  1. The Trump Administration's ban refugee ban is isolationist, racist, and completely disgraceful. This clear ban on Muslims is illegal, unethical, and immoral. He's repeating the same mistake as FDR when they turned away Jewish refugees, many of whom were murdered in the Holocaust. As a Jew, the fact he enacted this ban on Holocaust Remembrance Day makes me doubly-sick to my stomach.

      Transit improvements are the least of our worries at the moment.

  2. So who else here is excited for the Nintendo Switch?

  3. One thing that will forever get on my nerves when it comes to other buffs(or foamers, in this case) is when they push people aside just to get a photo or video. Some flash a transit museum pass as if that's a reason for them to act like a dick....that clearly shows what's inherently wrong with some people. I have heard and witnessed similar accounts, and it's just moronic....

      That's true too. I was manly referring to the fact that whenever the train stops, the conductor always says "We are being held by the train's dispatcher"

  10. Took a stroll down memory lane to 2010, around this month, and had a good laugh reading all of the Orange (M) hate and how folks said it wouldn't last......6 years later, it's still here and it's pretty successful from what I see.

      The 6 Avenue (M) is the smartest decision the MTA has made in a long time.

  12. So, I was busfanning, right? The driver stopped the bus and told me that filming buses are illegal. True or False? By the way, this happened on the Q10 while looking at the new schemes.

      Yeah. I like the wifi but there is no need for USB ports.

       

      On a semi related note the MTA Press Release is so vague, that when I linked it on twitter last night, it gave my friends the impression that these buses would be on their morning B16 the next day...

      The automated announcements, electronic destination signs and awesome propulsion sounds (Alstom not withstanding)are what keeps them interesting for me.

      I hate the Status Updates. It's impossible to write long answers... Anyway...

      the movie is not overtly sexual, its very sensual. The desires of each character aren't directly referenced or stated. They are veiled, hidden and it makes this movie a work of art.

      If you do end up watching Dil Se, I highly suggest watching it twice. The first time, it seems like a very unusual story but the second, it becomes clear that it express a love between two characters that can't be expressed by words.

      It references traditional Arabic literature in which there are seven steps to love, of course ending with both love interests dying.

      Yeah, Me too. Its seems much more realistic and in a way makes the "happier" parts even more enjoyable.I always liked this one Bollywood movie, Dil Se, because of this. Its very dark but it makes the parts where the main character feels love or elation even more powerful...
