#NYC Critical Mass
https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/30/fridays-headlines-a-critical-moment-edition
On the front page of #Wikipedia today:
Did you know ... that John Boyer was forced to train his own guide dog because the training program could not support people who were both blind and deaf?

(He's better known for creating #liblouis and other FOSS for the blind.)
A #Wikipedia article I started (inspired by @nathan!) is currently on the front page:
Did you know ... that some Jeep owners enjoy ducking each other?
Cars cross 60th St and pay the #CongestionPricing toll that kicked in at midnight.
Loudest cheers are whenever a bus passes by.
New #Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Herbstreit
Ben was a golden retriever known for accompanying his owner and companion, Kirk Herbstreit, during college football and #NFL events.
College GameDay also put together a pretty moving and sad tribute for Ben: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YCzj-SDYmY

Some forecasting, a bit of wishcasting, and the rest is totally made up. Looking forward to being wrong!
Ds flip Iowa and North Carolina
Rs flip Michigan and Georgia
Story: D gains with white educated voters flip Iowa and hold Wisconsin+Arizona. Demographic changes and weak governor candidate flip NC. R gains with voters of color take back Georgia and absentations over Gaza narrowly tip Michigan.
