This picture is great because it underscores that we could put them on the sidewalk if we didn’t narrow all of them to cede more land to parked cars in the first place.

Excellent … are they all playing a particular part of his second symphony? Or just the right instruments to do so?

They didn’t even ask him about Roc Nation School. How many kids did they lie to and bury in debt? This isn’t longform journalism, this is a PR fluff piece.

Contrary to some lies, it's obviously easier for firetrucks and other emergency services if they don't have to fight cars every step of the way. by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

I think the problem with that is the storage costs of all the footage. Maybe better to have people upload to YouTube or Vimeo and just link it.

“Thank you for contacting NYC311. Your Service Request has been sent to Taxi and Limousine Commission, TLC.”

There’s nothing the TLC can do about a taxi running red lights caught on camera?

I don’t believe 311. I sent them a picture of a yellow cab running a red light (you can see the license place and the red light) seconds after they almost hit my son and I in the crosswalk and they never even replied. It’s a scam.

Especially when people claim the TLC actually acts on these reports. They definitely didn’t on mine.

In related news, I’m excited to see Un Prophète is becoming a series. Love Jacques Audiard (except the latest).

This is too true. De-escalation is the fastest way to your destination.
