Analysis | The entire coal industry employs fewer people than Arby’s Coal helps significantly fewer U.S. workers get jobs than Donald Trump would have you believe.

Silicon Valley's Push Into Transportation Has Been a Miserable Failure The titans of tech brought plenty of disruption to our broken transportation system but delivered little in the way of innovation.

β€œElon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announcedβ€”even though he had no intention of pursuing itβ€”was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” β€” @parismarx.com in @gizmodo.com

He’s always been this way.

Cabin Radio granted licence to broadcast on FM in Yellowknife After a six-year saga, federal regulator the CRTC announced it had agreed to let Cabin Radio broadcast on 93.9 FM in Yellowknife.

It has taken way too long to get here, but the best news source in Northern Canada now has a broadcast licence. Way to go @ollienwt.bsky.social and team.
