this, on top of everything else we have to deal with. 

did we talk about this already?

Ariana Grande is headlining the Gay Pride dance on the pier this year. I've never been to one of those, but I'll go if Faith comes with me to make sure I stay hydrated and cute.

see you soon Ariana and NYC gays of all shapes, sizes and creeds!

if you never take the nyc subway, this won't mean anything to you, otherwise...!!!!!

your nyc weather forecast

from gothamist, almost time for sweaters!


Closer to home, a cool Canadian high pressure system sits over the lower Hudson Valley this morning, bringing us a cool, clear and dry day. Except for a few thin cirrus clouds we're in for a sunny afternoon and a high in the mid 70s. The high slips offshore and the wind will start coming out of the south overnight, providing us with a mostly cloudy Tuesday with a high in the lower 80s. 

Warmer, more humid weather is in store for Wednesday. Could it be the last 90-degree day of the year? The heat, humidity and an approaching cold front cry out for us to say there will be a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms starting Wednesday afternoon, and an even better chance on Thursday. Thursday's high will probably be in the mid 80s. Much cooler air is expected to arrive next weekend.

2Pz mayor watch

last night, i caught some of the mayoral debate on latino issues, which took place among the democratic candidates at hunter college, and aired on NY1, so pretty legitimate. i went in a christine quinn supporter, but after giving about 45 minutes of my time to make ill-informed, personality-based judgments, i think i'm starting to be swayed by the charms of mr. bill de blasio. people keep saying he's the one we're "supposed to like", anywayz.

so, i thought a good way to jump into this race was to follow a few on twitter. i am now following @ChrisCQuinn, @BillThompsonNYC, @JohnLiu2013, and @deBlasioNYC. i am NOT following @anthonyweiner as i'm not tryin' to see any dick pics on my twitter feed (pervert).

anyway, i made a major discovery on my way, and that is that BILL DE BLASIO IS FOLLOWING ME!!! that's a surefire way to get this vote, if you know what i mean. also, he's friends with alec baldwin, so.

who are you leaning toward so far? tell me everything. here's a handy guide to get you started. let's learn together.

vote for christine quinn

she went on national tv monday night after the soda ban got killt, and celebrated with a giant DC. a lady after my own heart.

go get the biggest DC you can find today...

...because the new york city soda ban starts tomorrow.

here's a handy guide to the new rulez.

the more you know

If, god forbid, I fall onto the tracks or someone I am willing to risk my life for falls into the tracks and is knocked out - and a train is coming (lets say 30sec away) - what should I do? Are those pits between the rails by the platforms made for people to hide in in a worst case scenario?

The best thing you can do is run as far down the platform as you can (in the opposite direction from where the train enters the station) and wave your arms frantically to get the train operator and passenger's attention. Believe me, the passengers WILL be doing the exact same thing, as nobody wants to see you get run over and their train get delayed. If you can get to the far end of the platform, it gives the train more room to stop, and there is a ladder at the end of each platform where you can climb back up -- do NOT try to climb up from where you are. So many people have been killed trying to jump back up rather than getting away from the entrance end of the station.

Do NOT trust the pits between the tracks --- they are often right next to the third rail which can be just as dangerous (and note that the wooden planks are not designed to hold a human's weight - they are there to protect the energized rail from drips and weather) and the train operator is less likely to see you if you're in there. And don't duck under the train, because most stations do not have enough clearance for the average human. And do NOT jump down onto the tracks to try to save someone else. The best thing you can do is run on the platform towards the tunnel where the train enters so you can get the operator's attention sooner. Waving your arms over the tracks will tell the operator to stop immediately.

this is the answer the MTA does not want you to know.

did you hear about the mattress that flew off a building roof terrace and knocked a guy out
