Table For One Please.

The sheer amount of Pokémon streamers who are not only familiar with, but abhor the existence of anti-homeless benches gives me so much hope for the future

Redditors who delete their posts once the votes go negative are weak af

I don’t care if my post about how high the poverty line has become goes -200, I won’t apologize for speaking the truth. Meanwhile you whimper when you’re rightly called out for thinking LA is denser than NYC

From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

I may have found my defining quote.

Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

Thank you for remaining steadfast on this issue. I know this isn’t as big of a priority for the people of our district compared to other issues but it’s a relief to know you’re willing to go against the grain even if there will be serious resistance from very powerful people.

Avelia Liberty this, Acela that

If they don’t have these things, I’m not interested

A screenshot of a New York Times article, reading: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, received the backing of significant party figures this week as Democrats grow increasingly concerned about President Trump’s effort to meddle in the race.

Frickin finally

A screenshot from the San Francisco Chronicle, the headline reading “This 30-year Bay Area project is almost completed. Will it ease traffic?”

When will we learn that the answer will be and always will be no.

A bus from the Santa Clara Valley Transport Authority (i.e. Silicon Valley). The bus wrap indicates that it is a Route 60 Airport Flyer bus meant to accommodate travelers with luggage, but the digital signage indicates that it is running Route 20 from Sunnyvale to Milpitas.

Spotted in downtown Sunnyvale.

Poor Airport Flyer seems to be a little lost

God bless the drivers who kneel the bus for people with luggage

Got notified about an open BMR in Sunnyvale

Rent was +$1500

Double checked the income limit for 1 person and it looks like it went up in recent years. I’m too poor to afford affordable housing 🙃

ngl I thought I was late in searching for masters programs for Spring 2026

Turns out the place I visited today are still accepting applications for Fall 2025. Definitely not trying to get in THAT soon but now I feel better looking at other places

A Waymo was blocking the tracks at a grade crossing at Bayshore/NASA

I’m a big fan of downtown Mountain View 👌🏼

Great place to hang out and watch both Caltrain and VTA with some goodies from the nearby bakeries

In 2011, a stretch of I-195 that ran right through the heart of Providence was demolished, freeing up 26-acres of Downtown adjacent land for new housing and an innovation district, reconnecting neighborhoods divided by the highways construction.

📍 Providence, RI

So I’m back in Mountain View after my trip to Chicago/DC

Apparently one of the french patisseries burnt down?????

The world may be falling apart, but at least VTA put this bench at my bus stop so I can hold my head in my hands while I wait for my bus to my inevitably expiring contract job

After my last trip to Chicago/DC, since I already had a card binder thanks to yugioh, I figured I’d start a fare card collection

Where should I go next?

Okay what was Murphy smoking when he bragged about NJ Transit being the “first” to get self-propulsion double decker EMUs

It’s not just Caltrain, they have them here in Chicago, too

Currently on the Orange Line on the Chicago L

Man I forgot how good it feels to be away from the Al ads

I felt it all the way down in Sunnyvale

Yeah, that was an earthquake

The bus drivers’ strike won’t keep me from my weekly visit to MV downtown.

I’ve been sitting here before the long walk back and the families here are just as lively as ever. Really makes me think about what my life would have been like if my family had a place like this when I was still growing

I’m so sorry that there’s no VTA transit service again today. I especially feel for everyone that has to walk in the rain.

You all deserve so much better, and I hope there’s a resolution as soon 🙏

Billboard that says have a super Mar 10. The background is from the Mario Brothers game.

At the end of the day, nothing beats the 55 bus 🚌

Though i was being clever walking half a mile to get into the Peery Park Rides zone

The increased frequency on weekends has been a significant boon. I find myself going up and down the peninsula more often now that I don’t have to wait as long for a train

Cisco Webex and Zoom couldn’t be happier
