Eric Adams sold out this city to get the Trumps to fix his personal problem, simple as that.

An exciting Saturday in your 20s: “I was out all night at this party, I didn’t get home until super late, it was amazing.” An exciting Saturday in your 30s: “I got this new vacuum attachment that fits UNDER THE FRIDGE, and I have never been so pumped in my entire life!!!”

"I'm willing to find common ground with fascists so long as a small number of drivers aren't charged $9 to bring their cars into the densest, most transit-rich city in the country" is a terrible look for Democrats.

A friend pointed out a couple weeks ago that Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Trump were all born in 1946 and I keep thinking about how it feels like our political imaginations are being held hostage, with occasional outliers, by a very particular generational precept of the nation.

Just in: New Jersey’s request for a TRO has been denied. Congestion pricing goes live in 27 hours and 36 minutes.

No matter what happens with congestion pricing, my hope for 2025 is a single NYC politician fights as hard for a new live-saving protected bike lane as NJ politicians are fighting to stop a sub-$10 toll for driving into one of the most congested traffic areas in the world.

Yet another (5) reason(s) I’m glad to be going into 2025 as a New Yorker. Also I find it hilarious that paid prenatal care and lower-cost insulin are given equal weight as… making it easier to cancel your gym membership (although joking aside all five of these new laws are great for NYers!).

New year, new list! Wherever else 2025 may hold, I’m looking forward to all the new (and old) things I’ll read.

It’s December 31st, which means it’s time for me to share my annual master list of everything I’ve read, listened to, or saw this year. In accordance with my own personal end-of-year tradition, I've added annotations to all of the books, comic book, and audiobooks. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My apartment smells like FRY 24+ hours after pre-making the latkes for my family’s Hanukkah party. All of my usual anti-scent tricks have failed: 👎 Windows open while cooking 👎 Windows open after cooking 👎 Time (still smelled like fry when I woke up this morning) 👎 8+ hours of scented candles

The first to come to mind are: - The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K LeGuin - The Inkworld trilogy, by Cornelia Funke - Various Agatha Christie books - Harry Potter (I haven’t revisited them since waves arms and I feel like I lost a best friend) … and more that don’t fit into 300 characters

Tonight in self care success stories: I made Kung Pao mushrooms and tofu for dinner, followed up by a couple of Old Fashioneds, and not once did I put bitters in the stir fry or the virtually identical bottle of sesame oil in the whiskey. It’s been a week and I’m calling that a win.

I am going to say this once: based on what we know now, there’s no “one weird trick” that would have won the presidency. There just isn’t. This was a massive shift and massive shifts have many fathers.

The @nytguildtech.bsky.social is on strike! They’re asking that readers respect the picket by not engaging with NYT Games or Cooking while the strike lasts (although election coverage and news in general is NOT behind the picket).
