Overhead lighting should never be used except for anti-personnel purposes like flushing people out of bars and oppressing white collar workers, a less lethal alternative to tear gas

Happy 420 Day. As always, we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of when Gail & Dale sang "One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk. Neither knew what the song was about. Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

“Autistic people love trains.” Ok? Trains can transport 40,000 people per hour. They are objectively superior. What else do they love, eating dinner?

@Dog_Fish_Chris @BET And said it a little too zesty, just sayin

@BET Mans said “a name barely people know”

Asked and answered. N.O.R.E. gets real about which Drink Champs interviews he hates the most. 👀 It doesn't stop there. For more unfiltered moments head to BET's YouTube and watch the latest episode of #TheJasonLeeShow now!

@gilga_meshhh @GaryHPhillips As was disco demolition night and hot pants night and 10 cent beer night but the Yankees never did any of that. To stand firm to tradition through all of that and then turn your ballpark into any generic goofy stadium experience is dumb.

@pgunnNYC @GaryHPhillips To be fair those 70’s uniforms were awesome.

#Yankees fans have had enough: they want the “incessant, annoying, droning” sounds that get pumped into Yankee Stadium to stop. The org, however, says the noise is "by design," and players want it to be louder *on the field.* “If I was a fan, I wouldn’t like it, too," Aaron Judge said. "But as players, we’re all sitting here and still can’t hear the music.” Story @NYDNSports: nydailynews.com/2026/04/17/yan…

@piperocktheory No company is ever making non-smart devices again bc they only get your money once. No subscription fees or ad revenue to take in and no user data to sell.

said this a million times but Apple are idiots for not doing a 25th anniversary iPod this year clickwheel, multiple colors, Apple Music, Bluetooth and AirPods support, a good DAC and storage up to 2 TB just to appease the audiophiles — boom, you have the product of Christmas 26

For those curious, there's only 4 theaters worldwide with the capabilities to project actual Vista Vision - Vista Theater (Los Angeles) - Regal Union Square 17 (New York City) - Coolidge Corner Theatre (Brookline, Massachusetts) - Odeon Luxe Leicester Square (London)

@HugeJintao @Empty_America Lowers cholesterol too.

@Empty_America I feel like half of American dietary problems could be solved if we learned to make beans taste good like other cultures do. Cheap, shelf stable fiber and protein taken care of.

The Hispanic life expectancy "paradox" isn't really much of a paradox, it's all quite obvious. Being working class doesn't actually compel you to live on hostess cakes, that is just end stage cultural degeneration.

1) The use of the “juicy” here is the one of the all time shockers in Hayes code Hollywood 2) Mitchum is so good at laying an accent on top of his natural way of speaking, you really notice it here & also in Friends of Eddie Coyle, it never sounds forced

The funniest thing about the early 80’s hardcore moment being a commercial dead end was the only bands that didn’t break up or go metal by ‘85 or so were made up of petty criminal drug addicts like The Freeze, Battalion of Saints, and Poison Idea.

Friday School Movie Day at Carib theater was bomb as a child to watch a Bigga & Trinity movie or some Chinese Kickers. These movies with Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill was where two of Jamaica’s most Infamous Killer Cops got their Moniker #CornwallBiggaFord & #KeithTrinityGardner

Looking exactly like this bus boy/weed dealer from Red Bank, NJ I used to work with in 2008

@jonathanbfine @stanlei1 Rumor was always it was supposed to look scary to prevent jumpers. When I was there it seemed like there was a rumor of a suicide every month or so…

@stanlei1 the floor used to look much scarier

In my first semester at NYU, I took a course for which I had to read all of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time in a little over three months, so I spent a lot of time in Bobst and was in the library for the two suicides that eventually led to the installation of this screen.

In the 1980's, Canadian broadcaster Global found a loophole in Canadian broadcasting legislation. Instead of broadcasting test patterns on screen and losing out on overnight revenue, they could send a cameraman into the city to walk around and film the streets of Toronto. Global producers decided to create their own original music to accompany the show instead of losing out on licensing fees. Because the show was entirely "Canadian Content", this allowed Global to leave key primetime slots open to broadcast American content. The show was called Night Walk. Although Night Walk was created to exploit a loophole, the footage that was left behind now looks like a time capsule.

In the attention based economy, it’s worth having the world think you’re dumb as dogsh*t as long as you get them to click and reply

@NYMag every food court in flushing is consistently busy, not sure why this one is highlighted specifically…

On a Sunday afternoon in March, a stream of young people and families flowed continuously through the second-floor food court at Tangram, Flushing’s largest shopping mall. Nearly everyone milling about carried a container of something delicious: One woman and her son picked at bánh mì fries piled with spicy mayo and other toppings. Another woman gnawed on a candied-fruit kebab as her two children trailed behind scooping soft serve out of paper cups. In the three years since its opening, Tangram’s night-market-style food hall has become a destination for Queens residents, food-loving travelers who want to sample some of the city’s most Instagram-friendly dishes, and highly discerning teens seeking out specials they saw on social media. “It has a more modern cuisine, and it caters more to a Gen-Z Asian American crowd,” said one college-age diner during a recent weekend. Another customer said part of the appeal is that it’s just a nice place to hang. “In Manhattan, there are not a lot of places that are central hubs where families and kids can come together,” he said. “This feels like a community space, whereas places in Manhattan feel pay-to-play.” Aaron Short explores how Tangram has made its food court a destination for neighbors and international travelers alike: nymag.visitlink.me/GqH7Mu
