The Council could have prevented the death of a tourist by passing this last year, but they decided that tossing Adrienne Adams' salad was more important. They're so damn pathetic. gothamist.com/news/nyc-counc…

Me in 1997 watching my grandfather vote for Roberto Alomar at Shea Stadium to be an All Star:
"What are you doing, that guy's an asshole."
"No, he's good."
"You're thinking of Sandy Alomar, this is his son, the spitter."
"Oh. How do I fix this?"
"Too late, you punched it out." 🤦

The Phillies have the 1776 shtick down forcing the All Stars to sign the Declaration of Independence, but their fans are booing all the colonies that signed it.

@QueensCrapper @yohohosuke47933 @Blizzard_Advsry I agree the Bloomberg administration accelerated pro-big developer policies.
I also agree speculative real estate investment by big business hurts locals like us.
I disagree with your characterization of 85-05 as "natural evolution" and blame some of our current woes on it.
English
NYC was a much better place when it evolved naturally rather than its change being dictated by moneyed interests looking for their next payday. Now we have planners who just moved here declaring that long timers should move so their betters can take over their nabes. Fuck off.
English
@ArisStagira @yohohosuke47933 @Blizzard_Advsry The major development didn’t occur until after Bloomberg pushed for up zonings throughout the boroughs during his tenure.
English
@QueensCrapper @yohohosuke47933 @Blizzard_Advsry And that is in part because of over development.
But I blame the development you see as good, in part, because the developers taking tax breaks in the 90s weren't thinking about how the grid would deal in 2026.
English
@yohohosuke47933 @Blizzard_Advsry @ArisStagira Well when the power constantly goes out, the streets regularly flood and we have 911 response times that constantly tick up, I'd say our infrastructure can't handle the development we have now but I guess we just have to build more because you think so.
English
@Blizzard_Advsry @QueensCrapper @ArisStagira "Overdeveloped". Lol, that says all I need to know about this fool.

Me: I'm going to eat healthy
Lettuce: I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea
Oreos in the pantry: I would never do that to you

@ArisStagira @yohohosuke47933 And I guess I am suggesting that I don't really care what you think.
English
@QueensCrapper @yohohosuke47933 And I guess I'm suggesting that your own nostalgia is not a good index of NYC's development and to avoid sweeping generalizations.
English
@ArisStagira @yohohosuke47933 I am also talking about during my lifetime which is not 1840.
English
@ArisStagira @yohohosuke47933 I am talking about the built environment

@QueensCrapper @yohohosuke47933 Can you point to it on this graph?
Percentage of New York City population growth by decade.
Red = BX
Green = BK
Blue = MN
Orange = QN
Purple = SI
Source: U.S. Census
*Note: until 1890, The Bronx included all of Westchester and Queens most of Nassau Country.

@ChambersL614 @VickieforNYC I was referring to planners. You do realize that is a profession, yes?
English
@QueensCrapper @VickieforNYC …and I still think you were referring to Mamdani so you are welcome to prove to me I’m wrong, but again, you won’t because you can’t since you can’t even clearly explain who you did mean.
English
@yohohosuke47933 It means growth that was gradual and sustainable instead of massive top-down upzonings that wipe entire communities off the map.
English
@ChambersL614 @VickieforNYC Where did I mention Mamdani? You're a reading specialist? 🤣
English
@QueensCrapper @VickieforNYC Who are these “planners who just moved here” in your mind?
Because if you mean Mayor Mamdani, he’s been in NYC since he was a second grader. Isn’t that long enough to be INCLUDED instead of EXCLUDED?
Because if not, that’s pure xenophobia and bigotry on your part.
English
@ArisStagira LOL because the e-bikers either don't know how to ride or are riding like assholes. That's why they should be regulated like motorcycles.
English
@QueensCrapper "Annual case volume and electric device involvement increased over time. The most common mechanism was collision with a motor vehicle ..."
With more people biking, it's not hard to believe more car drivers are hitting bicyclists, causing injuries.

@uf__001 @jknordlander @ArisStagira This is not about "bringing culture", it's about coming here to strip mine the city.
English
@jknordlander @ArisStagira @QueensCrapper You’re basically saying that you want them to hold the same opinions as native New Yorkers. I don’t think the Puerto Ricans who came in 1950 had the same opinions as the Irish who came in 1880 or the Dutch in the 1600s. People always brought their culture here, even Ohio culture.
English
@ChrisRyanAction Yeah a lot of these fringe movements are just where otherwise unfuckable people go to hook up.
English
They wear them because they don't want to be publicly identified. Similar to the guys on bikes wearing balaclavas when it's 90 degrees out or the protesters that like to start shit.

DSA Co-Chair: We Want To Abolish The Senate
"We don't think that's extreme."
This is now part of the Democrat party 'Big Tent.'

DSA's Ashik Siddique: Our goal is "to replace capitalism with socialism." "That power is not conceded without struggle." This is the Democrat party 'Big Tent' we keep hearing about.
