obviously Cuomo could be talking about what he’s doing to help the city on each of these challenges but he’s not pic.twitter.com/ltKgUU2UAm

almost like his goal is to weaken NYC government

lol, i mailed the carpet guy link to a friend who texted back "i have sat on him at a burning man-adjacent party on a boat in bushwick. LOLLLLL"

That carpet guy is one of the more unsettling things I've read lately. Not really the fetish angle, although I do live the "consent" detour in the comments, but moreso the concerns about how often that carpet is washed.

Cuomo just announced that the city is reopening movie theaters at 25% capacity in early March and i should be vaccinated around then so i figured I'd take a look at the IFC to see what I might go back and see and they're scheduling a run of... Shoah. Just what I was hoping for with my first return to cinema: nine hours of the holocaust.

.@googlemaps published its first pandemic-era Street View of #NYC. It's a great way to compare our new, much improved use of curb space.

Just got a chilling email from Spike W about how Smalls just dodged a serious bullet.

Yeah, I retweeted that. Shit was fucked up. I mean, of all venues to go after, Smalls?

Now they got this fsck jerry Seinfeld making safety announcements on the platform. Shut up you rich asshole

Remote Work Is Here to Stay. Manhattan May Never Be the Same.
New York City, long buoyed by the flow of commuters into its towering office buildings, faces a cataclysmic challenge, even when the pandemic ends.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/29/nyregion/remote-work-coronavirus-pandemic.html

THE NON-COMMUTERS
KILLED NYC

😱

Thank christ. Commuting is absolutely thankless. It's an hour each way including a long walk, working up a sweat, then standing up, sweaty, packed in with cranky people who haven't had caffeine yet. Let's never go back. One or two days a week max in the office (if any) and no meetings before 11am.

That article made me wonder why I've been limiting myself to applying for jobs in this part of the country. (I do still apply for jobs from time to time.) I feel like I should just pick a part of the country that I might conceivably want to live in, get a remote job there, and move at some indeterminate future date.

I agree. Goodbye and good riddance to the daily commute. I wonder how it will reshape Manhattan though, especially Midtown and the Financial District. Maybe it will be possible to find a good, reasonably priced restaurant for dinner in Midtown again.

No line at halal guys :)

The wiiiife and i have been seriously brown bagging it for the last year and let me tell you we do not intend to stop

open container laws are a fucking joke

what IS up with all the Fireball at counters all of a sudden? some new idea by their local sales managers, or did some mafiosos take possession of a truckload?

As much as I don't like midtown and FiDi, it's hard for me to imagine things not getting bad in those areas in the short to medium term, like I just don't see how you quickly repurpose that much office space, and I don't see how you get enough traffic into those areas to support businesses without the office space.

without that office space being occupied I mean, obv

This can of beer and a large paper coffee cup, please

The New York state legislature formally voted to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana for adults and expunge the records of people previously convicted of possession.

make it the new W33d District

New Hamsterdam

happy legal weed day

No more Pyramid Club.

First NYC bar I ever set foot in. It was that and Babyland down Avenue A the same night.

Places I thought were already .....

Yeah I probably should have dropped in there at some point in the past 20 years. See what happens.
