Riding your bike in LA versus New York it's so different.

Like in LA if a car honked at you you look at them and they're like visibly angry.

Put in Newyork house. It's just gonna sound super aggressive tons of punks, but then I look at the driver as they pass by and There is not a hint of anger in their face. I know they're like "I don't have time for this quote.

As somebody who walks rides my bike and drives, I am a self hating pedestrian

I ride my bike around a lot and something I've noticed is that I think I'm willing to get hit by a car wife Because I'll run a red light if there's like a car coming, I think I can make it

But if there's a truck coming

I won't even try

Because I feel like I can survive getting hit by a car

But if a truck comes around

I'm not having an open casket funeral

Sometimes in New York and I mean other places too, somebody will just blatantly like run a red light and like almost kill somebody

And people get upset you know rightfully so

And they'll just be like fuck this person. What the fuck are you doing?

Me, my response is so different

My response is pretty much

This person is silly

What is silly person?

They're so silly that they might accidentally run somebody over

The subway is dangerous. People can assault you, it smells bad, and people will force you to watch their breakdancing

The subway is a dangerous place. People can force you to watch them breakdancing. If someone tried to do that on the street, you can walk away, but on the train, you can't. And the worst part? They're nice about it. They just appreciate you letting them exercise their craft. Some of them are twisted, they'll make your kid laugh and now you gotta give them money

Taking the L train at rush hour is such an L

Honestly sometimes I take the L back to & avenue so I can be first on the L and sit down

y'all ever take an L train? One of those commutes on the L that is just and L?

I'm afraid of the L train because sometimes it gets stuck with another train in front of it and I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck watching breakdancers for a while

Worse, I'm afraid of actually starting to like it

Because I'm broke and I can't support a breakdancer

—> It's like, the reason I wear a condom is so I don't bring any breakdancers into this world

—> if I start enjoying breakdancing, I want you to drink so red bull and throw me off a cliff, and don't give me any red bull so I can't save myself and fly

I live right next to a fire station

And I slept through a fire truck this morning

Things are not going well

Fact: Central Park South smells like horse shit kind of feels like karma

Like disparity in the difference in income, and just the fact that everyone Support is doing so much better than everybody who lives in the village or in Brooklyn

They're rich, but their entire block smells like horse shit

And they have to deal with tourists

And their entire block is shut down for the marathon. It feels like that is the universe balancing things out.

Central Park is beautiful. It's probably the nicest thing about the city, because it's not like the rest of the city. I think the horses are a bit much though

There's this new trend where guys will like the ferry their girls around Newyork on their electric scooter

And all I can think is that they look like Leo and Rose did when she was on the stern and he was behind her holding her waist.

Like it's cool you're getting your girl around and all but she's holding your hips from the back.

we used to ride horses, and now we're riding scooters together

I think we should bring back wearing masks just so everyone can understand how bad their breath smells

We should bring back forcing people to wear masks so they can remember how bad their breath smells

I prank call ICE and ask them if they're refrigerator is running

Because it probably is

—> and if they get mad, I'll just say "oh. Are prank calls inconvenient??? It's not like people are actually calling in the tip line"

—> I think growing up a lot of people hated prank calls, because they were mean and wasted people's time. Well now, prank calls are a public service. Not only are you wasting ICE's time, you're also preventing other people from getting their calls through. —> most ICE tips are not for violent offenders, so brining prank calls back is a great way to make sure innocent people aren't detained

Ice sucks, but not if you're a cop. As a cop, it's gotta be cool to find someone who is hated more than you

(Cait says; cops are lucky people hate ICE. I haven't heard ACAB in a while)

A cop on a horse is a lot like

I love going to the city because I have so many memories

whenever I pass specific specific street or something like remind me of a moment

like I'll pass this one place and I'll be like oh that's where I broke up with my ex-girlfriend did you and that's where I got back together with her and

that's where we broke up

That's where I saw five guys being shit at this guy.

That's awesome that's where I saw people doing cocaine next to a baby carriage.

I don't like cars, but I'm really appreciative that they're around mostly just because of emergencies

Because if bikes were all we had and you needed an ambulance that means the EMS would have to get off his bike take off his helmet and then give you CPR.

And honestly, I have never once tried to take my hands off my helmet off. I tried to kiss somebody I think that's just crazy.

I'm pretty sure I've given a bunch of women just by being around them in a helmet without a bike in sight.

Also like I think it's crazy that he actually has cops on bicycles because yeah, it gives them more mobility parts, but could you imagine getting tackled in handcuffed by somebody in a helmet
