I love taking the train between San Diego and Los Angeles since it's such a gorgeous view but there's just no way it'll still exist on the same track a generation from now. www.instagram.com/reels/DeSCAh...

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.

I saw Dr Ralph Stanley in Wabasha about 15 years ago. He played a middle school auditorium. Apparently he played small towns like that all the time. Good dude

The state rail plan is driven by freight rail interests. The SDP has input from advocates but no support from policymakers so it will forever be under development

The Paterson intersection took 59” to cross. I got a walk sign ~30” after calling. Sorry but based on this experience I’d say your Livingston intersection prioritizes cars. I’ll try to ovserve again in the morning

On the way back it took 1’24” to cross the entire intersection. The walk sign call took ~35” but I didn’t have to wait in the median this time

I just crossed this intersection from the Festival Foods corner to the Vintage Brewing corner. The walk sign took ~25” but I had to wait another ~25” in the median, so the entire crossing took over a minute. I’d say that’s too much for an intersection with mid-rise buildings on 3 corners

Looks like holders of Hong Kong passports can enter Guam without a visa. Maybe he either 1. is afraid that creates a security weakness or 2. hates China so much that he doesn’t want even a small fraction of its citizens to enjoy the lush beauty of Guam

actual heathcliff comics @realheathcliffs.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

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)

What Happens When Speed Cameras Get Shut Off
In 2025, Ontario banned automated traffic enforcement. Now the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit has surged, according to traffic data.

Guatemala City is building one that ideally would be any other mode. But the government will never build functional transit and the cable car manufacturer is paying for it so 🤷
