Two of the local political candidates have lost my vote entirely by sending me too much junk mail and sms spam. Like I legit don’t care what they have to say.

Commuter rail operator: we’re cancelling trains between 9am and 3pm to accommodate rail repairs My 8am train: we’re stopping for an unknown amount of time to allow a crew working on the rail repairs to get off the tracks Me: *confusion*

This area is indeed a clusterfuck of road design, but also, "One more lane, bro." I just think it's interesting that stories like this never include any mention of a real intervention to reduce congestion: Reducing the number of cars on the road.
The plan includes adding a fifth lane on Interstate 95 northbound between I-93 and the Route 28 northbound offramp and adding a fourth lane between Route 28 and North Avenue.

Transportation officials said the goal is to improve traffic flow and reduce backups in one of the region’s most congested corridors.

I get that the Super Bowl is usually held in a warmer climate because no one gets a particular advantage from it. But I think the game would be infinitely more interesting if it was always held in Minnesota. 🧣💨❄️

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Cars cross through our cities, towns, and neighborhoods without end, but motorists get angry and impatient when people need to cross their streets. Motor-normality has skewed the way people view our built environment, creating arrogance of flow for cars, and dangerous barriers for people.

My favorite transportation mechanic is when you’re in a major city and all modes of transport have to stop while a bridge raises so some dude can bring his non commercial boat under it at rush hour.

Thinking back to when being "online" was a choice you could make. Is the modern equivalent shutting off all your devices? We still had mobile phones and SMS during the time period I'm thinking of, so I'm not sure that's quite right.

Commuter rail is not running trains for four hours during the weekdays to accommodate construction. My alternative is to take a local bus that makes 110 local stops on its way to the subway, and then get on a subway train that moves approximately 3mph.
