@StreetsblogNYC i had to stop going over that bridge on my bike, it’s so dangerous. so many delivery people dominate the bike lane and try to force you into the pedestrian lane.
Two people died in a head-on crash on the Queensboro Bridge bike lane between the rider of an illegal e-scooter with a top speed of 50 miles per hour and a cyclist, underscoring the need for enforcement against illegal, super-fast micromobility vehicles. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/28/two…
You just really wish that dems nominated some pro-business moderate named "Mark Gonzalez" at a time like this. Paxton would be the underdog if that were the case. Georgia and Arizona dems picked perfect candidates for their states with Warnock and Kelly, Tx dems are incompetent.
@grimshub He hasn’t taken over. Stan owns KSE which owns the club. Josh has said he is his father’s eyes and ears at the club. The turning point was when KSE bought out Usmanov. Once they owned 100% they invested year after year
Josh Kroenke is the type of owner every club needs and we are lucky to have him.
He's young and not just that he's a fan and for that he feels every banter, pain and endorphin every fan does which makes it a perfect balance for growth in the system.
His takeover from Stan Kroenke (his father) has been heavily felt by the whole club positively. He has a good relationship with the Coach, players, staff and is creating one with the fans.
This is something the great club has lacked for decades .
Well done Josh.❤️
“I had a great conversation with (former Arsenal defender and academy manager) Per Mertesacker after the final in Baku,” says Arsenal co-chair Josh Kroenke.
“I made a comment about Virgil van Dijk, who had arrived at Liverpool a year or two before. I said, ‘How do we get one of these guys into our system?’”
Mertesacker explained that unless Arsenal were prepared to pay £100million, they shouldn’t even think about the likes of Van Dijk. Undeterred, Kroenke asked the former German international who he considered the best young defender in Europe.
“He turned without hesitation and said, ‘William Saliba.’”
Within a matter of months, Saliba had signed for Arsenal. It would be three years before he made his Premier League debut, and Kroenke admits to fretting over whether the signing would get his opportunity.
“I was sitting over in America laughing, going, ‘Please let this kid work out!’,” he says.

@jubileemedia@ggreenwald In his first administration Trump “declared war” on Syria, killed a senior Iranian general and escalated the global war on terror in Yemen and the elsewhere. So right off the bat she’s wrong
In design, this will be remembered as the colorless era: cars, buildings, movies, the chroma is being sucked out of everything. But of course the pendulum will eventually swing back, and then colorlessness will seem dated.
As the school year comes to a close, a new analysis shines a harsh spotlight on what's being called a "learning recession" among American students. It's a problem that started long before the pandemic, according to the latest National Education Scorecard — an annual deep dive into data about kids in grades K-12.
The findings of this report are sobering. Children had a steady decline in math and reading scores beginning all the way back to 2013, which happens to be when smartphones and social media really took off.
Compared to a decade ago, math scores today are down in 70% of school districts. Reading scores are down in 83%.
Scores have climbed a bit since 2022, but nowhere close to making up all the lost ground. In fact, 8th grade reading scores are now at their lowest level since 1990.
@wmbrangham recently spoke with Thomas Kane, one of the authors of the scorecard and a professor at Harvard University.
I plan to spend the whole fucking summer being the most insufferable Gooner on the planet while Neville and the rest of the haters choke on sour grapes. #Arsenal
@jmart@Bencjacobs@politico Spoken like a truly clueless person. Palantir is all smoke and mirrors. She’s prob joining a big VC fund soon and thinks she’s there on the merits
Stefanik reminisced that she was “one of the earliest members to engage with Palantir” when it was still a small obscure firm. She marveled at emerging companies in defense tech as well as “the importance of VCs, private equity, FinTech and even the media landscape” as she talked about all the outreach and interest she had received in contemplating her...
@MatthewModine I’ve been thru basic and the arresting power of his voice rang out authentically. “WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION PRIVATE?” Oh and the “reach around” comment…. So damn real
On the set of FULL METAL JACKET with R. Lee Ermey in 1985. Since we shot the film in reverse (Vietnam in ’85 and Boot Camp in ’86), Lee was serving as technical advisor here. Actor Tim Colceri was originally cast to play Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. Fortunately for audiences (and unfortunately for Tim), Lee convinced Stanley that he was the real deal and replaced Colceri. Thankfully you can still see Tim as the helicopter door gunner in the “Get some” scene.

@SkySportsNews Rubbish nonsense. Arsenal beat Spurs 4-1 (twice). Scored 69 goals in the prem, second only to citeh. Not surprised Jimmy doesn’t care about defense given the woeful defenses on Chelsea when he played. Arsenal only lost 5 times in the league and conceded just 26 goals
