  2. Tonight the Empire State Building will be lit magenta in celebration of Alesso’s New Single and Performance on the Empire State Building Observation Deck.

  3. THIS STARTED AS ONE TEACHER DECIDING THE BATHROOM PROBLEM WAS SOLVABLE.

    I teach environmental science at a public school in the Bronx. NYC puts out genuinely good public data — parks inspections, facility records, all of it. The gap was never the data. It was that almost nobody actually uses it for anything a person needs on a Tuesday afternoon.

    Open data doesn't help anyone sitting on a server. It has to become something.

  5. FEWER LISTED RESTROOMS IN A BRONX ZIP CODE COULD MEAN TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

    It could mean fewer restrooms exist. It could mean the data hasn't caught up to what's actually there. Public datasets can't always tell the difference — and that gap has real consequences for who gets counted.

    We flag which, when we can.

  6. wouldn't be New York city without all its people - Hispanic New Yorkers are one of the core groups that make it a great city - maybe even the greatest. Mayor Mamdani reminds us of these facts.

  7. #Seattle is lonely for me. Come to accept that #cisgender people here mostly despise/fear me, and other #trans deliver Seattle freeze. Argue with me all day long, but you don't live in my skin. So love your little Seattle all day but it doesn't love #MissKitty. I can't wait to get to #TheCity. #NYC

  9. WE'D RATHER TELL YOU A LISTING IS UNVERIFIED THAN PRETEND WE'RE SURE.

    Half of building this was resisting the urge to look more confident than the data allows. A map that claims certainty it doesn't have isn't more useful — it's just wrong with better posture.

    Honest and incomplete beats polished and fake.

  12. THE CITY'S OWN RESTROOM LIST HASN'T MOVED SINCE JUNE 2025.

    DCAS dataset i7jb-7jku: 1,066 restrooms, last updated 2025-06-27. No successor announced. Council and IBO reports still cite it as current.

    We cross-check it against OpenStreetMap, REFUGE, and Parks inspections — because one stale file shouldn't be the whole truth about where 8 million people can pee.

  15. GREAT thanks to #MAHA #MAGA #fascism, i was told #NYC Hospitals has not been able to get any #COVID19 #vaccines in stock.

    you can, like i just did, walk to any of our public hospitals or clinics, show an identification card, and get a #flu #influenza shot for free.

    my doctor's clinic doesn't have the vax either and my neighborhood pharmacy told me they have been priced out of buying it.

    last time i checked, CVS demanded i use an app if i wanted the COVID vax. fuck that.

  16. After almost a week down with the crum, got back into some livemusic over the past few days, hitting some old favorites like: Tsons of Tsunami absolutely off-the-wall in the best way at Barbès Saturday , quite possibly the most interesting band in livemusic at the moment; Yvonne Rogers debuting some new material with what I'd call her "normal" trio with Fraser/Gordon, just an elite jazz composer and improviser as good as ever at Close Up Monday; Tim Berne playing r pretty much 70 minutes straight of freejazz improv with an interesting sax/guitar/cello/bass/drum group at Lowlands, the rhythm section (Trevor Dunn + Tom Rainey) the focal point, they were on another level last night at Lowlands...

    Also, last night was 2026.300. Not last year's pace, but not too bad!
