Hi @alonlevy.bsky.social I was told to tell you about the great transit loving YIMBY mayor that Moshe Lion is apparently styling himself as (beginning of an interview with religious Zionist magazine)

@nilo.bsky.social @alonlevy.bsky.social How is the 5.6 billion price tag to automate WMATA not like 50 times as expensive as it should actually be?

About 130,000 Igloo coolers were recalled on Thursday after consumers reported 78 fingertip injuries from the cooler’s tow handle, 26 of which led to fingertip amputations, bone fractures or cuts, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

How much new track if any would be needed for a balancing move where they eg run one fewer train an hour on Yellow and Green and add a few new Orange/Silver trains via Arlington Cemetery -> Pentagon -> Yellow Line Bridge -> wherever

Okay @alonlevy.bsky.social please write a post praising the great president Trump for getting WMATA system daily ridership over a million for the first time since March 2020

@nilo.bsky.social @alonlevy.bsky.social if you could somehow get another line built in WMATA what would be its route

There's a lot of confusion swirling so it may help to explain that the below is actually fairly normal following an ICE arrest. ICE often transfers people to the deep South where some of the largest detention centers are located, and the ICE Detainee Locator system can take up to 24 hours to update.

This kind of response still being concerned normal in the BS cocoon is why I’m heading back if the trans oligarch Elon Musk can ever get it up again

If you've been to any zoning, planning, or housing meetings in the last decade it's impossible to avoid the feeling that huge swaths of our society seem to think that other people spawn in like videogame NPCs, and will simply despawn if you move out of some render distance of them

China’s increasingly impressive performance in high tech sectors — batteries, drones, AI — calls into doubt the comforting notion that “good institutions” are the key to economic growth. www.slowboring.com/p/the-mistak...

Erin Burnett is interviewing a young man right now who reported his dad to the FBI for participating in January 6. He says he fears for his life now that Trump is pardoning and commuting, because his dad says he is a traitor and traitors get shot. His mom and sisters are supporting his dad.

What many zoomers do not understand, because they’ve never experienced an actual bad economy or food markets characterized by anything less than extreme choice and diversity, is that being able to rotate cuisines nightly is a ludicrous modern luxury inconceivable for many Americans even 20 years ago

the idea that starbucks swept through america, closing down all the amazing artisanal coffee shops of yore, is so dumb I can't even put it into words. what it did is popularize a certain kind of food establishment and then tons of smaller, better places cashed in on that by opening in its wake

Zoomers basically have no memory of a time when coffee was just a thing you got at the office from the communal drip pot, something you bought for less than a dollar at a gas station, or a throw-in with a breakfast combo at Denny's.
