It would be nice for him to resign, but when has Hartford's electeds chosen dignity over obtuseness?

But going from no snow to a dusting to 3-6” after getting the high end of the past forecasted system and all in a weekend has me irked.

I’m going to give the local weather folks the benefit of the doubt for the snow being more than originally forecasted this week but I need y’all to work harder to compensate for the reduction of federal meteorological services.

Trying to work backwards to figure out how pissed off to be at current electeds is exhausting but I want to level my shit for the future.

Thank God for the Dab and other shoulder focused dances. My knees and other joints are paying for all them lor dances we did growing up. When its time for the youth to have their lor functions they gonna be mad with Unc killing them with the shoulders.

Anyone have any recommendations for a therapist that is licensed in CT? Looking for someone Black preferably but open to anyone that can understand a Black Man. #blacktherapists #blackmentalhealth

I am pessimistic about 2026 so far, and the 2016 to 2026 analogies are not helping. But trying to find the glass half full in shit or whatever, I can say that my 2016 playlists are still great and maybe better when the context of a decade is added.

Between the shooting on Albany Ave and the construction on Scarborough/Whitney, traffic this evening in Hartford was a different version of hellish tonight.

Who is interested in car-free living in the US? Findings from a nationwide survey The United States (US) is infamously car dependent, causing environmental, safety, and social problems. Car-free living is one way to combat the downs…

If only Connecticut actually understood that TOD and increased zoning would help our already dense state. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I wish that the city's redevelopment plans for commercial corridors took transit more seriously…we need bus lanes, real ones, especially along our region's main bus corridors.

From your post to the Governor and General Assembly’s ears.

More Buses to the Berkshires Coming In 2026 - Streetsblog Massachusetts Link413, a partnership between three regional transit authorities, will introduce three longer-distance bus routes to connect North Adams, Pittsfield, Greenfield, and Northampton.

Yet again our neighbors to the north are expanding bus service. Soon one will be able to get across all of Massachusetts using transit.

Which leads to my ultimate wish, a stadtbahn like service for the region, a modern take on the old trolley/interurban lines.

I would love to see passenger service on the Griffin Line, it could start off as a River Line/O-Train Lines 2+4 and eventually upgraded to electric when the Hartford Line gets it done.

Would love to see the limited existing rail in Hartford upgraded to allow for at least LRT service

Thanksgiving Holiday Service Update - Hartford Line The CTrail Hartford Line is a fast, frequent, and reliable passenger rail service that connects communities along the I-91 corridor.

Glad to see Connecticut stepping up to help Thanksgiving travelers by increasing service on the Hartford Line…especially considering how stressful and tenuous air travel has been.

DOT ended up expanding the scope to include consultation with utilities. The delayed report is due to the expanded scope.

Tower Avenue’s streetlights are out thru Keney Park, the worst place to have no lights. Between the potholes and the random wildlife it has become Hartford’s version of the Merritt Parkway.

Granted the bar is in hell for transit, but any tools or resources, especially free and easy to use ones helps transit advocates to advocate.

But it got bought by Via and hasn’t been replicated. I wish it had and Subway Builder fills some of that void but still only helps folks in big American cities that already have better transit than most.

It reminds me of how folks at Remix had made Transit which allowed us laypeople to build bus networks with real data and allowed us basic folks to understand transit planning without buying software that costs too much for most people, me included

It would be great if the developer could figure out a way to incorporate LRT and maybe down the road buses so building a system in my hometown of Hartford would make sense but one can dream.

Seeing cities like my former homebase of Baltimore being added helps me find things to do through the dark cold winter

I’m basing this off watching video reviews of it (and yelling at the creators thru the screen to make better/different choices) and will buy it soon

Granted, Subway Builder is based on Spanish subway construction costs because US costs are prohibitively obscene, but I think it helps activists understand constraints and helps experts understand where activists are coming from

Glad that Subway Builder is a thing and optimistic about updates and city additions. I feel like this game (which sounds too elementary of a word for what it is) helps bridge the gap between activists and folks in the field between dreams and reality

But what do I know, i’m just a consumer of this capitalist oligopoly.

It’s the privilege of being able to have one foot in and one foot out which doesn’t allow someone else the chance to move up.

The guest host thing is cool for the correspondents I guess but I think about how if Roy Wood wasn’t able to pivot to hosting his show on CNN or HBO or whatever I would be more irked

I want to like Jon Stewart on The Daily Show but I don’t like how because he gets one day a week we get stuck in limbo on having a real host.

Was gonna do early voting but how could I miss out on getting some girl scout cookies on election day at my local polling place?
