It’s past time to ask (as Will does) if the shut down isn’t indicative of something more sinister.

By not being in session Johnson can effectively say that the POTUS has to do things via executive order because the house isn’t in session.

It’s a kind of quiet power grab abetted by the House.

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

screenshot of a Justin Klugh tweet from October 28, 2015: JOE BUCK: Welcome to the top of the 47th [Sun rises] [Sun keeps getting bigger] BUCK: yes [World engulfed by flames] BUCK: oh god yes

oh my god, The Tweet is exactly ten years old tonight

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Three apartment buildings under construction in a temporary shelter in Copenhagen

Exterior of the shelter which is about six stories tall

Seeing this construction project was mind blowing:

in Copenhagen, multiple apartment buildings are being built INDOORS and on-site, in a single “Site Cover” temporary shelter.

As always, remember that good things are possible. This may be years away but it can be here sooner if the network is funded better.

The Darby Transit Center renovation engagement boards made it up to the trolley mod page and... yo

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

The rest of the planet, since the late 19th century: let's move our tramways in a central alignment away from the curb, to diminish conflicts and make it faster.

US streetcars: Wait, what?

Brain injury, among other things

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

I...I don't know what other metaphors we would need

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”
-Article 1, Section 8, US Constitution

Not a "norm" violation. A legal and constitutional violation.

Jeweler struggling with lost wax casting process

The notion that regular people could be political agents outside of elections isn’t threatening to them, it’s incomprehensible.

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

The perils of AI: The AP uses STATS LLC, a British sports AI company (they once owned).

The team and players for this AI recap are all wrong, they took the Texas Southern vs Virginia-Lynchburg game and switched team names and scores.

Now it's on ESPN, CBS, and other AP subscribers

I'm waiting for season 2 ;'^(

A post on the Blank Check podcast subreddit of a guy at the Anchorage No Kings protest dressed like notable antifascist Mtlyazaki character Porco Rosso

Fucking rad. Given Anchorage's population dude is probably an actual bush pilot, too

Yet the main problem of public transit in the US is that it barely exists outside NYC. Networks are so thin and frequencies so low that it's not a logical choice for most people's trips. (This is something we know how to measure, with access analysis.) 7/ humantransit.org/basics-acces... 7/

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Declaration of Independence:

the most AI hype guy in my social circle basically uses it to post videos of him farting like a rocket into the air

the entire economy is dependent on the hope that revenue generated by AI services is going to outpace capital spent on chips, which would need to increase by about 10,000%

awesome

We should ask ourselves how this country of ours has allowed a shattered glass ego like Stephen Miller to become a shadow president.

This has been #drinkanddrawphilly posting

Babe Ruth behavior

Pretty far outside of Philly imo
