Why Is #NASA Shuttering This Iconic Institute in #NewYorkCity?
Since 1966 NASA’s #Goddard Institute for #Space Studies (#GISS) has been at the forefront of Earth and planetary science from its location in upper #Manhattan. Now a Trump is ejecting its scientists to parts unknown
GISS itself has not been disbanded. But without a physical home and under threat of a #WhiteHouse–proposed 50% cut to the entirety of NASA’s science its mission is uncertain

Less Honking, Faster Trips, Fewer Injuries: Is There Anything #NYC's Congestion Relief Pricing Can't Do?
In 100 days, 6 million fewer cars drove into lower #Manhattan than had done so a year earlier. In March, the decrease was 80,000 per day.

The bus routes in Manhattan are so much less clogged that the drivers are being forced to slow down to maintain their schedules

Jalopnik · Less Honking, Faster Trips, Fewer Injuries: Is There Anything NYC's Congestion Relief Pricing Can't Do?By Collin Woodard

Here are some fun pics - for my 40th birthday in 2021 we escaped to Glasgow for a long weekend (in between lockdowns). My wife had booked a hotel in the city centre as a surprise. When we arrived we found several streets shut down, and entirely redressed as 1969 Manhattan for the filming of the latest Indiana Jones movie 🍿
