Big mess right now on 4,5,6. Impossible to make decisions as custom anncmnt drowned out by irrelevant generic automated @MTA ones. Next train arrival boards no help.
Gotta love the @MTA anncmnts when train is stalled in tunnel and the reason — ‘there’s a train ahead of us’ — and you were waiting on the platform where there were no trains ahead of the one you’re on for a long time. ‘We’ll be moving shortly.’ Q between USQ and 34th.
If only current administration, DOT, were thinking this way. curbed.com/2023/09/janette-s… @JDavidsonNYC
Cyclists, pedestrians, pedicabs, runners - total chaos in Central Park. Somehow it works, and everyone has a good time. What doesn't work -- the hazardous speed cyclists who slow down for no one, and curse at everyone. @NYC_DOT @CentralParkNYC

For Passover I wanted to give a shoutout to Liebman's Kosher Delicatessen, an absolute classic Jewish deli here in the Bronx. I visited with @Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader and I can attest that their pastrami is absolutely delicious. (Watch #Homeplate on the @YESNetwork app)

Jimmy Finkelstein talked to me about The Messenger, a new newsroom that he hopes will be as big as the LA Times by the end of next year:

Interesting goal -- 'hoped the publication’s colorful writing, compelling visuals and in-depth reporting would make its audience “fall in love” with media again.'

Red tape and an arbitrary decision is keeping my brother from continuing his important newsgathering in a neighbourhood he has called home for 10 years. Thanks to @nytimes for their coverage of @philobr’s story today.
