The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has a lovely new ad (pictued above). Macaulay Culkin isn’t dead. New York hero Afroduck, who drove a very fast loop around Manhattan, is taunting the NYPD from Canada. A 21-year-old man was found on fire atop a Metro-North train. Whales, like everyone else, are flocking to the city. Here are […]
President Obama chose Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as the U.S. attorney general. She still needs to be confirmed by a soon-to-be Republican-majority Senate in January. A drunken nude man rode the subway. This cloud looks like it’s eating the moon over the East Village. Latin Kings arrested for wilding the […]
It took 11 days after the bill’s signing, but on Friday Mayor Bill de Blasio sees part of his “vision zero” plan to fruition when nearly all roads in this city drop to a 25-MPH speed limit. The move comes amid many high-profile pedestrian deaths, and while it’s only 5 MPH slower, it gives hope […]

Dispatchers had to go straight analog by writing down calls and radio-ing them in from 2:15 – 4:05 PM, according to the Daily News. Perhaps the most frightening part is that when the computerized system is down, dispatchers have no way of […]
It’s always been tough to be a “showtime” subway performer in NYC, but more so now that the NYPD has been cracking down on them. So what better time to give them some love? Just like this documentary shows how hard subway dancers practice in order humanize them, a new video by FairEnds shows the […]
Two years after Hurricane Sandy hit, there’s still work to be done on subway tunnels that were flooded. A Masshole shot himself by mistake, in the leg, at Port Authority. Kenyans run tings at the NYC marathon. There’s a weird cult in Murray Hill. The NYPD doesn’t look too happy about this Halloween costume. Giant […]
The Halloween-themed piece you see above was done by SLASH FTR in East New York. Dr. Ebola is doing much better. A federal court ruled that police unions cannot block reforms to the NYPD’s racially motivated and Constitution-trampling stop-and-frisk policy.
