Month: May 2015
U2 is one of the biggest bands in the world that no one actually likes (the biggest and least-liked is Nickelback, so U2 probably comes in second). Remember when they put their shitty album on everybody’s phone? On Monday, they posted up in Grand Central like their presence isn’t an unwanted disruption and entertained some […]
People sure are dumb. According to the New York Post, Sharlene Tse, the owner of a Queens nail salon, changed the name of her business from “ISIS Nails” to “Bess Nails and Spa” after months of harassment from people who were either trolls and/or legitimately thought the nail salon was somehow connected to the Islamic […]
On May 4th, there were two huge, tragic, and conflicting stories in New York City. One was the death of Officer Brian Moore, who was shot in the head in the line of duty on Saturday and succumbed to his injuries on Monday. The other was the non-indictment of Willie Groomes, the retired corrections officer […]
Drug Abuse Resistance Education, or as it’s commonly called, D.A.R.E., is the world’s largest and most ineffective anti-drug program ever. It’s also the dumbest.

The New York Civil Liberties Union will file an appeal of a Staten Island judge’s decision to not release the transcripts from the Eric Garner grand jury decision, according to a press release.

The place where they intersect is the heart of Times Square. A side effect of this federal jurisdiction is that these roads are now required to comply […]
The delivery messengers at Domino’s Pizza don’t give a fuck about the city’s commercial biking rules. DNAinfo looked at the Department of Transportation’s data around restaurants in violation of the law between April 2013 and August 2014 and found that the pizza chain was the number one offender. According to data from the DOT, Domino’s […]

Click the big play button above to hear the whole playlist or scroll down to see and hear individual tracks. Soul singer Van Hunt has been around for awhile and even won a […]
Waiting for a delayed train is one of the small agonies of New York City life. As the minutes stretch on, it becomes less and less certain that a train is ever coming, and people begin to worry they’ll be trapped there forever. The MTA doesn’t offer any solace. Even if there is an announcement, […]
