This frame, mid-way thru scrolling, shows the portrait Black Mirror poster sliding behind the horizontal poster. I guess I'm supposed to experience this as the small one growing bigger, but without actually transforming a single object, it feels like I'm controlling two separate interactions.

New contender for worst Apple copywriting, I'm almost impressed by this one. Took me a dozen reads to figure out what the pun or clever wordplay was at all. Why not "It's a new cam era?" Still stupid, at least clear how I'm supposed to read it.

Port Authority incompetence strikes again. The line to tap through the AirTrain turnstiles (a phrase that shouldn’t exist) is a hundred people long. Begging people to drive

Why does DOT use sidewalk materials and tactile pavers on bike ramps? This seems to be indicating to vision-impaired people that they're stepping into a crosswalk, not a bike lane. Isn't the appropriate design tactile pavers to delineate the bike area of the sidewalk from the walking area?

Siri, offering me some information on a photo of Brooklyn, in my camera roll, that it knows is in NYC because of the GPS info embedded in the file, which its already displaying in the exact same panel: “That’s Kansas City.”

Feels like the screens in the new subway cars forgot that some of the route colors are too light for white text. First stop is totally illegible!

A) Population immediately started growing again after Covid
B) Even if it hadn’t, a couple years decline wouldn’t reverse a shortage built up from decades of underbuilding.

Drives me crazy all the little ways this city is car-brained, such as it’s seeming inability to figure out how to keep cars out of a space without walling it off to everyone.
All this needs is to be one inch narrower than a car. Instead a huge concrete barrier forces everyone to a choke point.
