I am the parent from this story and I want to bring an important lens. The object in the bottom right of the photo is a pediatric wheelchair. My son is disabled - he has a spinal cord injury. We were gifted 2 tickets to a World Cup game by an org that helps kids with disabilities attend major sporting events. We traveled 4 hours to NY and booked a hotel right next to Penn station, specifically bc - as anyone who is disabled or cares for a disabled person can tell you - getting around the city in a wheelchair is hell. Bc of the knicks game viewing at MSG, navigating lines, police barricades and narrow passageways where my son had to continually get in and out of his wheelchair was incredibly difficult. We were consistently given wrong info about accessibility and where we could or could not enter. NJT volunteers were so kind but wholly unprepared to help wheelchairs navigate. Elevators were either broken or added an extra 10 minutes of transit time every time we needed to use one, which was often bc the trains to MetLife were running on several different tracks. Lyfts weren’t allowed within a mile of the stadium and even people with handicap tags weren’t able to be dropped off in a private vehicle. We had atleast 10 different issues we had to troubleshoot, ask for help or rely on the kindness of strangers. I empathize with all the commuters and frustration with transit. I especially empathize with any commuters who use wheelchairs and are navigating barriers at every possible moment. Disabled people have to overprepare and overthink things that the rest of us get to underthink. I dont take any of this for granted and am grateful for the officers who heard how frustrated I was that we missed the last train by 2 minutes because of these barriers, and chose to spend 15 minutes helping a pediatric cancer survivor go have an experience of a lifetime. I also need to acknowledge that at every turn, bystanders and fans were quick to help us navigate trains, carry the wheelchair up the escalator, hold the elevator, carve pathways for us in a crowded stadium, and high five my son for being as brave as he is. Please do your part to carry this spirit forward and i hope transit systems and FIFA examine how to do better to make games every bit as accessible for disabilities as for everyone else. Being vocal and visible is the only way for things to change.

New Yorkers, Avoid the bookings beloved

men hate it when we call them girl like damn sorry bitch

if you squint at the word trillion it looks like guillotine

The idea that Elon Musk worked harder than every person alive and who has ever lived is a very stupid and immature fairytale. Wake up. He’s robbing us.

RT @lunwi75: Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did…

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

I hope whichever Knicks fan who wrote the script for this episode of Girl Meets World 10 years ago is enjoying themselves right now…

imma stop callin him wemby like we close. Victor Wembanyama is no friend of mine

this sucks.

This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.

“What if poor people abusė the system?” The system intrinsically abuşes poor people. I hope this helps.

This is such important journalism. taking people behind bars and showing similarities all New Yorkers have with folks locked up up on Rikers— a deep, unwavering love for the Knicks theguardian.com/sport/2026/j…

I don’t like the new subway car displays telling you which car/ side of the station you are closest to. Eliminates the knowledge gap between ball knowers and non-ball knowers

Interrupting is a SIGN OF RESPECT in adhd culture.

OH MY GOODNESS. I never thought I would ever say this . BRYCE MITCHELL IS FUCKING SPITTING

this guy needs to be stopped and once for all. he’s gone too far
