I know, right? Astonishing

Damn thats crazy, im shocked, im floored, im creaming and crying and rolling around on the ground

Oh my god my 10 is crawling down Pine into downtown but its always like this so we are on schedule 😭

Once we get bus lanes on Denny we need FixTheL3/10/11/12/49

and maybe doing more than holding their hand should be their goal

"you are saying people need to be viglant? Wow, its crazy how people are so passively ableist by assuming everyone has eyes"

I hate these people so much, we are facing literal federal secret police who are disappearing people, we can't be playing with kiddie gloves.

Use whistles, alert neighbors

The Culkin out here putting marbles under the twin towers

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Yeah, its gotta be really funny to watch from the outside tho

Watching LA politics from Seattle must be like watching the Trump admin from China

If someone on your Signal groupchat offers to provide guns and explosives, make sure to ask if their field office has budget for handwarmers and emergency blankets instead of fake C4.

Then kick them off.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Free with purchase, while supplies last: whistles.

On a key chain, so you’ll always have it with you. In case you suddenly need it.

Perhaps you’ll be coaching youth sports. Or directing traffic. I’m sure there are other reasons.

They’re pretty loud!

That's with current infrastructure, I want to speed them up so you can get 12 minute service on 4 vehicles

What are the most critical intersections in your experience? the ones that cause the most delay

MARCH 28, 2026!!!!!!!

Ive said this before and I'll say this again; the crosslake connection will be one of the most transformative single openings of our lifetimes.

Only Supulveda has two larger population centers so tenuously connected

Is she just trying to aura farm so she can run in 2028?

It uses the same platform (INIT) Trimet down in Portland uses which has tap to pay

I believe it is only opening tap to pay as an option, though I would be shocked if basic features like transfers arent included

I think thats true and I think the underrepresentation of democrats compared to republicans is influenced to some extent by the fact that young people are much less likely to identify as democrats (though I think the majority is just apolitical chuds)

My best guess is that my source was coming from a 2015ish trolleybus expansion report for KCM and back then gas was cheaper

Yeah, i noticed, thats interesting but unsurprising. Ive seen data before that suggests the opposite (and the argument was that the slight increase in cost per hour was balanced by the longer life of TBs). I wonder what the presuppositions those were operating under
