I'm going to become the Robert Moses of trains, and drive a goddamn line through the street of each one of these finance dickwads that think they're too good to take the fucking train. (hexbear.net)

If they really want to drive an suv through lower Manhattan, how about we install a fucking sphinx that they have to answer to lest they be eaten

On what fucking grounds are they suing? What right do they have to dictate how the City runs itself? This lawsuit had better be thrown the fuck out.

Also, is there anything redeemable on Long Island at all? I've long thought it would probably be best to cleanse it with fire after the revolution. (The people can leave, with the caveat that cops aren't people.)

I visited Long Island once, and the pizza and bagels are both NYC quality imo, and I really liked Fire Island (which is an LGBT friendly spot in Long Island). and I can see the appeal of wanting a place close to the city to get away from.

But for the most part, it's in the toilet. All that dense population but it's hella car dependent and Levittown, the blueprint for suburbs, originated here.
