This is banking in Amsterdam (& it's unusual 2 even find an office, or someone you can speak to). The banks here have taken away all ATMs so you have 2 use their damn cards. There is a separate ATM company where you can take out cash, but not all retailers take it. photos.app.goo.gl/MtLfChVfLe2R...

"road damage like potholes is caused by vehicle weight (per axle) to the fourth power. This means that a Tesla Cybertruck causes roughly 2^4, or 16x, the damage of a Honda Accord, which weighs about half as much."

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

There is no more local TV news in NYC. Have you noticed?

Cary is absolutely right. WTH is going on?

"It's a world record." Line 14 of the #Paris Métro, a 27-kilometer automated route, is now running trains every 85 seconds, or 42 an hour. Each train can carry 1,200 passengers. It's expected to serve 1 *million* riders a day later this year. www.leparisien.fr/info-paris-i...

@bsky.app is a nice place to be but it doesn't compare to the old twitter. Where are @georgehahn.com, @brooklynspoke.bsky.social, @2avesag.as, @mariana057.bsky.social, @randyrainbow.bsky.social and so many others? They NEVER show up in my feed tho we are "connected." This site is useless.

Trump is turning global trade into a system of corporate peonage where companies compete to make deals with him to avoid paying crippling tariffs that would disrupt entire industries, all while manipulating the stock market to make himself and his inner circle of other billionaires even richer.

You know, maybe instead of capitulating to Trump the giant law firms could use offer pro bono representation to all the people getting disappeared by our government so we could defeat this madness as quickly as possible.

There are likely effective vaccines for major health concerns like Bird Flu, Lyme Disease, and even multiple forms of cancer - just to name a few - but we just lost funding for further study, our entire vaccine advisory group, most drug approval personnel at FDA, and HHS is overseen by antivaxxers…

Trump is just short selling with his #Tarrifs. Making a further fortune while the world suffers. #InsiderTrading @stephruhle.bsky.social

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

Charles is really starting to feel the heat for his coming election in 2028

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Good Morning to everyone who knows what Heard Island is! The convicted felonious idiot squatting in our WH put 10% tariffs on penguins! Want better? Vote better. FFS!

The USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy keeps lying about NYC and its subway system ... so I'll keep making videos about my commute that show he's wrong in calling it a "shithole."

We deserve a center-running bus lane on Flatbush! www.amny.com/news/brookly...

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.
