Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Liberation Day was more like Liquidation Day as stocks plunged to their worst trading session since 2020.
Then everyone is lining up to buy TikTok, but can a deal get done before the app has to go dark in the U.S.? It's Friday, April 4th. Let's ride.
When all of you come to visit New York next, first of all, say hi to me and Toby. Second of all, you might notice something a little different on the walls of subway stations. The New York City subway got a new map this week, its first redesign in almost 50 years. In many ways, the new map is a throwback to the 1972 Unimark map,
which has a modernist streamlined feel and features as many straight lines as possible. That was replaced in 1979 with Michael Hertz's so-called spaghetti diagram, which has remained in use until this week. Toby, on a scale of Jaguar to HBO Max, how would you rate this redesign?
I think it's very, very understandable, which is the main point here. Because think about a transit map. It has to be available to be seen by people with different levels of vision. It has to be seen by people who have different levels of understanding of what New York City is. It's not just locals taking it. So there's a lot of things to kind of take into account.
And what this map is good at is that it finally gets away from reality a little bit. It's a lot more abstract than the previous more geographically representative map and it prioritizes visual clarity over pure accuracy, which I think is a good thing for a lot of people because the good thing it does too is improve the visibility of transfer points at the busiest hubs. You can clearly see
All right. Union Square's got a lot of stuff going through it. So this is where I have to make my transfer. So I do think that this is not a new debate. I mean, you talked about the 72 map that changed over in 79. So we've been having this geographic versus visually representative debate for a long time now. And now we're swinging back towards, you know, visually representative. And it looks cool.
