He sounds like a guy yelling at random people on 34th Street with a karaoke speaker
I am so VALIDATED. I use the 1 to commute to work. At least 2-3 times a week I get into a car without AC. @GovKathyHochul you're the worst for cutting the funding source that could have improved this.
Hey @KathyHochul, you should try commuting on our subways some time to fully understand what you've left us with without congestion pricing.
So glad @GovKathyHochul cancelled congestion pricing for cars driving into Manhattan so now I can sweat to death in subway cars without AC 🥰
Cc @MTA please get it together on the 1 train, no AC during this heat wave is offensive.

A solar eclipse is a really cool thing and anybody who tells you otherwise is being a dummy. There will be a *partial* (89.9%) solar eclipse today in NYC.
Start: 2:10pm
Max Eclipse: 3:25pm
End: 4:36pm
Go enjoy it (while wearing ISO-certified eclipse glasses) and have fun!
Flying LATAM Airlines in November and their communications to let me know about a time change is EXCELLENT. Super clear email and WhatsApp business message detailing the old flight time and new flight time 👏👏👏👏

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits
There is a corporation called @DanaherCorp with 8 billion dollars in annual profits. Much of that profit is made by price-gouging the world's poorest countries for life-saving tuberculosis tests. Danaher has done this in the dark for 13 long years.
Today, we shine the light.
There's a new version of this post

And there it is. The dongle we have all been waiting for. $29 for a Lightning to USB-C adapter. Never change, Apple. Never change.

The submarine company is going to get billed for these rescue efforts right? Since the accident happened as a direct result of their negligence which they were repeatedly warned about? Same way a state will bill the person who caused a wildfire?
WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!!
