA. Best movie ever. RIP to that handsome unproblematic man.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I get that her comms team is just writing what her elderly constituent voting bloc want to hear, but it drives me nuts that she'd dedicate an email to a phantom issue that isn't anywhere near the top 10 problems in her district she could be highlighting.

Josh Hadro @hadro.bsky.social · Sep 10

Crystal Hudson just sent out an email blast telling ebike riders to "SLOW DOWN!"

Where's the email blast to car drivers responsible for 99% of the injuries & deaths?
Where's the outrage about ghost plates?
Or how about the single 2024 Kia Forte terrorizing her district and racking up speeding tix?
