I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

Storms and sunset over Sainte-Colombe, seen from across the Rhône in Vienne.
The footbridge across the Rhône in Vienne, looking west towards the hills behind Ste-Colombe, illuminated at dusk with yellow-tinged lights shining up on the girders, suspended by cables with a stone arch rising in the middle of the river, set against the backdrop of a stormy sunset in hues of pink, red and yellow with layers of grey-blue clouds. The claret-coloured skies reflect off the mildly choppy waters of the river below, here at the northern tip of the Côtes du Rhône wine-making region.

Je voudrais bien savoir à quoi correspond tous les luminaires sur les panneaux. À mes estimations, la partie devant la femme à gauche est la ligne C, et à droite les A + B jusqu'à Part-Dieu, avec les carrés noirs pour l'aiguillage entre les deux aux Charpennes. Mais quelles colonnes Brotteaux et PD?

Ah, well that's a nonsense. I'd been looking at that old footbridge wondering how anybody gets onto it. What a scam, how are people supposed to traverse the town from one side of the railway to the other if they don't have tickets? Are 'platform tickets' still a thing?

Peter R G @peterrg.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Nice photo. Very curious construction in general. The siting to the side of the main line, the need to build that curve at one end, old platforms paved over for car parking but new platforms now built alongside the main line. All quite higgledy-piggledy.

Thanks for posting this. Do you see maps of time/dates/numbers/letters etc. in your mind? I don't have it to quite the degree of clarity as this person, but all my life when I've asked people how they map these things in their heads they just look at me like I've stepped off a spaceship.
