Where you'll see a rare bird. Thanks to @ryanfm.bsky.social's newsletter for teaching me about the Cabanis's ground-sparrow that lives behind the walmart
An 8 panel comic. The first three panels are labeled "Where you think you'll see a rare bird." Panel 1 is labeled "Lush forest" and shows a beautiful rich forest with tall conifers, a waterfall, and mountains. Panel 2 is labeled "Perfect sunlit branch" and shows a branch rising above the trees, shaped like a great bird perch. Panel 3 is labeled "Area near an informational plaque about a rare bird" and shows a forest with a sign in front displaying an image of a Spruce Grouse and informational text. The next set of images are labeled "Where you'll actually see a rare bird". They include "Tree behind a Walmart", with Cabanis's ground-sparrow singing in a tree, "Skating rink parking lot" with a Lewis's woodpecker climbing a palm, "Spooky cemetery" with a Vermillion Flycatcher standing on a gravestone in a foggy spooky cemetery, "Sewage treatment plant" with a tufted duck gliding through the water, "Flying over your car" with a golden eagle sailing above a red car that's driving down the highway, and "Text from Uncle Ron" with a text exchange in which Ron says "Weird bird landed in my yard" and sends a picture of a whooping crane, to which you reply "Wow! Is it still there???" and he says "no".

Off on an overnight adventure to check out some of the Bay Area's rarer night transit – but first have to get there! We're starting in the North Bay, so what better way to go than @sfbayferry.com ?

people who don't own a car/can't drive should have access to nature & outdoorsy activities. it shouldn't just be a luxury for drivers. metro vancouver gets it - there's plenty all-day bus routes every 15-30 minutes that connect people to nature, like the one we took!

every time I get off the train in redwood city to bike to the after school music program I've worked at for nearly 4 years, I'm reminded that the very parents whose kids I teach would hold so much contempt for me if I was just a stranger on a bike.
Unpopular opinion but I hate bike lanes and I hate sharing a road with bikers. They’re a menace out here in CA. It’s not transport here, it’s exercise. Do that shit in the gym not in my way.my bike on caltrainapartments in suburban redwood city

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Yes this is somehow real. The BART fare gates went down because Cubic failed to pay the AT&T bill. They had another Clipper outage last month because they let the disk fill up on the database server Just absolute clownshow stuff
Outage Summary
2 | Confidential & Proprietary
May 3 rd Major Incident
• All sales channels were impacted, preventing patrons from completing transactions
• Order Management System database archive space exhaustion caused system instability and failure across sales channels
• Capacity was increased; old archive logs were cleared and performed rolling restart of the order management system nodes
May 18th Major Incident
• BART Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) and fare gates (Tri -reader 4) at BART stations were unable to connect to the back office
• During troubleshooting, circuit issue was identified as non -technical and related to billing
• After account billing resolution, AT&T restored the network circuit, re - establishing connectivity and enabling all BART TVMs and fare gates to
resume normal operation
Fulfilment Delay
• A bug was discovered in the NextFare Central System whereby fulfilment of large order batches (discount cards and bulk orders ) was not
being processed
• Initial triage showed that this required smaller batches of orders to be processed using a script. This was fully resolved an d orders fulfilled
• The initial workaround around script inadvertently issued cards as Adult instead of discount cards. The script was corrected and all cards
updated in Backoffice
• Permanent fix is planned for roll - out as part of BackOffice build on 5/31
Reports (Settlement)
• Starting on May 8 th an issue with data feeds into operational datastore affected reports. The daily settlement report CA650 was affected
• Although this did not affect settlement and deposit into operator bank account, it did affect reconciliation
• The data feed issue was resolved and reports rerun for prior days

GTFS realtime arrivals have been missing for (at least) Muni and AC Transit since Wednesday. I've only seen one other post about it, from someone reporting the same issue: groups.google.com/g/511sfbayde... Does anybody know more?
Transit App screenshot showing stop predictions for the Muni 5R bus. The arrival countdowns (7 minutes, 15 minutes, 23 minutes) are marked as "SCHEDULED," indicating that real-time predictions are not available.
