For some reason, after my machine tries to load the first image in the post, it struggles for a bit, then gives up and shows the alt text. Looking at the response, I see:

"msg": "Too many pixels"
}
Is this a
situation?...oh damn, that's actually a huge image, 8192 × 5464. Maybe it's running into some hardcoded limits that were set after that incident.
Anyway, hell yeah! Not unexpected, but it's good to see such clear results. Also,
There’s also the question of drivers who, looking to dodge the toll, might reroute through Queens or other neighborhoods outside the zone. The MTA has anticipated that and earmarked $100 million to offset potential air quality impacts in those neighborhoods: funding school air filters near highways and swapping out diesel equipment for electric.
Not the way I expected to get cleaner air to protect kids and teachers from forced exposure to
(and other airborne diseases), but I'll take it! That's not to downplay the severe impact of air pollution on health—there's good data on this, and unsurprisingly it disproportionately affects communities of color. Hopefully this can be leveraged to expand the program across the entire city; I'm sure if any researcher takes the opportunity to document this natural experiment, they'll find improvements in absenteeism and academic achievement—and health, obviously, but evidently that's not much of a motivator for people considering that they've been shoving kids into these petri dishes with reckless abandon.
noooo I'm already behind
not sure I'll manage to finish chapter 1 in time, but hopefully I'll be caught up through chapter 2 by the end of next week's thread. I guess ideally I'd be done with chapter 3 in time for week 3's thread, but that seems like wishful thinking (I do hope to eventually be ready with a comment by the beginning of each week). Also chapter 1 is gonna be the longest slog both because I've heard it's difficult and because I'm reading all the (checks) four separate forewords/prefaces/introductions that are in my edition (I'm using the new Reitter translation). So if I can power through this, I can go the distance!
