@atlanticesque I would encourage you to look at the NY stories being sold to the rest of America in 1990.

Main takeaway from a few days in NYC is the old black and Ellis islander identity that defined the culture and front facing image of the city has been totally replaced by modern globalhomo poc left thing. Sinatra at the end of a Yankee game is a relic of the past.

@theemptycrowd @uf__001 @yesCashPlay I mean there are South Americans cooking all types of shit under the Myrtle Wycoff L train but I don’t think the “creative class” is lining up for cooler stored tamales yet.

@roctakon @uf__001 @yesCashPlay Thanks to the internet, I was under the impression that there were South American refugees selling grilled guinea pigs outside Trump Tower.

@JohnnyBoi4lyfe I picked it because it still exists, charming reminder of a different time

@roctakon Im going tn they will still play it if yanks win
So many other things to pick that dont exist anymore

@blockkboyy615 @theemptycrowd Destination thing unless you live there, not ubiquitous like LA east of Western
English
@roctakon @theemptycrowd Yeah Queens has the best street food in the county imo, but I feel like I feel like it's mostly only a Queens thing in NYC lol

@sever53590 I mean, you don’t have to like it but postwar the ethnics shaped the front facing brand.

@uf__001 @yesCashPlay @theemptycrowd Guy who asked this is from LA, which has a much stronger street food culture. Shitty midtown food truck turned empire doesn’t mean NY has a comparable street food scene.
English
@yesCashPlay @roctakon @theemptycrowd The only street food that’s had an international expansion is Halal Guys, which began on 53rd and 6th about 15 years ago. Which means if this guy thinks it’s “outer borough” this guy hasn’t lived in NY for nearly two decades.

@carbonite1994 @CrimeSkateCo Really good 3flip nose slides are rare, and incredible looking. So so much better looking than all the 3 flip crooks that came in the 2010s.

@theemptycrowd Street food is pretty outer borough if at all. Not much of a thing here.

Somehow this is even worse than all the corrupt greaseball Ellis islanders that ran NY for the previous 100 years.

New Yorkers shouldn’t have to dodge 🐶 💩 on their own block. The Council has introduced the SCOOP Act to expand resources to keep our neighborhoods 🐶 💩 free. But we can’t do this alone. Join the new NYC Scoop Patrol, where you can post yourself helping clean your community and tag @nycscooppatrol.

@willystaley Ah yes spend millions on union jobs etc instead of doing something.

I have a much simpler, and probably more cost-effective, idea for solving this problem. It’s based loosely on the premise of the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film, Judge Dredd.

“All the porn sites are controlled by governments and intel agencies… everything you watch is being stored and will be used against you if necessary.” - Tucker Carlson He dropped this on Bryce Crawford’s podcast, warning that our most private online habits are being tracked and could be weaponized later. He even mentioned the camera on your phone. Tucker’s blunt message: “Wise it up, boys.” Whether you fully agree or not, it’s a stark reminder that handing over our most intimate data in exchange for instant gratification comes with real risks many people ignore. I’ve always found it wild how casually we accept this trade-off. What do you think — do you believe major porn sites are being used for surveillance, or is this going too far?

@AuronMacintyre @L0m3z He was doing ok and then immigration/workforce comes up and he just gets annihilated by Lomez

Almost spit out coffee when I saw this
I knew that’s how out of touch and selfish these people are but watching him just lay it out with no self awareness was something else

If only the Dark Knight had a discernible plot like Heat.
Auteur House@auteurhouse
Christopher Nolan has long cited Michael Mann's 1995 crime epic Heat as an inspiration for The Dark Knight (2008). Here is how Heat inspired The Dark Knight. #filmtwt

@WestsideLAGuy @FWPlayboy It’s not but you can live alone for 1k and there are more attractive people than many metros twice the size. Life is easy, not that many people trying to “make it” folks are just living,

@FWPlayboy Can someone explain why Austin is so much better than say LA?
English
If you're single young Man and want to devote a few years to hedonism move to Austin.
An average Man with some Game can fuck himself to death there.
Jen Robichaux@JenRobichaux
The Statesman reports that Austin's median monthly mortgage payment is $3,323, while median rent is $1,531. statesman.com/business/real-…
