Delays aren't just annoying. They cost money. Every month a project is waiting for feds to sign a grant is a month that the project can't start. That means another month of increasing construction costs, sometimes killing projects. Trump Admin is thus systematically undermining transit projects.

Heathcliff is riding his ham car, a car made out of a giant ham with wheels and a little dome for a windshield. He rides off a cliff and the car transforms, its wheels folding in and some wings folding out, becoming a submarine. He rides through the ocean, seeing a bunch of undersea life, before popping out and transforming the machine back into a car, driving on the beach. A few fishermen watch him drive past, and one says "Amphibious ham."

The Kitty Korner reads "Zach Lewis of Longmont, CO, says that his cat 'Mazy' likes to spin and chase her own tail!"

Speeding is one of the most common contributing factors to fatal crashes. A speed camera ban may be one of the most best things you can do if you want to kill the most people

A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)

In 2025, Ontario banned automated traffic enforcement. Now the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit has surged, according to traffic data.

Heathcliff sits on top of an overturned garbage can at night, with a small fish bowl with a fish inside atop his head. The fish says "Bro". Three aliens, arriving from a nearby flying saucer, look over at Heathcliff with curiosity, and one of the aliens says "Did someone say 'probe'?"

Heathcliff stands smugly with a group of tourists on a boat labeled "BRO FISH WATCH", sailing on the ocean. The crowd looks down at a school of fish jumping up out of the water, each of whom is loudly saying "Bro". I think they're supposed to be taking pictures of the bro fish with their phones but the colorist just made it so they're all holding white rectangles, no idea what that's about. Anyways. The ship captain smiles to his first mate, watching the happy crowd of tourists, and says "I thought he was crazy."
