They are ALL great I assume you know there’s a book of them and also a video about the collaboration with glass and mosaic and tile artists to bring them to life? And maybe also a self-guided tour? And you’ve seen the birds? 6th-7th Ave/14th st Don’t remember which 23rd St. station has the dog

Huge mosaic of a bird’s head in orange gray, and multicolored shards on a subway station wall

Another bird, mostly orange, it’s a huge cloud of multicolor, orange, yellow, and black marbles and bubbles coming out of the top of its head

Old air filter, new air filter

Two air filters. The one on the left is coated in grey gook to the point where its fins are barely visible. The one on the right is white.

Just starting Ruth Braunstein’s “My Tax Dollars”about how Americans view paying and spending taxes. This quote struck me as correct more broadly. Part of our current difficulty is that many people view our system as deeply unfair. Centrist tinkering is rightly viewed as wildly inadequate.

Highlighted text reads: “Of course, this is not easy. Developing a tax system that is viewed by most citizens as legitimate is a fundamental challenge of any Democratic society, and perhaps especially one as pluralistic and individualistic as United States.”

Silver and black cyber truck waiting for the light, yes actually waiting, outside Frank Campbell’s funeral home on Madison Avenue at 75th

I ❤️ NY This kind of bustle is our essence 😘😘 And some Knicks jerseys! 🏀

Classic AI: A friend lives downtown and took this photo of the beginning of the parade route — from the asembly point on West St towards the Battery before turning up Broadway. iMessage added a note “shared photo of a construction site” which while narrowly true isn’t the point at all!

Big crowd waiting for the Knicks parade, which is mustering just out of the frame, at the foot of West Street with the pier and the Hudson River visible. Oh, and some construction equipment.
