In the time since the #Ticketmaster queue stopped updating, I built a Chrome Extension to show you your actual place in line instead of the dreaded "2000+".

We tried protesting like the French in 2020 but they called us savages for tearing up a cvs. Then jan 6 happened and pardons were given for actual treason. Point blank period is that until white people start tearing up shit nothing will change lmao.

If this isn't your goal every time you step into an airport, we can't be friends.
The TSA agent lady said “now THAT’S how you do precheck!” when I went though so therefore I’m the best traveler at the airport today, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

This is true and also, I can't think of a time I'm *less* inclined to take public transit than when I'm carrying one or more large bags, in the middle of people just trying to get to work.
Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

Beyond seated. Always my favorite book as a kid 💖

I could tell who the asshole in this story was by the fact they *drove* "all the way" to Brooklyn. Two red flags right off the bat!
Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out 👎

This is the second year running I don't feel terribly compelled by the new iPhones. The new camera is, as always, cool, but otherwise I think they peaked at the titanium Pro/Max iPhone 16.

New York rewards those who still know how to look up
Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope is still incredibly cool: a vibrant zoetrope in the old Myrtle Ave station. See it from the right side of a Manhattan-bound B/Q leaving DeKalb. A fun side effect of modernizing the DeKalb Interlocking will be seeing it at full speed, as god intended.
