The long-awaited separation of pedestrians and cyclists on the Queensboro Bridge falls just short of greatness, as DOT has yet to update the lane markings and add enough wayfinding, five months after Adams unceremoniously kicked cars off a shoulder road. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/10/e...

The discourse has finally arrived at “is circumcision correlated with guys who like fire trucks too much,” a subject on which I am an expert, this is my moment.

I appeared on @majorityreport.bsky.social today to talk about the fight my colleagues and I at @nydnunion.bsky.social have been waging for more than three years, in an effort to get Heath Freeman and Alden Global Capital to invest in the Daily News — not strip New York’s hometown paper for parts

Feel like if circumcision caused autism, it would have made the signs at the intactivist parade.

Like a lot of things with RFK Jr if someone just said this to you and wasn’t in charge of medicine in America you’d go: ooooooookay and keep pressing the elevator button

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

This is a huge case of Streetsblog Gets Action, but this is also thanks to the environmental and neighborhood activists in the area around Starlight Park who, against all odds, organized to kick the state DOT's teeth in. So congratulations to them for a very impressive win

Leaving aside the morals of it all (not leaving aside the morals actually) it must be so weird to work for a guy who at any moment is just going to say in all caps "I am directly undermining you, the very person out there doing my bidding"

In a court filing about the cut to transit security funding by DHS, lawyers for New York note the federal government's argument that the end of the fiscal year means the money can't be reallocated is directly contradicted by the president TRUTHing an order to reverse a different cut to New York.

If the 5 unions now holding out had accepted pattern bargaining, none of these contract work rules would've been discovered.

Trump take food

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 2d

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
