Gentrification. But really, a lot of prewar buildings are in neighborhoods where people who have lived in NYC a long time live, and are currently being displaced from. This looks like it could be the Upper West Side in Manahttan, Park Slope in Brooklyn, or Flushing in Queens (to name a few)
There's no stack of dried out over salted pretzels. Also if you don't want a hot dog order a knish from one of these things.
Staten Island is the forgotten boro. You can get there by bus from Brooklyn but outside of that the only mass transit that goes there regularly is the Staten Island Ferr - and yes they are that shade of orange. Also it takes way more than an hour to get there who are you kidding Gwen?
I can see my house from here... (Not really but it is just off screen to the right. The place I used to live, however, is absolutely visible in this art)
Crew 2: Objectively correct But no platform is that empty or clean. Chances are this is the Lexington Avenue line (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 trains in NYC are different sizes than the letter trains and the 7) and I'm calling this the Lexington line since it's green.
That's the wrong coffee cup. If your coffee doesn't come in the blue and white cup it's probably too fresh and cost too much money.
Okay as a lifelong New Yorker here are my incredibly minor and niche quibbles with the creative treatments in the Spider-Man set.
Sausage, bacon, turkey bacon, ham, on a low carb wrap.
Such a fun thread! Lets add a new card to the mix
There's perfectly good food in the dumpster for our Bug Queen
Lightly toasted, scoop it out, toast it again, butter on one half, cream cheese on the other, single slice of red onion and beef bacon.
The pink frosted doughnut that's been there at least three weeks.
Bacon egg cheese salt pepper ketchup on a roll.
LOLOLOL pathological liar
The absence of Mirage here is a shame (yes I'm falling for it) in part because Mirage set the stage for block structure right and the world building was On Point.
Nissa: whole wheat bagel with tofu spread, avocado, and hot sauce Chandra: Toasted (extremely well done) plain bagel with dill creamcheese and a slice of tomato
Pumpernickel Bagel Creamcheese Jelly
Lily would have killed it with previews this time around.
Will: Cinnamon raisin bagel with regular creamcheese Rowan: Salt bagel with cheddar/jalapeno creamcheese
One must never forget that Domri Rade is a child. Rainbow bagel with strawberry creamcheese
I feel this.
Vraska orders coffee first. And then another coffee. Eggs over easy with jack cheese on a roll.
Guff gets his order wrong and instead of yelling at the people making it just travels back in time to do it again, never quite getting it right.
It's time for bagel discourse. Give me a Planeswalker and I'll give you their bagel order.
Supportive Parents are uncommon, but shouldn't be. Love your children for who they are. Help them become the best them that they can be.
There are three of us here so that means at least 12 opinions
Seasoned Jew - does that mean pastrami spice or Knorr?
My bigger issue is that it's not one word. And at least it's not "Egg cheese bacon on an English Muffin"

Jovan’s support staff in my Muraganda Social Worker deck. Vanilla creatures need all the help they can get.
It's Tuesday - what two creatures are you fetching off of Defense of the Heart? Here's what I'm getting. I just want to draw cards!
A surefire way to get me to avoid your pizza joint is if this sentient scrotum's picture is in the window.
The boys are back in town (The town no longer exists)
I run it in Raggadragga. I don't think it's ever popped, if it did, likely these:
I have it in my Vazi treasures deck to get the secret partners, Prosper and Faldorn.
Defense of the Heart is one of my favorite cards! It depends on the deck, but I like to get these two 💜💜💜
In this house we love Project X
Gah-ross.
Honestly, the first two I'd grab just because I haven't done it yet.
You sir are exactly my kind of EDH Sicko

Thassas Oracle and Leveler is the ultimate griefer
I like Gisella and Bruna. This is in my cedh Jetmir.
They’re married. I will not be taking questions at this time.
Hell yeah. If I was feeling Nathy here's what I would get:

the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It
Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
The President's Lament
Finished product
Grill time
Nate Silver's whole deal is that he accurately called a coinflip 20 years ago and, as a result, we will never be rid of him.
Hey @shivambhatt.bsky.social look what I found for my Harald Warriors deck...
Forgot to include the five spice powder.
We making skirt steak tonight
Oh do I have THOUGHTS about this
Love learning which cards in my collection are Warriors....
"Alex, surely you won't put a Phyrexian Rager in you read Warrior Commander deck based around a Phyrexian Rager, right?"
I broadly agree with you. However as a writer I have found it difficult to build an audience here. That being said it's probably because I built one during The Other Site's halcyon days and not the decline. It's less about this site and more about my approach, but easier to externalize.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Same here.
Nick Castellanos has the chance to do the funniest thing
universe loading the bases for a walkoff grand slam
Dudes, I made a quick TikTok saying like "Get your COVID/Flu shots" if you can and the video's doing numbers bc the comment section is popping off - Not even in a BAD way. People are just scared and desperate for info and they don't know where to get it. Fuck this admin SO hard.
Brooklyn is pretty okay I guess
My dad loved this spot for books back in the day.
Do what Tappy says and get your shot before Atlanta. I just booked my flu/Covid on the 5th.
Hi hello welcome!
A parent at this picnic just said: "ChatGPT told me it was a real Labubu."

My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.

Genocide. We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is. It’s Genocide, plain and simple.
Same family, same 75, same Day 2 result with Standard Landfall for father-daughter duo Adam and Dana Fischer at #SpotlightPlanetary!
For me it's either: Build around this Commander in a way that barely works in color or Mechanical Hook
Your punk dad is tired.
What makes you build a Commander deck? Does the Legendary grab your interest? Is there a mechanical hook you need to express? Does building "your way" lead to more enjoyment and a longer lasting deck?
Here is what tab two on my sheet looks like. Decks in salmon are deconstructed.
Tracking is new to me this year.
I have 15 current and I track my games. I get in between 6 and 12 a month and have taken apart ten or so this year. I have three decks I consider new (even though each of them have been played 3 times).
I feel like it depends on how often you play it. A deck is new minimum three months, but I'd you rarely play it that extends the fresh factor
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
I think the old system made it too hard for new names to punch through but this new one struggles to retain talent/build "stars".
Narrative was so much easier to build with high level events three weekends a month.
I can
Dad achievement unlocked: when we moved in we swapped to softer LED lights and I saved all our old ones. 18 months later I used one to replace a faulty bathroom light.
Wolf Blitzer but he just posts this:

Hell yeah Moon Knight
Good.
I'm just glad you don't have to foot that bill for the rest of your life.
