All killer, no filler this week (which is a nice way of saying I’m too fucking tired to write the 100 somethingth intro for this thing).
Kosciuszko Bridge leaves Greenpoint peacefully and without an explosion
There was no one there to defend the bridge with wolves and swords, but at least phase one of the Kosciuszko Bridge’s disassembly was a bit less dramatic than expected. It’s central section was transported to New Jersey (oh the shame) yesterday by tugboats to be recycled. Implosions are planned for the remaining sections later […]

The victim is named Molly and the attack occurred on Saturday at Williamsburg’s Alligator Lounge. She was attending a birthday party when she was approached by a stranger.

Williamsburg’s BARC Shelter responds to Lena Dunham
If you haven’t been following the controversy, the Girls star has been taking a lot of heat for giving her dog Lamby to a shelter following “four years of challenging behavior and aggression.” She adopted the pooch from Williamsburg’s own BARC shelter and claims the dog was abused as a pup and unmanageable: A […]
