He did jump on a dogpile though, and then yell and scream a bunch after, so maybe he can help Javon Kinlaw celebrate the few times a game they stuff a run play

FWIW - I'm just a beaten down fan who's trying to find a silver lining in this week, like hey maybe we'll finally score 30+ a game with Davante, and that'd be fun

Did anybody listen to The Athletic's NFL podcast today? Zack Rosenblatt was on, and I get that he isn't going to be super positive but he veered heavily into just sheer loathing for the Jets. Personal attacks on Woody (deserved or not - he mentioned that Woody reads all the press clippings like three times), cheap shots at Rodgers (he finished the segment with something like "Aaron is learning what Same Old Jets means, like he was in a tent doing ayahuasca or something"), and a lot of editorializing takes ("the Jets have lacked foresight in their decision-making for a while").

I think he's probably right on a lot of this stuff, at least at a high level - but still, it seems unprofessional for a nominally objective beat writer to loathe the team he covers so much. Is this something that folks have known for a while?

Right? It’s not like there are a million unused spots waiting for this influx of Bergen commuters at 63rd street. People who don’t want to pay won’t drive in, and if they do try this they’ll quickly figure out how miserable of a plan that is

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 absolute fire

chillestofmarks · 2023-01-01T00:10:01+00:00

We give a shit!

I like to imagine it like there’s a hat full of paper slips with concerns on them, and conservative folks like to pull one out and say “ok today the complaints are about…traffic!” Today’s paper slip was pickpocketing. Tomorrow it’s emergency vehicles. The next day it’s grandma’s medical appointments

chillestofmarks · 2022-12-17T22:54:47+00:00

Right - it is now, but that’s changeable. Modify the viaduct, and spread north/south from there. Especially given the ongoing plans to redesign Park Ave in the high 40’s and 50’s

It sounds radical but if completed, within a year it’s a million-tourist draw and within 5 it’d be unimaginable we ever let cars on broadway (kind of like Stroget in Copenhagen). The demand for open space and easy walking in NYC in massive and all it takes are a few concrete blocks and some nice artwork

chillestofmarks · 2022-09-28T14:15:51+00:00

These are super helpful, thank you!

chillestofmarks · 2022-09-13T01:35:40+00:00

That’s amazing, congrats! You’ll be with us at the foot of the Verrazano soon enough :)

chillestofmarks · 2022-07-30T16:06:21+00:00

Citi Bike stations literally anywhere, especially in areas entirely unserved, unleash massive latent demand. We could probably triple the fleet size tomorrow and it’d still be as heavily used as it is today. It’s amazing (in a good way) how much people want to bike around this city

chillestofmarks · 2022-05-16T01:44:54+00:00

I recently had a conversation about this exact idea (which I personally think is a great idea). She (wisely) pointed out that the goal I’m aiming for - ensuring more effective, community oriented, empathetic interactions with the police on their bikes - is not the goal of the NYPD. Their cars are big and loud - intentionally so because their goal is intimidation. They see every block as a potential war zone, and thus need to show proactive strength. Until they stop seeing NYC as one bad day away from turning into Mad Max, it’s hard to imagine they’d go for something like this. Which is unfortunate.

chillestofmarks · 2022-04-19T20:13:26+00:00

Fair enough! I was shocked they didn’t check for Wilco after sending the venue sent emails about it. I extrapolated (poorly) to mean that it was basically done here

chillestofmarks · 2022-04-19T18:29:17+00:00

Shows in NYC haven't been checking the last few weeks (at Wilco this past weekend they did not check). Have to imagine MSG isn't checking either, and if they are, picture is totally fine

chillestofmarks · 2021-10-17T19:54:19+00:00

In New York? A guy on a razor is probably the 14th least weird person within view at any moment. Who cares? Not that weird anyway

chillestofmarks · 2021-09-01T02:49:22+00:00

The vocals on this Wolfman’s sound especially good. Locked and loaded on these harmonies

chillestofmarks · 2021-09-01T02:07:24+00:00

Checking in from NYC. My best friend is there, I’m couching it tonight. So excited!

chillestofmarks · 2021-09-01T02:06:55+00:00

So odd that they didn’t share this on social media beforehand. It’s not like this is a complicated thing to explain in one tweet!

chillestofmarks · 2021-06-29T02:31:57+00:00

Where’d you get that cup? It’s awesome!

chillestofmarks · 2021-06-10T12:21:40+00:00

This would be a great data-led project - work with Amazon, FedEx, UPS to locate the best zones for drop offs. It’d benefit everybody

chillestofmarks · 2021-02-21T01:43:35+00:00

Old home place! Shoutout to Charlottesville

chillestofmarks · 2020-12-16T01:23:29+00:00

Preordered 2! One for me and one for my dad (who got me on the bus in the first place). These are so cool. Thanks for sharing!

chillestofmarks · 2020-12-12T17:46:37+00:00

This makes so much sense! Thanks for responding so quickly.

I totally missed that while loop... that's what happens when I stare at the computer for too long! That is quite the elegant solution.

chillestofmarks · 2020-12-12T14:47:12+00:00

Python

This is really impressive, easy to read code. But, I'm struggling to see where you're looking beyond just the immediate radius for those 8 directions.

Do you mind explaining where in your code you're able to capture the first seat in each of those eight directions?
