Saw a sign in my neighborhood ( ) advertising a party where the entry requirements were “dress to impress”, and I realized that in 2023 I don’t have the faintest idea what that means. Guess I’m not invited.

Must-read article from about a New Yorker (who happens to be a attorney) and her dog, who both got busted by the early in the pandemic for her (the attorney) daring to exercise her legal rights by filming the cops' activities on a street.

Harassment and intimidation accomplished, of course charges were dropped.

I got excited thinking that this would be a nice N-S and E-W network of protected bike lanes in a place that didn't have any before, but then I saw that the E-W route was a "conventional bike lane".

It's 2023, drivers park on every available surface in , and we're installing brand new paint-only bike lanes while we also have a legal mandate to install . Such 💩.

Me, to my wife: I don’t mean to alarm you, but on my way back from the laundromat I saw four twentysomething white people with multicolored hair carrying a couch down the sidewalk.

My wife: They’re coming.
