10 people you see on the New York City subway (Part 1)

It’s no secret that the New York City subway, operated by the crooked MTA, has been extra trash recently. With delays on another level to start the summer, it’s almost like the entire staff at Kinkos started running the train systems out here.

And it’s not like this shit wasn’t already difficult to begin with. Just peep how bad it’s gotten.

Still, unfortunately, the train is truly the best way to get around in this city.

For those of us who actually have to take the train everyday, we know the struggle of seeing/smelling some of the wildest shit of all time on the regular. But just like New York City itself, it’s the people who make the subway unlike anywhere else in the world.

The characters you see on the train range from brazy to too brazy.

Just ask any New Yorker what’s the worst thing they’ve seen on the train and it probably has to do with a homeless dude jerking off. Shit is terrible son.

Realistically, we’re talking about the underworld of Gotham where literally anything can happen. You have to be mentally prepared to see anything, man.

Shout out to Subway Creatures for curating some of the most shocking footage of wild ass people on the train and raising awareness of the madness.

The world needs to know what’s going on out here, man. It ain’t nothin’ nice!

Stay WOKE: Trump’s morning tweets put his own travel ban at risk

In the aftermath of a series of deadly attacks in London that killed 7 and left many more injured, President Donald Trump (still feels weird to say that) took to Twitter over the weekend and this morning to offer his deepest condolences and support for the victims of the attacks and stood by our closest ally in their time of need.

Sike!

Trump retweeted the far right blog Drudge Report, bashed the mayor of London, and took the opportunity to criticize the United States court system and Justice Department for striking down his racist travel ban.

Here’s the President of the United States criticizing the mayor of London after a terror attack.

Here’s the statement from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, whose city was just attacked by terrorists,

“Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. No reason to be alarmed. One of the things the police, all of us need to do is make sure we’re as safe as we possibly can be.”

Seeing as Khan was telling his constituents not to be alarmed over the increase in police presence in his city, Trump either intentionally took Khan’s words out of context or he can’t really read, it’s literally all on the table with this guy.

Regardless of your politics, let alone Trump’s or Khan’s, this is just so disgraceful. Imagine if a foreign leader took it upon themselves to criticize an American mayor of a major city in the wake of a deadly terror attack?

As every other sane country in the world backs away from America like we’re the combative, blacked-out dude at the bar, we need the U.K. as an ally more than ever, but our watered-down-fascist-in-chief can’t control himself and just act like a damn adult.

Here’s ol’ Trumpy ranting before he’s even had his breakfast:

The issue with these tweets, besides the fact that our country will most likely never recover from electing a repeated sexual assailant and bankrupted reality TV host as president, is that Trump’s tweets hurt his own legal case as it pertains to the travel ban.

Whether or not it was a “ban” or a “pause” became a major point of debate for the Trump administration when the executive order was signed back in January.

At the time, White House Press Secretary (although not for long) Sean Spicer insisted, “It’s not a Muslim ban. It’s not a travel ban. It’s a vetting system to keep America safe.”

Well, here’s Spicer’s boss saying the opposite.

Of course, the issue of whether it’s a ban or not is a big deal.

According to Constitutional Law scholar and University of Texas professor Stephen Vladeck, Trump’s tweetstorm actively hurts his case in court.

Trump being mad online isn’t just embarrassing for our slowly-collapsing nation, it also puts his staff in a tough position.

Trump’s minion of distasteful mouthpieces, Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will be trotted out to the media and have to defend the indefensible, making their sociopathic boss seem like he has it all under control.

Look at Kellyanne on ‘The Today Show’ saying we spend too much time focusing on the president’s tweets.

The only statements we get from Trump are prepared speeches (like that shitshow at NATO last week) and his tweets, so how else are we supposed to know what the president thinks?

I mean, Kellyanne Conway’s OWN HUSBAND, George Conway (a partner at the prestigious New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz) tweeted his take on the whole matter, saying that Trump’s tweets would inevitably hurt his case in court.

Georgey even added a little “sad” at the end there, taking one out of Trump’s playbook.

I suppose it is “sad” that our dumbass president is undermining his own unconstitutional legislation because he can’t control himself from tweeting at 6 in the morning.

All this dude does is tweet, golf, and say/do various bigoted, and/or stupid shit. This once proud nation really elected some random grandpa from Palm Beach as president.

No surprise, but grandpa doesn’t know how to act like an actual president. Donny, buddy, you’re no longer on the campaign trail, your job is not to fire up the masses of vacuous, racist, tax-cut-humping automatons as possible. Now you have to actually, like, do stuff.

The president’s impulse control is preventing him from enacting his agenda, which, I suppose is better than him actually being able to do the evil stuff he wants to.

Four months into the Trump presidency and the whole thing seems completely untenable, yet here we are. At this point, we just gotta hope Elon was right and none of it matters.

What’s really good with Kanye lately? An investigation

Kanye West is probably one of the most egocentric artists to ever touch a microphone but when he drops the heat or has some fire leaked we always can expect the best quality of music.

Just an example, an ex-intern at Def Jam leaked information of a meeting regarding the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Rory Farrell, who is now the co-host of The Joe Budden Podcast, said that each song was originally 10 minutes long, including a 20-minute-long version of “Runaway,” according to the podcast interview he had with Eric and Jeff Rosenthal of ItsTheReal.

Farrell described how West showed up to a Def Jam Conference wearing a full suit with a kid dressed identically to him carrying his Louis Vuitton bag.

Before unveiling MBDTF Kanye scheduled a meeting the next day where he made everyone wear black suits, white shirts, and black ties.

Farrell claimed,

He shows up out of nowhere at the Def Jam offices like Lupe and Nas trying to get their albums out, in a full suit. He has—I want to say it was Don C’s son, but don’t quote me—there’s a child dressed identical to him, carrying his Louis Vuitton bag. Comes in and is just throwing a fit at how shitty everyone is dressed. So he says, ‘I’m not doing business today until everyone [here is wearing] a suit.’

MBDTF is Kanye’s magnum opus, it’s the ultimate display of his genius, and also his wildest, most eccentric traits.

This is man who said in an interview with Slate, 

“When I think of competition it’s like I try to create against the past. I think about Michelangelo and Picasso, you know, the pyramids …”

But what’s good with Kanye lately?

If you didn’t hear, there was a leak last night! Someone leaked three Kanye West songs via SoundCloud, two of which featured ASAP Rocky, Young Thug, and Migos. Of course, all three have been taken down off of SoundCloud but we’ve managed to hear at least two that are still up on Youtube.

After listening to ASAP Rocky track, “Euro,” I thought it was pretty good, but it was no “Jukebox Joints.” Honestly, Rocky’s verse saved the song, otherwise the track made me feel like I was listening to something out of 2013. Of course, the sample was tough.

Don’t even get me started on the Migos and Young Thug collab. “Hold Tight,” was absolute garbage. If it wasn’t for Thugga at the end, I don’t know if I would’ve let the whole song play out. The song sounded like a brain fart in all honesty. It sounded like me and my homies freestyling saucy, talking about smashing white women.

Check out Kanye’s second verse below,


Sick Bars Bro…

I be actin’ like I’m white (white)
Fuckin’ white bitches, black and white dick (oh, ayy)
like we don’t tiki talk shit, bossed up
100 bump, I do that shit all night
Sniff a line
I be sniffing Miley Cyrus with Miley Cyrus
In a bathroom with my thumb in her ass
Now I’m actin’ like I’m white


In more news, I don’t know if you peeped the new Yeezys – the Pedophile 8s

https://www.instagram.com/p/BUxmyDHDMNy/


According to TMZ, Kanye is also looking to design the Calabasas High School sports’ team uniform?

Currently, Calabasas has a deal with Adidas, the clothing giant that owns West’s Yeezy brand. Yeezy’s team recently met with school officials to pitch his idea, to design the school’s sports uniforms and re-brand the program, changing the mascot name from Coyotes to Wolves.

How do you feel about Ye’s creativity – his new kicks, music, and collaborations? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Dubai Police unveil the first Robotic Cop. What could go wrong?

Can you imagine getting stopped by a robotic snitch? The Dubai police have rolled out the first robotic officer and it will be the first unit of many robots to join the force.

The DPD is looking to amp up their backup, aiming for these mechanized snitches to take over a quarter of their force by 2030.

Not only does this thing use artificial intelligence to bag you but it can use face recognition technology to see if you are on the wanted list. The snitch can’t be that fast wheeling at 220 pounds. I can tell you right now, it wouldn’t catch me if it saw me toking.

How could this thing ever peace me?

The 70-inch tall cop droid can also engage with people too. Its emotion detector allows the robocop to recognize a person’s gestures and body language from five feet away.

The detector can tell if a person is happy, sad, and even angry by studying his or her facial expression.

Trust me it gets more sus’. The robot is said to have a list of corny ass jokes if it has to lighten the mood.


I don’t think robots should have a humor setting


Strapped with an interactive tablet, The Robosnitch can communicate with people, speak six languages, respond to public queries, and shake hands too.

The Robocop also comes equipped with a navigation system so if it’s ever trapped in the hood it can find its way back to the robocrib.

To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about a robotic police force. Even though the only one in existence is in Dubai I know some real G’s that wouldn’t feel too good about it, if they saw one of these strolling around in their city.

Who knows? You might start seeing more robosnitches around your hood.

Is it a wrap for you? 8 signs you a washed millennial

Getting old is one of the hardest things to accept and to be honest, it’s trash.

Yeah sure, age ain’t nothing but a number and youth is in the mind but when your body literally starts to break down on you and stop working the way it used to, it could be one of the most trash feelings in the world.

I’m 25 and I already feel like shit daily. I’m always just mad tired, sick because I’m not just chillin’ on a yacht and things that used to not bother me are starting to get me tight.

Realistically, I’m Gucci at the same time, but there’s no denying what this is. Just like me, you too may be a washed millennial.

Think back to like five years ago. How carefree were you? How good did you feel? When you fell down you would just pop right back up. Get up and try it again!

Falling down today is more like tumbling down the stairs. You gonna get up eventually but you might need a minute. And when you do get up ya knee is feelin’ brazy.

It’s like what most retired athletes say at the end of their careers: father time is undefeated. Only difference is you definitely ain’t no pro athlete but you might be washed too, b.

Here’s some clear signs that it’s a wrap for you.

You deadass not tryna go out like ever.

Going out in your early 20s compared to the the later years is one of the biggest differences because you’re not really tryna do it anymore.

Especially if you were going hard at one point, you more than likely would rather just post up at the crib, smoke something, order some seamless and stream some shit. Seeing people you don’t really fuck with and gotta pretend you care about is trash too.

One of the hardest parts about going out when you washed is coming up with new excuses to your friends of why you can’t go.


You can’t handle eating ratchet meals anymore.

Remember what it was like to eat with no repercussions? I’m talking about fuckin’ up a bacon cheeseburger and a shake at 3am and being able to hit the gym a few hours later.

I’m talking about not caring about what the fuck a calorie was. As you get older, and more washed, you can literally feel every fry you’ve eaten. You can actually feel your heart to slow down and the complications kick in.

You’ve lost that untouchable feeling of youth and feel more like a flaming sack of shit.


You might need to see a doctor after one game of pick up basketball.

If there’s one thing that truly makes you realized you’re washed, it’s playing ball with kids younger than you.

Sure, you can lock up and get those buckets still (fuck outta here), but it’s the after effects that truly make you realize you can’t do this shit like you used to.

Muscles you didn’t know existed start to cramp up, your shoulders start to get strained and your ankle is cooked son. This is a young man’s game. Stick to 2K.


You the one with the Netflix password that everyone’s stealing.

Being that source of how your cousins, their homies and their extended families are watching Netflix is a clear sign you washed.

That means you’re kinda responsible but let’s be real here, no one should be paying for Netflix. You the one getting played here dog.


Hearing mumble rappers like Lil Uzi angers you.

Look, 90s rap was 90s rap. And the 2000s was the 2000s. If you can’t at least tolerate the shit these youngins are putting out today, then at least try to keep that shit to yourself.

No one’s tryna hear how Bone Thugs N’ Harmony was better than Migos (low key though) or how no one’s still fucking with Tupac and Biggie (true). You just sound like one of those old timers talking about you need five elements of hip-hop shit and still bumping KRS-One like it just came out.

They all had their time at one time. It’s now the era of, “YAH, YAH, WHAT!”


You get a little too hyped when an old Nelly song comes on.

Going off of your music taste, if the first second a Nelly track still makes you go wild, then you looking real wild yourself.

The good thing about our classics compared to shit our parents were bumpin’ is that this shit is still undeniably hot but tin today’s age, that’s the same thing as bumping some boom bap shit. It’s just not what’s poppin’ anymore.

The video for “Tip Drill” will forever be legendary though.


You truly can’t deal with being hungover anymore.

The most obvious reason you’re washed. Drinking liquor is now the devil.

When your hangover start lasting for multiple days, you know it’s gotta be a wrap for your immune system and probably your heart.

You still do it but every time you try to turn up, you wake up feeling absolutely terrible. I’m talking about yacking it with the bumpin’ ass headache and literally losing an entire day or two of your life.

You then have to deal with this every time you decide to drink from here on out.


You’re actually using your college degree.

Well, it looks like the life you set out to achieve when you graduated 12th grade actually worked out. Congratulations, you’re officially washed!

It’s not a bad thing but just realize this, there is nothing remotely exciting about you.

You played the game by the book and listened to what everyone’s ever told you. You did exactly what they expected and didn’t exceed any expectations. You’re right on the line!

You might as well start poppin’ kids out, move to the suburbs and drive a Dodge Caravan. You most definitely washed b.

Would a Frank Underwood presidency be a good look for America?

The fifth season of House of Cards has finally premiered this week on Netflix after a 14-month wait.

We all know from past seasons that Frank Underwood, Kevin Spacey’s character, has always been a little bit careful – choosing his moves wisely – but this time around he does not give one! He’s coming for America’s neck, one nation Underwood, you feel me. Do you remember watching the trailer?

Actually, I got a little shook because HOC is real AF.

He’s worked hard to gain power in the oval office but will he let that power get to his head this season? The Underwoods are going for 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, basically, you get the point, they’re going for a complete takeover of the American government.

If you don’t know who Frank Underwood is, please let me give you a quick rundown because this dude is a mutha fuckin boss.

He is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He’ll play you like a Gameboy . Even when you think you are winning, you are not. Underwood is just waiting for you to take that one misstep. Shit, he’ll even kill you.

I’m only a couple of episodes into the new season but his tyranny already has me thinking, what if this was real? What if Frank Underwood was actually our Commander and Chief?


Our president would get it poppin’ with Drake.


What order? Underwood has no authority!


He’d make his wife run for VPOTUS.


Marshal Ali would be our president’s arch nemesis.


He’d devour you like he devours Freddy’s BBQ ribs.


He’ll put a muzzle on that mouth.


Or Frank will just straight up kill you!


Our president would be a human calculator.


He wouldn’t misspell “COVERAGE.”


Our commander and chief would have peace of mind because he doesn’t give one about the skeletons in his closet.

Haven’t started streaming yet? Start watching Season 5 of House of Cards on Netflix, here.

Stay WOKE: Trump budget aims to remove civil rights across the board

While you were relaxing on the beach this weekend, taking flicks on whatever new floaty thing is fashionable this summer, and getting that much needed base tan, the Trump administration initiated plans to roll back civil rights agencies and protections across the board, as part of the administration’s 2018 budget plan.

The plan would effectively eliminate the Office of Federal Compliance Programs (OFCCP) a government agency that’s stated mission is to,

“Protect workers, promote diversity and enforce the law. OFCCP holds those who do business with the federal government—contractors and subcontractors—responsible for complying with the legal requirement to take affirmative action and not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.”

The OFCCP ensures that government agencies don’t discriminate against people for any reason based on prejudice. By folding the OFCCP into another agency, the Trump administration is rendering it basically ineffective, unable to perform the duties that the agency was set up to perform.

This is a step in line with many of Trump’s budget cuts, which unfairly target minorities and the poor, through systematic restructuring, flat out elimination of protections for the vulnerable, or installing heads of departments that actively oppose the agency’s core ideas, all in an attempt to run those agencies into the ground.

Take the EPA, for instance.

Trump named Scott Pruitt, a Republican from Oklahoma, to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

Scott Pruitt is a climate change denier. According to the Chicago Tribune, gas and oil companies have contributed over $300,000 to Pruitt’s campaigns since he’s been a politician.

It is in Pruitt’s best interests, or at least his pockets’ best interests, to ensure that the EPA has an anti-environmental philosophy, removing all shackles on the oil industry so they can freely pollute and drill wherever, however, and whenever they want to.

Pruitt and his gaggle of moneyed oilmen, now in charge of protecting the environment, also plan to eliminate the EPA’s environmental justice program, which, according to the Washington Post,

“Addresses pollution that poses health threats specifically concentrated in minority communities. The program, in part, offers money and technical help to residents who are confronted with local hazards such as leaking oil tanks or emissions from chemical plants.”

Trump is eliminating the part of the EPA that protects low-income or minority areas from natural disasters or ‘local hazards’.

There’s so much more.

The Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights would also see massive staffing cuts, to the point of making the agency basically ineffective.

Again, from the Washington Post,

“Administration officials acknowledge in budget documents that the civil rights office will have to scale back the number of investigations it conducts and limit travel to school districts to carry out its work.”

This step would basically drive the Office of Civil Rights straight into the ground, the department would simply be unable to carry out its duties and investigate when actually called upon.

There’s also an active and direct campaign by the Trump administration to curtail any efforts for LBGT protections made during Obama’s presidency.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, headed by Ben Carson, who claims that gay marriage leads to bestiality and pedophilia, is attempting to eliminate a rule that allows homeless or displaced transgender people to select sex-segregated shelters of their own choosing.

And of course there’s little Jeff Sessions, a very pathetic old man that has made a career off stripping people of their basic civil rights. Sessions, now the head of the United States Justice Department, once ‘joked’ that the Ku Klux Klan “was O.K. until I found out they smoked pot,” is leading an effort to ensure that police have full reign with zero accountability and take away protections from the people that need them most.

Sessions wants to review the already agreed police reforms ordered under Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder.

Sessions also joined up with the Department of Education to remove guidelines protecting transgender students using bathrooms of the gender that they identify with.

This long list of changes, cuts, or eliminations demonstrate a classic Trumpian philosophy. Quite simply, you can’t have any civil rights violations if you don’t have anyone to investigate them.

By making appointments like Scott Pruitt, whose entire political career has been bankrolled by the oil industry, as head of the EPA, Betsy Devos, who thinks you need to arm school teachers because of… bears (?) as head of the Education Department, and Jeff Sessions, who doesn’t believe in justice, as head of the Justice Department, Trump wants to basically make the federal government useless.

These kinds of appointments exist at every level, too. The acting head of the civil rights office of the Department of Education is a woman named Candice E. Jackson. Jackson has railed against affirmative action and claims that specific initiatives taken up to make student bodies more diverse don’t take into account, “the very real prices paid by individual people who end up injured by affirmative action.”

It’s an entire cabinet made up of incompetent, rich, old, racist white people, but that’s what y’all voted for.

If these cuts do happen and this budget is passed, the most vulnerable people in the country will be hurt the most.

To Trump, these civil rights protections are the kind of bad, wasteful programs that must be eliminated so we can slash taxes on millionaires and billionaires and boost our military to continue the never-ending war on terror and bomb civilians in the Middle East.

Steve Bannon, the devil on Trump’s shoulder, anti-semite, wife beater, alcoholic, and architect of Trump’s most draconian ideas, said back in February that all the administrative appointments were aimed at the “deconstruction of the administrative state,” so it’s not like they didn’t tell us what they were going to do.

But the Trump administration maintains they give a shit about anyone outside the 1%.

The Post quotes White House spokeswoman Kelly Love saying in a statement,

“The Trump administration has an unwavering commitment to the civil rights of all Americans.”

Lol.

As all things with the Trump administration, these cuts are all more actively evil under a microscope.

Amidst the utter insanity of the Russia investigation, Trump’s weird treatment of our closest allies, sudden embrace of Saudi Kings, and unhinged tweetstorms, there is real damage being done and important initiatives being undone in order to remove civil rights protections for the most vulnerable people in our crumbling republic.

All in the name of cutting taxes for the wealthy.

But what is really good with the MTA? An investigation

On Monday, the New York Daily News published a report covering internal strife at the MTA over the disastrous state of the organization and the service it (supposedly) provides.

The article, “MTA ignoring ‘abysmal’ on-time performance of subway trains”, claimed that leadership at the MTA is just straight up not worried about arrival times and the MTA is now divided into two camps, “one saying service has to be evened out for passengers’ benefit, the other saying on-time performance would cut down on riders’ waiting time.”

From the Daily News,

“’They’re not that worried about service,’ a source familiar with the internal report said of agency brass. ‘They just think that it’s not really that bad. They’ve convinced themselves they don’t need to worry about abysmal on-time performance.’”

https://twitter.com/jonathenmunoz/status/866643411507580928

According to the report, the powers that be at the MTA are more worried about ‘spacing out the trains’ in an efficient manner. Yes, the main priority of the MTA is spacing out trains… as opposed to travel time.

Again, from the Daily News,

“While on-time performance takes a backseat to trying to evenly space trains to close gaps, riders frequently will be told there’s ‘train traffic ahead’ — a brushoff that can mean anything from a delay due to a sick passenger or a signal problem a borough away that’s rippling through the system. The amorphous phrase delivers practically no information, leaving already unimpressed riders more steamed and bewildered.”

Any NYC resident knows that harrowing phrase “train traffic ahead”, which is truly the worst possible thing to hear on the morning commute. As for the MTA’s philosophy to “evenly space trains to close gaps” there’s nothing about this idea that makes sense. They’ve been actively spacing out these trains and train performance is just getting worse.

Instead of looking at the faltering system and concluding “wow we need to work on arrival time” like normal people, the MTA allegedly wants to eliminate arrival time as a statistic altogether.

“MTA officials actually have a ‘high level of interest’ in simply eliminating ‘on-time performance’ from the public operation reports they release every month.”

This is total insanity. The MTA has looked at the growing pile of problems their system faces and decided that on-time performance should be scrapped as a tracking statistic.

If it’s not ignorance, it’s a downright malicious attempt at hiding information from the public about how shitty their system has become.

Of course the MTA faces a ridiculous (growing) list of issues that the Daily News documents,

“Aging cars and track equipment, new cars that struggle to perform as well as well as older ones, and an ancient signaling system, with parts dating back to Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency.”

Franklin Rosevelt’s presidency. Man what.

According to those that know what’s good (not people at the MTA) the signaling system is really at the heart of the issue. The New York Times published a story earlier this month addressing this signaling system.

It doesn’t look good.

From the Times,

“The signal system is the hidden, unglamorous backbone of the subway, controlling when trains can move down the tracks. But it is so outdated that it cannot identify precisely where trains are, requiring more room between them. And when it fails, trains stop, delays pile up and riders fume.”

According to the Times, the MTA began the process of revamping the archaic signal system twenty years ago and has finished work on ONE line. As the Times points out, this is not an ideal pace, “At the current pace, transforming every subway line could take half a century and cost $20 billion.”

It’s almost comical how bad the trains are in the second biggest city in the world and an institution in the MTA that makes a reported $14.6 BILLION in revenue every year.

Go to any other developed country in the world, public transit functions seamlessly, runs on time (there’s even a schedule!), and provides passengers with real information if there are any delays.

I’ve lost hope of ever having a good commute ever again. Just this morning, the F train I take every day (with usual delays and random mid-tunnel stops) was simply “not working”. No explanation, no solution, no nothing.

That the New York City subway system is so awful is a stain on the city, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and all the lawmakers in Albany and a complete failure of state and city legislature to provide taxpayers with the best service possible.

https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/865668537683030016

Combined with the fact that the MTA continues to raise fares, shit is downright criminal. The entire performance of this great city relies on the basic functionality of a subway system, people can’t afford to just not have working trains.

As the MTA is controlled by New York politicians, there’s undoubtedly some sort of paper trail to private contracts and corruption at the center of this whole thing. Am I accusing unknown politicians of broad corruption without proof and linking to an article from 2004 as evidence? Yes, yes I am.

https://twitter.com/BenDWalsh/status/867123487873388546

If city and state politicians don’t intervene and completely revamp the MTA’s structures, the system will only continue to crumble like the rest of this once great empire.

I don’t hold out much hope, though, as Cuomo and co. are offering $1 million to anyone who can solve the problems facing the MTA, which is probably not a great sign.

If you’re a New Yorker with a vested interest in working trains, keep it locked. We’ll keep the MTA updates coming.

To all the dudes wearing male rompers this summer, it’s quiet for you

Let me just start off by saying I am by no means telling anyone how to live their life.

But if you a dude wearing a male romper I deadass can’t ever fuck with you. Let me explain.

By picking out your favorite color, entering your payment information and actually copping that shit, I’ve already learned enough about you. First of all you’re easily persuaded into the trends and you was also most likely was rocking a choker at some point, too.

Second, you probably not wearing any underwear right now and THAT’S CRAZY.

But most importantly by choosing this outfit you’re making a statement. You’re telling the world you only tryna chill and go to brunch all day instead of making these moves.

If you were really about this grind life, you’d probably be wearing Timbs, even in the summer. Something that says you ready for any situation and can handle adversity.

Twitter

These male rompers are not the uniform of a working man. Definitely a thotty man though. If you’re wearing this shit, you’re pretty much saying you just here to f*ck around indefinitely.

If you’ve made it (or were born in it) to the point where you can afford that comfort then good for you. But if you’re wild complacent in your life and wearing this romper shit, that’s the type of energy I just can’t be around.

The truth is if you were really trying to get to this bread, you’d wear more clothing that reflects it. Look how my dudes out in Silicon Valley who are really getting this bread dress up!

My dude Zuckerberg is really out here in only in the hoodie touching these b-racks.

Do you think you’d ever really catch this man in a romper? Hell no.

What about when Steve Jobs came up with the first iPhone at Apple? Do you think his nuts was just all hanging out the romper catching that breeze? Nah my man was in a straight turtle neck stressin’. Shout out Steve Jobs tho.

The truth is this is the internet’s fault and the fact that a lot of dudes are turning into h-h-hoes. I can’t believe they really calling this shit “romphims” too! SMH. You already know Mero been roasting this shit crazy on Twitter, then roasted that shit on the show too.

Look fellas, there’s no reason why any dude besides Steve Irwin (RIP) should be wearing a romper. Unless you out here in the land down under, tryna scrap with alligators and shit, you don’t need to do this to yourself.

There’s no way you’re tryna show pics of you and your friends to your kids one day and make them realize something terrible: their daddy was a thot.

To sum it up best, the great philosopher 2 Chainz once said,

You a bitch, you a ho, that’s just my philosophy

He was definitely talking about dudes wearing rompers.

The 13 worst things to do in New York when you’re dumb smacked

There’s a lot of things that can blow your high but if you live in New York City, then you truly know this better than anybody else.

It seems that getting dumb smacked is the only solution to a lot of the petty shit that goes on in the city but there are just some extra situations New Yorkers find themselves in that nobody else in the country has to deal with.

Let’s just say the city isn’t exactly optimized for stoners to and more times than not you’re gonna see (or smell) some shit that’ll sober you up real quick.

But sometimes when you’re just a little extra smiz, some things that are deadass unbearable. From the overcrowding literally everywhere, to unsafe smoking conditions, there are literally countless reasons why New York is the worst place to be smacked.


Being stuck on a packed ass train with a broken AC

The train is already so damn hot boy but when you hit the trifecta of being on a cart that’s shoulder to shoulder standing room, hot as shit and delayed as a motherfucker, not even being fresh off that loud pack could save you.

Add in terrible scents and wild crackheads tryna come up and you’ll wish you weren’t so damn high right now.


Making eye contact with the homeless dude

You can never really zone out when you’re in the city (keep ya head on a swivel), but making eye contact with the wrong person including homeless dudes who are ready to scrap if you don’t give them money is one of the worst things to happen when you’re high as shit.

These dudes are hustlers and know the game when it comes to panhandling. They’ll also give you the hands if they feel you’ve disrespected them.


Accidentally dapping up a guy trying to sell you his mixtape

You never know when they might strike but these dudes are looking to come up on tourists and people that are too damn blazed to make quick decisions.

More times than not, the CD is a blank and you sick. They’re gonna try to act like they’re your homies and sell you the dream but they’re all full of shit. They also probably sell weed too though.


Getting on a Citi Bike

Biking in the city is already very risky but doing it when you’re chopped is downright dangerous. Luckily when you’re high you’ll be more cautious but you might just increase your chances of getting into a fight with someone trying to rush past you.


Going to a Broadway play like Cats or some shit

This actually happened to me (against my will) and it was a straight up traumatic experience. First of all, watching a musical when you’re high is just one of the strangest things ever. The costumes, the lights, the crowded ass theater. FOH with this shit.

Then you start thinking about crazy shit like what if someone walked into this theater and tried to start poppin’ off. You start making the exit strategy in your head, how you’d save certain people and disarm the bad guy. God damn I’m smacked.

A musical like The Lion King on the other hand would be stupid lit.


Trying to smoke a blunt in Central Park

If you want to talk about hot boy situations, it doesn’t get any more risky than trying to light one up in Central Park. There’s literally tourists, cops and park rangers everywhere looking to shame anyone smoking weed.

In all reality, Central Park might be the greatest place to get blazed in the world but make no mistake about it, there is also a precinct there as well and that’s where your ass is gonna end up if you get caught boy!


Smelling Chinatown in the summer time

Chinatown is always risky no matter what time of the year it is.

But if for some reason you find yourself down there when you’re blazed in the summer, you might smell some things that you’ll never be able to forget.

It’s like a combination of a fish market, barf, hot piss and the NYC sewage system. The dumplings down there are fire though.


Going out in Murray Hill

You remember those little sardines from Spongebob that used to squad up in mass amounts and be mad annoying?

It’s just like that in Murray Hill, but with a bunch of kids who just moved to the city from Penn State and Cuse.


Going to Times Square at any time of the day

Literally the worst place in the world. Every New Yorker knows that.

Trying to smoke a blunt in Times Square is pretty much a death sentence and I’m pretty sure you’d get gunned down in the street by a cop or some shit.

Long story short there’s absolutely no reason anyone should go to Times Square ever.


Going to dinner at a bougie Upper East Side restaurant

There’s nothing worse than eating a romantic, close ass dinner with your boys after you both just faced a pack to the face.

There’s something about the spots in the UES that are just not stoner friendly.

Maybe it’s all the children, families and white people but all you have to do is go uptown 30 blocks and you can find a serious chopped cheese.


A European ass tourist asking you for directions

Bruh, what? It’s called Google Maps! This isn’t all bad though. If you’re blazed enough and have nothing better to do, it’s cool to give them completely wrong directions and have that piece of mind knowing you gave a tourist a real NYC experience.



Being in Penn Station lets out during a Rangers game

Being anywhere near 34th or 42nd street is a pain in the ass to begin with but when you’re a smacked boy, you truly will feel overwhelmed.

That many basic ass people in one area is almost too much for someone to deal with!

We’re talking about some of the corniest people you never knew existed, all making the place mad crowded and walking dumb slow. When you’re high, you will feel that claustrophobia kick in and you may feel the urge to just start swinging.



Going to a bodega that doesn’t sell Backwoods

The same goes for dutches. It’s a New York City staple to make sure there are the right rolling papers for the city’s inhabitants. There are no dispensaries out here, the least they can do is have the right roll up!

Not having backwoods is like not selling chopped cheese. A lot of bodegas actually don’t have them but they motherfucking should. It’s truly a slap in the face to not have either.
