Everybody should pay a visit to a battery house at some point in their lives, without it being dressed up by the farmer ahead of time to not look how it normally does.

But we can't, because their industry literally lobbies to get laws passed that makes investigating them illegal. They have nothing to hide, and no you can't see it.

NY state on Bloomberg's big soda ban: I sleep

NY state on NYC banning cruelty-sourced food: NO, it's illegal to stop the duck tube force-feeding.

A blanket ban on all inhumane animal treatment sounds great to me, let's do it.

Get on the Y'aaaaarrr train

Nobody could have ever predicted this... /s

See my reply to the other comment for an old article about it.

The Newday article about his death actually made mention of his community-minded street changes in the last few paragraphs: https://www.newsday.com/long-island/michael-ameri-nypd-inspector-found-dead-on-li-cops-say-q90719

You'll find a bunch more articles if you google his name, he had been a degree or two away from a corruption probe several months prior so that's always mentioned as a possible factor, though he himself was not a subject of any investigation. It was all fishy as fuck.

I remember when Michael Ameri was captain of the 78th precinct and was the one cop in the city who cared about cyclists enough to chew out his reports for parking in that little protected lane behind the Doughnut Plant building, and would always make sure that it was shoveled of snow in the winter.

A few years later he was found in his car on Long Island, dead of an "apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head". Something something the only good cop...

Anyone else remember that?

Because where do you think the money that's not spent on maintenance and cleaning goes.

This is like when you're unpacking a box and you're only halfway done when your cat decides it's the perfect place for her to sit. And your cat is a big red pickup truck.

The solution is to formalize accommodations for motorized micro-mobility. Scooters and ebikes and mopeds exist, and they are very well-adapted for city travel, so we need to give them designated street space if mixing them with other traffic is dangerous.

Holy crap. I regret moving away before this happened. This was always in like my top three highest priority bike infra improvements for the whole city. Congratulations, it's been a long time coming!

Though I would give it about two weeks before 50% of those outside bollards are gone.

Clearly some sort of psychotic episode. I wish these didn't end up on a widely-viewed news sites in uncut full HD. Any of us could end up like this in the wrong circumstance.

Well, I'm not sure if it technically is. That's why it's secret. I'm sure that all militant industrial nations run covert foreign gestapo like this. Ours is called the CIA and they definitely 100% run organized operations in China.

They are the danger.
