I hope Amtrak doesn’t kill his spirit :(

OP, if you get bored, I’d love to see another line showing overall ridership during the same period, but this is already great as it is so no pressure

Not in the same quantities though. You’re right that the makeup of Jewish people worldwide is changing, but broadly speaking, due to endogamy, our DNA results are still going to look different than the overall population, even in a hypothetical case like Santos where he is claiming to have two Jewish grandparents.

The answer is yes for some aspects and no for others. It’s a complicated topic. You have gotten good answers so far

I agree. Buried somewhere deep in this article is a story about inequality, cost of housing in NYC, lifestyle creep, etc, but the writer makes the choice to focus it on the emotional toll of a very specific set of elite women. Their story is valid and an interesting but the tone of this article, in my opinion, presumptuously assumes that there is something universal about their experience and I say that as someone who is sort of connected to the Fleishman world.

There was probably something universally relatable about Libby and Rachel, but they were fictional characters, designed to be so. These people, not so much.

NYC has successfully figured out how to push the buck on staffing adequate numbers of school psychologists AND providing an invaluable service at the same time. Honestly I’m impressed….

If Matt Gaetz gets to keep his job, EVERYONE gets to keep their jobs

I don’t think so. He ran for the same seat in 2020 and actually adjusted his campaign strategy after losing. It does look like he was interested in winning imo

Lmao I was gonna say it’s like Santacon for people who like NPR

Imagine the public outcry if a single person injured 22 people on a subway

Is Marxist Socialist Media in the room with us right now?

The word blight is a bit strong, but I do think the blocks surrounding Penn Station are ripe for redevelopment (not including Koreatown) and that's before taking homelessness into consideration. At the street level it's a weird mix of scaffolding, rip off touristy bullshit, and what seem like outdated retail businesses leftover from a pre-9/11 world.

It's an odd look for midtown and most people's first impression of the city. I'm not normally on the side of Big Real Estate, but if abusing the definition of "blight" is what it takes to get development happening in this city, then maybe it's necessary.

I used to work at a tennis court and most of the people who played there were old as hell. I bet they’d kick these pickleball punks asses at pickleball on their home turf

I never understood pickleball. I’ve talked to some people about it and while I do see the appeal, it just sounds like tennis without the learning curve

Only people who don’t know how to play tennis run when they play tennis

After reading this article and another NYTimes article about this a few weeks ago I do think it sounds like this guy is engaging in some kind of litigation lotto in order to gain a foothold in the market, but good faith or not, the case raises a legitimate question about our cannabis licensing. If the intended goal of New York State’s licensing program is a restorative justice measure for individuals and families impacted by the war on drugs, why limit the scope to just NY? What purpose does that serve?

I say this every time this topic comes up but as someone who actually still naively believes in restorative justice, you can’t rely on capitalism to provide it.

Where did you buy yours? I have looked in every retailer since OMNY launched and I’ve never seen them sold

Like many old buildings in NYC, they get even hotter in the winter than in the summer. When I was a student at BC, I’d arrive early to class so I could get a seat by the window because if I didn’t I’d be sweating through my clothes

Can’t forget Lehman College. I didn’t go there, but that place is gorgeous.

Cuomo is right about this in the way former mobsters are able to provide testimony on the inner workings of other organized crime groups. He’s a part of the problem so he can recognize the problem. Let’s not applaud this predator for spelling out the obvious

As late as 2018 Cuomo was not yet thought of as the COMPLETE abomination we now see him as… He was the governor who helped to push through marriage equality, he was our first multi-term democratic governor since Mario Cuomo, but above all he talked tough to Trump, the NRA, and De Blasio all at the same time. It’s easy to forget that for a good chunk of his tenure as governor people referred to themselves as “Cuomosexuals.”

Personally I always found him to be a slimeball, albeit a slimeball who was very adept at politics until he wasn’t.

If I can hear Howie Rose clearly then it doesn’t hit right

…but what FM station is WFAN on?

This is my frustration with the NYPD. They want the public’s respect and claim that we have no way of understanding the reality of being a cop on these streets. I’m sure to a certain extent that is true.

But there is nothing about a cop’s day to day that makes a tolerance for domestic terrorism acceptable. This is not a bad apple issue. This is the definition of institutional rot.
