up camping in the hudson highlands, the bike trail i took to get here has a lot of at-grade road crossings and so many drivers refused to yield as i attempted to cross, even if the opposite direction driver was stopped. wishing you all a very merry get-walloped-by-a-freight-train

Worked with City of Vancouver on several projects in the last 12 years or so. Amazing staff who are always out just a bit ahead of a council that itself just keeps trending more and more progressive. (I’m here at the same conference too!) Will have to come up and do a video at some point

the big glass display screen that nonsensically changes color three times before it finally tells you whether the card was accepted, declined, reader error, etc once again - did they never consider consulting ACTUAL TRANSIT RIDERS? Even if not, are you still ignoring feedback from your “customers”?

OMNY is supposed to email you when your card balance is running low (it used to!) so you don’t get stopped by surprise and miss a train furthermore, the big glass display screen at the turnstile should be telling you the balance each time you tap!

This is why I'm so in favor of accessory commercial units. Just getting people in the US used to **walking** for a cup of coffee or a sandwich in the neighborhood may finally do something to rid Americans of our terminal car brain.

#TodayInHistory: 🎬 #OnThisDay 52 years ago, the film “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” opened in theaters. Now heralded as a classic, the 1974 action crime caper flick is the original film by this name. It was also remade in 1998 for TV and as a major motion picture in 2009.“

that is, if the NIMBYs don’t just kill this on the vine, which also seems like a very likely outcome

Mamdani is not going to be mayor when it’s time to tear down this bad idea, and it seems likely it will just stay up forever under the very same “we can’t get rid of it, we need it!” mentality that is keeping the current structure propped up

I'm so tired of everything about renting that I think I might scream and i am firmly of a generation in which there is essentially no way that we will ever own homes without losing someone we love and honestly, I think it's starting to get to me.

today I looked up something on IMDB using the computer at work, which is not connected to my personal email account. Somehow IMDB automatically signed up my personal email for an account at that exact time!

we grew up camping at salt creek park and my mom made peach surprise dessert one year — we turned our backs for just a moment, only to find a family of raccoons had polished off the entire thing in record time! probably the best meal of their lives

@tsch.uy's "Bikes on Amtrak" map is by far the best way to look at Amtrak routes, whether you care about bikes or not. It's so good. Absolutely filled a need for me while planning bike-based transit trekking and a huge help to visualize the mainline routes and connections. 😍 bikesonamtrak.com

please forgive, I forgot alt text. Two extremely vibrant sunsets as viewed from an urban park. Playground with rippling red/pink/purple cloudy sky above, and similar view but orange/yellow/blue as viewed from a brick-paved pedestrian bridge, with a forested hillside & 150-year-old ornate water tower

theodora augusta @ghostatnumber1.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
iphone camera bad but this sunset looked otherworldly, or maybe like something from the end of the world. A nor’easter is bearing down on us, so maybe it actually is

and it all just got routed to his cellphone so maybe IRS is similar and it’s their phones/system that’s crappy?

theodora augusta @ghostatnumber1.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
i started to believe it was my fault and that my cell was dropping calls because i live on a low floor with my only window being the small interior courtyard of a brick building, but I guess not, wow. Maybe they’re using their cell phones? I had a roommate 6 years ago who got a call center WFH job

this happened to me SO MANY times last year when they held my returns for a full year (despite my filing WAY early). I eventually gave up, and the check did show up finally, but IRS is the most maddening I have ever had the misfortune to deal with! Honestly glad to hear dropped call wasn't my fault

My OP was unclear, there is curated-highlights release (11 trax on 4LP/3CD/digital), but I'm talking about getting access to the full contents of the original tapes (~130 trax), which is apparently only possible through this gilded monstrosity. Very interested in studying, but totally out of $reach

infuriatingly absurd way to make this available. 750 copies only, $500 ultra deluxe version as the only way to access the complete collection. someone better torrent the hell out of this in the name of scholarship or verve needs to come to senses & release standalone digital

The distracted driving discourse is already popping off but I’d just like to throw in: I’ve been an insurance adjuster for almost 13 years. When I started, we almost never saw high speed rear end impacts. Now they’re like the most common type of claim. It’s distractions, this is obvious.

and, of course, a disgusting display of opulence: this is where all the money went this is why you can’t afford necessities the Very Important Feelings About Low Taxation sequestered behind these gated driveways & high walls are paramount to your meager life & must always be coddled as such

didn’t really catch anything worth keeping but it was a novel and informative experience for me. Also my first time being out that far on Long Island - really beautiful out there, loved the forested backroads and wetlands and shores, though I feel the whole Hamptons™️ Thing is overrated & quite silly
