The F/M lines have officially swapped today (permanent change) between Queens and Manhattan.

Confusingly: This is only weekday day hours! Late nights & weekends, the F will still stop at 21 St-Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Lexington Av/63 St, and 57 St. And the M doesn't run north of Delancey.

New NYC Ferry routes go in effect today.

In September, I watched the two-part HBO documentary on Billy Joel (recommended!). So I started looking over album covers.

I started staring at the “An Innocent Man” cover and knew this was obviously in Manhattan, but I became obsessed with finding the location.

Answer: Mercer Street in SoHo.

This new ADA entrance to the Church Ave station opened just over a week ago, and the Manhattan-bound elevator is already out of service.

The MTA needs to do so much better than this endless shoddy work.

Went to the Cloisters today.

Question for anyone who knows Google Forms or Google Docs well:

So a while ago, I added an add-on to a Google form my organization uses regularly: Form Notifications

I needed to update some of the notification settings, but now when I click into the add-on, it’s just blank.

What’s going wrong?

Walked the entire length of Central Park today, north to south.

This was after a long Harlem tour.

Did about 31,500 steps today.

It was a truly beautiful mid-November afternoon to walk through Green-Wood Cemetery. 🍂🪦

Definitely in the last week of peak color here in the city.

Green-Wood Cemetery on a grey November was full of (fading) Autumn color.

The new ADA-compliant entrance at the Church Ave station (B/Q) opened this week. ♿️

Only took 16 months!

As AI gets more sophisticated, the amount of this shit you’re gonna see across social media is gonna grow, as is the percentage of the population incapable of recognizing it as fake.

This will clearly only have negative impacts on people and society, and it’s insane that no one in power cares.
November 10, 2025 at 3:23 PM
The real area where this is gonna quickly become a nightmare is the legal system.

There’s gonna be so much AI generated “evidence” thrown into cases that’s going to take armies of lawyers to sift through.

The growing embrace of this slop technology is going to fuck with society in so many ways.

I mean, this was a movement of (mostly white) leaders putting their own wider pet causes ahead of the needs of various organizations.

Here, censoring, a Black leader for being… insufficiently devoted to social justice? This whole entire era of progressivism was a farce.

Central Park today. 🍂

They planted a new tree in Midtown.

I was in a section of West Harlem (by City College) that is part of the pilot program for these new bins. I hope the new Mayor expands this, and it truly will be one of the better parts of the Eric Adams legacy.

Look at how nicely these fit into the city streetscape, even if a few car owners cry.

I mean, here’s a prime example of everything that was wrong with this era of left-wing activism and politics.

A group of white people censoring a black leader… in the name of “social justice”.

Imperative to come to grips with how toxic this all was, and not just because swing voters reviled it.

Here’s what the Midtown skyline looks like from Hart Island, around 17 miles away.

Joined fellow guides yesterday for a rare visit to Hart Island, off the northeast coast of the Bronx.

This is the city’s potters field, a place for burials for those who are not claimed by families, cannot afford a funeral, and the like. Over 1 million people are buried here.

Since today is the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos), I stopped in the Green-Wood Chapel for: "Reposo y Recuerdo: Ofrenda de Día de Muertos", by Laura Anderson Barbata.

From the official description:
It "transforms the landmark building into a meditative space for contemplation and connection.“

Happy Halloween from the MTA! 🎃 👻
