My new novel, COLOSSUS, is a "challenging portrait of a thoroughly modern man.” You should get it.

@CitiBikeNYC @NYC_DOT @kaymsanto And obviously, the long-running problem of 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge not having a bike lane at all is pretty insane. Could be something for @ZohranKMamdani to get on eventually.

Good to see @CitiBikeNYC in Bay Ridge, but one real flaw to the program so far: too many bikes, too few docks. You'll bike up to a subway and find docks often filled. Nowhere to stick the bike. This will need to get rectified. @NYC_DOT @kaymsanto

Zohran Mamdani announces new leadership at the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. The chair will be his chief of staff, Elle Bisgsaard-Church.

This post by @RossBarkan on NY-7 is spot-on. rosselliotbarkan.com/p/the-most-int…

If you want to join the hot literati, you need to start hitting the gym and putting together an elite meal plan. Take some creatine, too. No excuses. Get to work.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ‼️ On the publication day of Jay McInerney’s 📚 See You on the Other Side 📚, the last of four novels that complete The Calloway Chronicles, we invite you to dinner at @ParcelleWine in New York where @jackaldane and Jay discuss. 🔗 youtu.be/trfh-z7ge7A?si…

I had a great chat with @JuanMaBenitez about my new novel, Colossus, as well as @the_met_review, my relationship with Zohran Mamdani, the rise of AI, and a host of other topics. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=kElpmu…

Viktor Orban's defeat may not mean much for the US, but it's a warning for Trump: people do eventually get sick of you, especially when you don't take the economy seriously. My latest, for @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The crowd goes wild for surprise guest Bernie Sanders. Zohran Mamdani was with Sanders at a union rally earlier in the day but wasn't advertised for this speech.

Zohran Mamdani says he'll open 5 city-run grocery stores by the end of his first term. The first will open next year. One will be in East Harlem.

I grieve with my laptop class, transplant Mets fan friends. We're all in this together. Be kind on the L and G and A/C trains tonight.

Hundreds here for Zohran Mamdani's 100 Day address on the border of Brooklyn and Queens. He's being introduced by a DOT employee touting the city's ability to fill potholes.

@SethBarronNYC You're neither a good writer nor good thinker. Like Dorian Gray if he never got the benefit of vanity.

@RossBarkan If I make fun of your bad writing, and your response is something as unimaginative as “you’re ugly,” then it kind of demonstrates my point

Zohran Mamdani is at Terminal 5 today for the Union Now rally hosted by Bernie Sanders. Last year, he held a large rally here before the primary with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@r_emmet It's great, and got a renovation not all that long ago

@RossBarkan Saw Mario Galaxy at the Alpine with my daughter yesterday. $11 for me and $8 for her. Also spent $8 on 2 pretty decent empanadas. The best theater in NYC.

Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Alphine Theater. Still under 10 bucks for a movie during the week.

@SethBarronNYC Your face reads like something that probably shouldn't be allowed out in public

@RossBarkan Your tweets read like ALT text written for the visually impaired

@BarneysRubble0 It means TikTok people

@RossBarkan That is weird. New just means not legacy? Or freelance? What is their definition?

The "Union Now" rally with Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani has a "new media" (influencers etc.) section up front and "traditional" media far in the back. Not a fan!

@jimfornyc @JCPolancoNYC @MichaelWTracey @GersonBorrero @NYMag @NYCMayor Are you ok???? You seem upset???? Jim. You're good???

@RossBarkan @JCPolancoNYC @MichaelWTracey @GersonBorrero @NYMag @NYCMayor What gets repetitive is your incessant fawning, Ross. Cover the negative too, huh? Isn’t that your actual job????

Regardless of his writing skill, I think journalistic integrity requires @NYMag to disclose that @RossBarkan and @NYCMayor have a special relationship. Shouldn't there be a footnote about it somewhere?
