  5. Long Island Railroad (LIRR) will likely shut down Saturday night/ Sunday morning, as a strike begins.
    People were told to work remotely next week - shuttle buses are intended for essential workers to get in to NYC.
    Hocul, conservative that she is, called the unions greedy, for wanting their wages to keep up with inflation.
    MTA knows it will cave, so why not cave now, says article.

  9. It took fifteen (15) minutes for me to get a solo elevator to the top of seven (7) world trade #today. Twelve (12) elevators, not even close to my record, 23 to go up solo and 8 to go down.
    Was just in time for my meeting.

  13. "A passionately argued and important book." —The Guardian

    My book #Straphanger, in which I travel world looking at best (+ worst) in transportation + urbanism, is now available as an e-book—at a nice price.

    (NEW: I'm now the publisher, as well as the author! Buying here directly funds my writing—and my new project, about the passenger rail revival.)

  26. Men spitting off the subway platform. Morning, New York!
    Let the E go, waited a minute for the A.
    We caught up with the C ahead of the E, by Canal.
    Now it's decaf and ice water, repeat. Happily the winds aren't strong enough to sway us today... I don't like the creaking.

  30. Guy on the #express, amusing himself - and me - with a kind of growly #trombone-ish chat. Wasn’t sure if he meant it. Then he answered himself almost, this time in a jumpy #whistle wah-wah. And I realized it was a #conversation between #grownups on #CharlieBrown.
    Wasn’t sure if it was the guy next to me on the crowded A until he did another soft whistle sequence. Very tall old white guy like me but short white hair, #glasses, #reading the Times, folded, like you do.

  37. RE: masto.nyc/@GetMisch/1094514317

    My first self-BOOST of my pinned post. I've been in I.T. at Big Law for decades, but you might see me in syndication on TV. I still live in the theatre district - most I did were six auditions in one day - but now I post NYC things, political/ human rights, flower pics... Looking to connect w/ other progressives, I joined Mastodon three years ago, stopped using Xitter & Meta.
