Thankful that we haven’t had much sloppy weather this year and that Queensboro Bridge was clear this morning but damn if Sunnyside Yards wasn’t a lousy mess. Gonna ask for the umpteenth time what agency is responsible for maintenance? @NYCSanitation @NYC_DOT @Amtrak @LIRR

Our Annual Fundraiser starts today! Visit fundraiser.resonance.fm and help the best radio station in the world secure a permanent new home. In in these tough & belt-tightening times, we need your help to move forward - even to just stand still.

Really looking forward to tonite’s commute…I’m sure the 311 complaints that are already closed must have done some good.

Love nothing more than to roll up on an unsalted, slick bridge that’s a giant slip and slide. Thank goodness the relatively dry road bed has salt.

Who the hell do you have to contact in this city to get bike lanes on bridges salted/cleared? Queensboro Br path was the all too typical mess this morning. It’s only a key piece of infrastructure & this wasn’t exactly a surprise/several feet of snow that drained resources.

@gtra1n Argh, similar nonsense this evening, too. Traditions In Swing suddenly cut off for Sat. Night at the Opera now back to TIS. Is anyone even at the station? It wasn’t this bad when the station was closed during the pandemic.

Anyway, DM if you want the name of who to avoid in NYC and on a more positive note; a lovely and reliable local moving company that has moved us twice now.

Literally pushed past the movers at one point and knocked over several boxes “by accident”. I mean, that’s some sorry behavior. This is the 2nd time we dealt with this management company and they have directly made our move a PITA. Should’ve learned the first time…

He was really pissy about us flaunting “the rules” but when the elevator stopped working temporarily we had to find him to restart it and the mother fucker is making sausage in the basement. Like full on meat market set up…I’m sure that’s totally ok w/building rules and DOH.

You can’t make this shit up: rescheduled our move from yesterday to today only to find out from our super that Sunday is a no moving day for our building. Didn’t realize that and he didn’t like that I don’t give a shit so he’s being a fucking passive aggressive pest.

@AbstractTruth Been using the Aeropress for traveling for years. Don’t know if you can still get the reusable filters but worthwhile as it alleviates the need for paper filters.

@longrally Happy to see so much love for @3lobed & definitely agree w/Black Truffle & add RogueArt.

@GlennDonaldson Just dug a couple issues out of my storage space to reread. Really love the writing; the enthusiasm is palpable.

Wtf why does spousal consolidation of student loan debt disqualify the loan from public service forgiveness? It’s such a stupid technicality and I’m sure if I stopped paying there would be a way to track down who owes what? #argh

Well, it’s actually happening; an effin’ CitiBike station a block away w/more to come!

Official 30 years of mayhem post (27 that the state acknowledges)/ Happy Canada Day! I’m the lucky hair all in this arrangement.

Will believe it when I see it but it seems good news that the era of this void in the CitiBike network will FINALLY be filled. twitter.com/NYC_DOT/status…

Happy to be wrong about 7 (not all service lousy as the bad old days of the G train). I’d have grabbed a shiti bike toget home but the closest stations to home are a mile away b/c Sunnyside is a black hole of docking stations #oldmanyellsatcloud #nexttimeillridemybike

Thankfully that bit of info was wrong. Great system ya got em tee ayyyy - train arrival times miss I g or wildly inaccurate. Guess it’s “FU, yr a captive audience & you’ll take whatever BS we dish out”.
