Just created an API to pull #publictransit data from my #NYC #OMNY account. My total rides and card balances are updated hourly on my #homeassistant dashboard. #nycmta #mta #opensource #subway
* NYPD bomb squad is currently safely transporting the devices for examination.
* Today’s entire incident was captured on NYPD Argus cameras.
* There have been six total arrests, including a member of Jake Lang’s group who used pepper spray on a counter-protester.
There is significant confusion about the frightening incident today during dueling protests in front of Gracie Mansion.

Some facts just provided by @NYPDPC:
* Two individuals who were part of the anti-Jake Lang protest have been arrested for use of ignitable devices
* The devices were jars wrapped in black tape with nuts, bolts, screws and a hobby fuse
* It is not yet known if the devices were functional explosives or hoax devices because it is not yet known if they contained energetic material

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

People keep asking me:

How’s NYC’s economy and budget doing?

There’s good news and bad news.

Here are 7 #’s that tell the story.

Office of NYC Comptroller Mark Levine on Instagram: "NYC faces a significant budget shortfall — $2B for the rest of FY 26 and a projected $10B projected for next fiscal year.   But these gaps weren’t caused by a bad economy. In fact, most of the data is positive. This shortfall is the result of prior budgeting decisions that we must now confront.   📰 NYC by the Numbers, No: 109 - January 2026"

What would happen if ICE wanted to join the Fediverse? Most instances probably wouldn’t host that account, but some would. The account would be broadly blocked at both individual and instance levels, and some instances would probably defederate the hosting instance. Some folks would migrate between instances based on these choices. All this, I think, would be a good outcome?

Don't accumulate more backlog, OK? Because I screwed up a little last time I shot the Harlem holiday lights with film, this time I did it again with my digital camera. How does shooting film influence my digital photography? Number 1, I think more before I shoot. But I get to appreciate how nice some digital features are. Like burst mode, easier to try again if I screw up, camera stabilization, and how auto features (usually auto ISO and auto focus for me) let me react fast to capture fleeting moments. The RAW file is nice, though somehow it feels more authentic when I get it right in camera instead of in Darktable. #nyc #harlem #nightphotography #dusk #holidaylights #streetphotography #darktable

George Clooney is an actor.

Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.

Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.
