Without massive changes, I just can't wrap my head around how this city survives in any way that's not just a transient playground for wealthy young adults

There are plenty of ways to cut down unwanted noise on Bluesky. Sounds more like a skills issue.

100% anything that gets human drivers off the road is a step in the right direction, though preferably it would be mass transit and bikes, but a boy can dream

‘94 was when my parents let my teenage self come alone to the city for hangs, raves, concerts but beforehand they came in with me to make sure I’d be safe and they were blown away by the turnaround that had taken place over the previous decade. Since then they come in all the time now to enjoy it.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Is the goal of showing some of the shirt cuff to create visual interest around the wrist? I've never really understood the point of exposing the cuff and always thought that it looked sloppy like the jacket had shrunk in the wash.

Thank you and not bad prices!

Ooh! Looks like I was too late to the artist presale. How much are tickets going for?

Been in this industry and have friends that have places and it’s a bit of a vibes thing too.. the laptop crowd tends to dominate and kill the mood for people that want a fun happy hour so it’s hard to get great sustaining traffic

"But if something that used to be a normal childhood activity is now seen as so dangerous that parents who let their sons walk in the neighborhood are considered felons, the problem is not just with how we enforce our laws but also with how we allow cars to define how we live."

The crazy thing is that on weekends basically 95% of trains to Penn run on the first half of the hour so you can always easily be stuck waiting over 40 min.
