Annotating a long 3+ day loop of #Hurricane #Melissa from Kingston, #Jamaica radar.
2️⃣ periods appear where an eyewall replacement cycle, #ERC, looked underway. In both cases, inner eyewall stayed intact & outer bands merged, resulting in a larger eye & strengthening after.
A remarkable evolution 🌀
Thank you!!
the thing about Ken is that he very clearly hates libs more than he hates fascists
This is not the Cincinnati I want. This is not the Cincinnati any of us should find to be its potential. We must think higher. We must be bolder. This pandoras box is a serious threat to the city's medium and long term future. And it must be stopped and left unopened. Full stop.
It is also obvious to me that this Pandoras box represents a Cincinnati doomed to fights over any change. A Cincinnati doomed to indecision and stasis. A Cincinnati doomed to unbalanced decision making and weight of community input.
My way or no way. A directionless city.
Cincinnati has a fork in the road this year. Do we want to grow or do we want to beleaguer ourselves to death after stagnation? Every development becoming a referendum because people do not want change sets an utterly horrific precedent for our city.
This is a Pandora's box.
🧵Council made the correct decision last month on the Hyde Park Square development. Instead of going to marriage counseling like council suggested or finding compromise, instead HPNC and this org want to blow the entire thing up. Draw it out.
SF NIMBY ideology into Cincinnati.
I finally understand
why bureaucracy is essential:
It takes a just moments to destroy something that took generations to build.
Bureaucracy assures that no one person can make a grievous mistake.
Thanks to @jjunker.bsky.social for inspiring this train of thought today.
Thank you both 🥹

New ep! We return to talking Cincinnati with @jjunker.bsky.social: whether you're a local or not, you have a lot to learn about the municipal railroad sale, 20th century development patterns, and wtf the city is trying with "subway repurposing"

After going quiet on bird flu, CDC scientists have published a report on its spread among veterinarians. The findings suggest a need for better surveillance.

Ridership of the Cincinnati Transit Company from 1946-68, the precursor to SORTA
1946 - 132.7 million revenue passengers
1968 - 27.3 million revenue passengers
Huge service cuts and a doom loop of rising costs and fares put the agency in serious crisis by the late 1960s.

"Streets that are engineered to accommodate two-way traffic, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, and ramps that align with this vision.
Taking these final steps will be instrumental in addressing historic injustices and paving the way for a brighter, more connected future for Cincinnati’s urban core."

Was a good day yesterday
Yeah I don't think their data is publicly available. Public records requesting them is a good way of getting stuff done.
Would be very curious how it's affected ridership especially for TANK
600 vine would look so much better in all glass
