I live in "sub-tropical" NYC. My house's heat pumps are rated to heat in temperatures as low as 5F. We went with those models because it rarely gets below 20F here.
On Wednesday, the low is gonna be 4F. 😬

I'm so tired of people blaming each other.
Look, if it wasn't Trump, it would've been someone else. Both Ds and Rs have been aggressively building towards a police state since 9/11. The Federalist Society has rigged our courts, and SCOTUS has done exactly what they intended. Government in the '70s under Reagan started reducing taxes on the obscenely wealthy, who turned around and gutted/purchased media, who convinced people to vote for lower taxes...
We were facin…

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This appears to be a scene from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," which aired from 1978-1981.

The setting features the show's characteristic futuristic interior design with curved walls and distinctive lighting.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image shows a scene from what appears to be a science fiction television production, likely from the British series "Blake's 7." The actor Jacqueline Pearce is dressed in an elaborate white costume featuring a distinctive wide-brimmed white hat and a high, sculptural collar embellished with what appears to be silver beading or sequins. The costume has a regal, futuristic quality that suggests a character of authority or high status.

Today two separate people asked me about (ortlieb) panniers. One in TJs on the escalator, the other outside at the falafel truck. I've been asked so many times by strangers about my various cargo bikes, but can honestly say I've never been asked about my panniers in at least a decade. To be fair, they're pretty new and in both cases they were extremely full!

I'm working with household legislators to enact a Dad Congestion Pricing scheme. We charge a kid $0.25 for every "hey dad?". A white paper produced by the Dept of Annoyance shows that a modest fee structure could bring the rate of "hey dad?"s down to a rate of around one or two per minute, while not being so burdensome as to hinder kids from saying things like "hey dad? the microwave is on fire."

I like when the #NYPost says the quiet part out loud. See, ending illegal labor practices and paying workers a living wage is "anti-capitalist." Being in favor of #capitalism means being happy crushing your workers and driving them into poverty.
If only they said that more…

Continuing his anti-capitalist message, Mamdani tweeted: “making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers.

I regret to inform you all that I went back in time intending to only fix one little thing, but I couldn't help myself and I messed with some other things too. Now I've changed the present to be all wrong; not only do you have to deal with that Berenstain Bears nonsense, but you also now have to deal with Trump and Mamdani being besties. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm really not - it was totally worth it*.

A tabby cat lying on her back in the crack of a gray couch. Her hind legs are pressed against the back of the couch, and her head is at the front of the couch. Her white belly is pointed up in the air, and her front paw is extended as if she's supercat flying through the air.
Same pic of the same tabby cat in the couch crack, just from a slightly different angle. Now the cat is looking at the camera, and her front paw isn't extended as far out.
Same tabby cat on the same gray couch, this time she's near the end of the couch and sitting on her tummy. Her front paws are facing forward, but her head is turned to the side looking at the camera. She looks as if the person behind the camera just said something mean about her mother.

me: *low whistles*
me: "Damn, check out THOSE bollards!"
8yo: "What?"
me: "These metal things. they're nice, aren't they? No drivers parking on this sidewalk!"
8yo: *lays down on one*
8yo: "Yeah, they're good, I guess."
#SafeStreets

A manhattan street corner at night. It's fairly dark (what's up w/ the lack of lights??), but along the border of the sidewalk are some metal bollards that are rectangles on one side, and 5 sides on the other (one sloped side that you can lean on) on the other. They're spaced about 3ft apart, and they're probably 15" wide. One bollard basically divides the sidewalk in half.
Another angle of the bollards, this time taken FROM the street corner towards the end of the block. The bollards extend the entire length of the block, at least 30 metal bollards visible but you can't really see how many more go down due to distance and people walking on the sidewalk. The vertical side of the bollards face out towards the street, and then 45deg angled side faces towards the building.
Another shot taken from the street corner, this time facing the street and crosswalk. One bollard sits in the middle of the curb ramp top landing, which is absolutely an ADA violation. The ramp tactile mat also faces out towards the middle of the intersection rather than facing the crosswalks, but again - fuck disabled people, amirite?

But at least the bollards are nice!
