is New York City dead?

cosign!! go off DC!

in general fuck cars

lol SAY IT DOCTOR.

There's literally a whole ig account of just cop cars parked in bike lanes, that's how stupid it all is.

this is a city in which only 45% of households own cars

this is startlingly high tbh!

Ta!

It's not that striking when you see how many areas have poor or no subway access.

Also when you look at the difficulty of commutes that are not __ to central parts of manhattan (brooklyn-queens, queens-bronx, etc.)

I meant startling to a person who has visited the city four or five times :)

fun fact: car ownership is higher in san francisco than it is in los angeles.

NYC Health advice discourages casual sex during COVID, but also says if you’re going to have it: “Be creative with sexual positions and physical barriers, like walls, that allow sexual contact while preventing close face to face contact.” https://t.co/3GG3C2dzTm

"NYC Dept of Health Recommends Glory Holes" not on my 2020 apocalypse bingo card but don't hate the player

yes!! the word rimming was in there!

one of the things i've learned from All Gas No Breaks (via the Talladega episode) is that everyone under the age of 40 eats ass and likes to talk about it.

millennials can eat a little ass as a treat

.@NYCMayor says his critics, including former allies like @JumaaneWilliams and @DRichards13, don't "really understand the reality of New York City."

DeBlasio of course grew up in Cambridge MA, assume that is well-known

As I understand it, this is a free country. A man can live where he wants.

and yet, poor de blasio remains trapped here, in a city which he holds in complete contempt :(

This is literally an argument for abolition. https://t.co/2GEqgniRoV

for fuck's sake man, just get tested! you see more people than anyone!

it doesn't make sense. it takes 5 seconds.

what's up with the fireworks

there are Theories, and i wouldn't even be surprised if they were correct

i am accustomed to my neighbors shooting off fireworks at unforeseen times but rarely for a straight week

and their fireworks usually make a few cool sounds. most of these are just really obnoxious boomings

my response to it (as with most things) is to crank the a/c

what are the Theories??
