United Airlines can now ban passengers who don't wear headphones United Airlines added a new rule that could ban passengers who don't use headphones when listening to audio on their devices.

Now do the bus www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

Scream some more, when you’re sent to prison. Oh yeah, that’ll never happen

I love that people are just discovering this. Makes me feel old af, but nonetheless

I will never get over just how much this country has wasted on stupid wars in my lifetime. Iraq cost like $2 *trillion*.

Pretty thin comparison. CAHSR is far from going bust

Oh, you done fucked up Donnie

What sunrise?

The plan was always to have express, limited and local services (?)

Oh, Israelis, it turns out. Kind of tired of doing their government’s dirty work

Made the mistake of going on Reddit, where ppl told me the US just *had* to do this war. MAGA? Actual Iranians? Russian bots? Hard to say. I will say that the US started this in 1953. But Trump didn’t have to continue it

Ridership? Not much of a factor

The concern is that an SF-only project couldn’t get funded

It’s interesting how often “no wall on the waterfront” has meant preserving a parking lot or some tennis courts

Idk, just read that Tokaido Shinkansen canceled food service. This feels inevitable

Proposed waterfront tower could test California’s power to override S.F. height restrictions A San Francisco high-rise four blocks north of Oracle Park would stand 23 stories, more than twice the current limit allowed by the city.

Uh, isn’t the building right next door 22 stories? Barely any less “on the waterfront.” Also right next to the Bay Bridge and One Rincon Hill on the other side. All of which you can see in the rendering! www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/t...

Boo to this. Can we at least get a cart

CHSRA has gotten so much smarter in the past couple years. I wonder why

A powerful Wine Country family is trying to kill the SMART train with a book This book makes the case that taxpayer support should end for a 48-mile long passenger rail system connecting the Bay Area’s fifth largest city with small cities and towns across two counties.

I for one support rich idiots setting their money on fire www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

A drone hit the Burj Al Arab. The other thing Americans don’t understand is internal politics w/in the Middle East. We have no idea what we’re getting into here. Trump certainly doesn’t

I don’t think most Americans understand just how weird stuff is going to get if the Strait of Hormuz, Dubai Airport and the Red Sea are all unavailable or unreliable for global commerce. The Middle East is a massive crossroads

I mean, this is basically what they do on the southern lines now by calling out OAK

AFAIK Obama hasn’t released a statement yet, but here’s what I’ll say: The Obama deal was working, and Trump pulled out of it bc he didn’t like Obama. So anything bad that happens from this point forward (or already? 40 dead kids?) is bc of, well, that

Trump says he's not mulling a draft executive order to seize control over elections. Here’s what we know The 17-page proposal, a working document reviewed in full by PBS News, would give him extraordinary power over the 2026 midterm elections.

As I was saying www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Spoiler alert

Also check out the, like, 20 episodes the Rest Is History podcast have done on the rise of the Nazis. You may not think Republicans are fascists in the classic sense ... but if you don't think Trump would just *love* to cancel elections, you don't know your history

YouTube video by Johnny Harris Is Fascism Back?

I've been listening to, watching and reading a lot lately about the rise of Nazism and fascism, and the thing that strikes me is the boiling frog quality of it all -- how they creep up on you. MAGA may not be fascist yet, but they're clearly on that path www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV8K...

Watch, they’re going to give NoHo-Pasadena “BRT” a letter designation

As a former resident of The Crescent …Koreatown is at one end of the extension

Or maybe just don’t require elevators on every car?

Yeah, the people calling for Ian Choudri’s resignation don’t actually care about that
