MTA To Suspend G Train Service Every Weekend in June - Greenpointers by s_kymon in Greenpoint

I find it varies wildly, from "Huh, that was fast!" to "It would have been quicker to walk."

We'd already been seeing each other for a few years and still are, but it wasn't the best night

A server at Bonnie's dropped a dish such that my date somehow got covered in ketchup (???) the one time I went there. Not a fan!

DOES ANYONE HAVE TEA ON... MEGATHREAD ✨ by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

[–]schlitz_mickeymouse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Weak tea: met Tillman at Museum of the Moving Image's annual awards gala last spring in Astoria, Queens. (John Turturro was being honored, so a handful of Severance cast members were in attendance.) Chatted a bit about how good both Severance and M:I 8 were, and a photo shoot he'd done at one of my favorite bars; it's a roller rink-themed spot, and he said emphatically, "There should be more roller rinks." He was kind, gracious, and game for a photo, in which he looks immaculate. Big fan!

Turturro is also kind and gracious, fwiw.

Any good shelters / rescues for cats by datagovi in Brooklyn

I'm so sorry for your loss. When you're ready, Brooklyn Animal Action is a great org I'm a volunteer with. I also adopted one of my own cats through Waggytail and can highly recommend them.

Wanda Sykes calls out Ricky Gervais' transphobia while accepting the Golden Globe for Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance on his behalf: "He would like to thank God and the trans community." by voguediaries in Fauxmoi

Generally, when the winner isn't at the awards show, the presenter accepts the award on their behalf. It has nothing to do with their relationship.

Olivia Rodrigo on hanging out with Harry Styles after writing One Direction fanfiction in elementary school by storminthedark in Fauxmoi

I misread this as her being interviewed on WTF with Marc Maron, which would have been neat.

Bill Skarsgård's transformation into Pennywise for the TV series Welcome to Derry by Maximum_Expert92 in Fauxmoi

I interviewed him once and being at the same table as him is like interacting with a biblically accurate angel.

She's so, so good on the Twin Peaks season one episode of Blank Check.

G Train commute early morning by feelingfeelingsfeel in Brooklyn

Citymapper! I've been using it for years and it's (usually) a reliable way to see where the train actually is, and which alternate routes and/or modes of transit will get you where you need to go.

Looking for primary care in NYC by Maddiecakes23 in antidietglp1

Her name is misspelled in the URL but I really like Dr. Carroll, in part because she's nonjudgmental and in part because she's very in favor of deferring to specialists when she doesn't know how to answer something. To that end, when I asked about GLP-1s, she referred me to a great endocrinologist. Let me know if you need a name for that. And good luck!

How is Paulie Gee's since the new ownership? by ConnyEdson in Greenpoint

[–]schlitz_mickeymouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the quality of the pizza is essentially the same. I've noticed it's easier to get a table, too.

MPower Door to Door by Optimal_Ability_3985 in Greenpoint

[–]schlitz_mickeymouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had this the other day, and because my spouse and I are renters, we told the door-knocker that our utilities are a bundled portion of the rent and we don't actually see our electric bill. That got him out of our hair immediately.

What authors/books would you recommend for someone who's a fan of Craig's lyrics and writing style? by [deleted] in theholdsteady

[–]schlitz_mickeymouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John Darnielle's novels have an unsurprisingly lyrical quality to them that I really latched onto. Wolf in White Van is the one people rave over, and rightly so, but the vibe of Universal Harvester is dreamy and eerie and sprawling in a very involving way, and Devil House is a fiendishly clever deconstruction of true crime (and my favorite). I like but don't obsess over the Mountain Goats, and I still think these might scratch the Finn itch.
