Speed bumps probably wouldn't have stopped last week's violent car street takeover in Vickie Paladino's Northeast Queens district.

But something needs to be done about the wide open intersections that invite reckless driving in neighborhoods all over the city. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/24/s...

In Oslo, four articulated buses trapped themselves in a roundabout yesterday.

We partnered with @pablo.show to investigate Riley Gaines' rise to MAGA stardom. @msjpauly.bsky.social dug up docs that reveal the right-wing funders behind her ascent and spoke to puzzled teammates who wonder what happened to her.

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.
it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

great piece about why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social should stick to his guns re: taking transit and biking as mayor.

but beyond that, in awe of @ndhapple.bsky.social who got a quote from Sid Davidoff about Mayor Lindsay's transportation habits days before he passed nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/18/s...

Zohran Mamdani spent his mayoral campaign riding the subway and biking around — but the demands of City Hall may test his transit habit.

A detail not totally-widely-reported in this piece is that Mastro had been petitioned to do this by two pols who have big roles next year:

* Julie Menin (councilmember who is on track to be Council Speaker)
* Mark Levine (Comptroller-elect and is angling to invest NYC back into Israel bonds)
