in was 30, so I opened the window a few hours ago. Now the AQI is technically 54 (according to iqair.com), but the pm2.5 meter that I have right next to the open window reads 92..

What if we didn't burn the fucking planet down with cars and private jets and leaking methane ("natural" gas) wells and coal-fired electricity?

NY Gov Hochul delays controversial NYC congestion pricing plan ‘indefinitely’.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/05/business/ny-gov-hochul-delays-indefinitely-controversial-nyc-congestion-pricing-plan/index.html

I'm sure lots of revenue will be missed now that NYC congestion tolling has been killed, but was it earmarked for specific mass transit projects or was it just going to be used to hire more cops and whatnot?

Speaking of 🏙️, if you like inline skating around #NYC, or maybe zipping on any geometry of tiny wheels through any urban landscape, consider giving Masto.NYC's own @skatenyc a follow!

"Founded in 1997, the Empire Skate Club of New York is a non-profit organization of inline skaters dedicated to having fun and bringing the New York City inline skating community closer together.”

@jmac "TIny wheels"? Have you tried rolling on a set of 3×125 inline skates?

'Public restrooms in the city are hard to find and are often either out of order or require you to buy something at a store or café to be able to use. The problem is so bad that individuals have created their own resources for finding public restrooms.

A new Google Maps layer introduced by the city attempts to tackle this issue.'

@researchbuzz Having once changed my son's diaper HOLDING HIM OVER A GARBAGE CAN AT A NYC TARGET... That is a bit of an issue, for sure.

Visiting the museum of natural history makes me wish public parks had T-rex or Allosaurus, or some other similar dinosaur skeletons on permanent display so kids and just people in general can study them casually and frequently. I know it would be a maintenance nightmare, but it would be so cool.

@990000 Why, I was at Dinosaur Playground at Riverside Drive just yesterday! What more do you want!!

They're converting parts of the Hoboken Terminal station into a sort of "Chelsea Market"-style bazaar and… HOLY SHIT… this beautiful space has been sitting empty for decades.

I'm excited for it, but I'm also ANGRY that this is just sitting these collecting mold.

If you were not at https://hahahanyc.com tonight then you missed watching me take a shower onstage in front of 200 people. #NYC #theatre

@auran recommended this show and instructed me to go in blind, so I did. Amy, who accompanied, chose to read a review.

I was curious why the ticket-site seat-picker showed the front row sold out, but then people seemed to choose seats as far from the stage as possible, while avoiding the center aisle. How odd! I happily bought two tickets for fourth row, center. Amy, knowing what this portended, said nothing.

Even though I'm not really sure what just happened, I'll never forget it.

as @IveyJanette reminds us, wants to hold a fundraiser rally at Madison Square Garden; so here's A NIGH AT THE GARDEN, a short documentary made entirely with archival footage from the night held a rally at in 1939.

https://vimeo.com/237489146

you will notice then, just like today, cops protecting the Nazis from protesters; including ISADORE GREENBAUM, a courageous Jewish man who stormed the stage in protest.

For Trump's false records charges, prison is rare but not unprecedented

"If the jury deliberating in Donald Trump's criminal trial makes the historic decision to convict him, the judge overseeing the case will face a monumental choice: whether to sentence the 2024 Republican presidential candidate to time behind bars."

If the governor is committed to keeping (&funding) the National Guard in the subways because she thinks it "makes people feel better," maybe someone could tell her how great funding our libraries would make us feel. More bang for the buck in weekend library hours, if you ask me.

Is 's budget purely vibes based?

@rejinl (Is our entire government purely vibes-based at this point?)
