This morning I was struck from behind by an illegal motorbike while running on the pedestrian path of the Williamsburg Bridge. The rider crashed into me, looked right at me, got back on, and fled. I'll recover. The next person might not. I looked for police for 30 minutes, then called 911 at 8:34am. NYPD arrived 76 minutes later and said they couldn't file a report because the bridge "wasn't their precinct." Then they left. Two weeks ago, two people were killed almost exactly this way on the Queensboro Bridge - an illegal high-speed scooter on a path never built for motor vehicles. Every rush hour, thousands of us walk and run these bridges assuming we're safe from motorbikes. We're not, and no one will own the problem. It's fixable: regular bridge enforcement, dedicated patrols, and automated camera enforcement. @ZohranKMamdani @NYC_DOT @NYPDnews - will your administration act before someone doesn't get to walk away? @StreetsblogNYC @TransAlt @Gothamist

Fran Lebowitz on the billionaires: “Every time someone suggests [a wealth tax] they say I’m moving. Go! They add nothing to New York. In the 19th century, those robber barons, they employed people. All this money magic employs no one. Goodbye, go. We don’t need you”

The plutocrats, none of whom live in Manhattan, spending millions to defeat @AlexBores are unaware that their transparent tactics could backfire. If those trying to shove AI down our throats are so afraid of Bores, he’s probably worth supporting.
