Steinway Subway Station

So I got 2 questions
Firstly, does anyone know of any updates on the subway station entrances?
At first i thought they were doing an elevator on one entrance and escalators on the other, but then i heard they’re doing elevators for both!?? Which makes it worse because i understand the accessibility aspect of it but one elevator would certainly suffice. Anyway, i keep seeing them updating the signage every month and delaying it further, like they will put up a sign saying “construction through March 2026” then march ends and they replace it with “construction through April 2026”, and it goes onnnn which defeats the whooole purpose. So Anyone know when this shit show is gonna possibly end??

Secondly, have others noticed how shitty the train has been since the F/M swap?? Cant just be me, cause now its sooo much more slower and inefficient. I used to take the M straight to work in 20 mins now i have to transfer and it over doubled my commute time also because of how slow its been. MTA just inconveniencing us once again

What is with the crappy broken Arabic on s4??!

So i started watching veronica mars and binge watched the first 3 seasons- instantly loved it and became a huge fan! However, I am on ep 3 of season 4 now and I just need to talk about the horrribllllllle Arab representation here.
I am Arab and speak fluent Arabic so i instantly realized that the “Arab” characters were speaking Arabic as if they learned it a few hours before shooting. It’s such a THICK accent and just awfuuul pronunciation that I could barely comprehend it myself and I had to read the subtitles !! They were literally even struggling to get the words out, it made my skin crawl.
Idk if any other Arabic speaking person is on here but i couldn’t help but point it out, i am actually offended that they couldn’t put in some effort of actually finding someone that could genuinely speak Arabic. Like what’s the point of having an “Arab family” that can’t speak Arabic!!?
