John Tukey coined the word "bit" and invented the FFT. Not bad, not bad.

One bit of urbanism that caught my imagination and I've always remembered: Design a city that works for women -- where women can move freely & independently, without fear -- and you will have a city that works for everyone.

Has anyone actually been arrested/charged for “doxing” ICE, DHI, or CBP officers? Seems like the sort of thing civil liberties groups should litigate the hell out of — both to make clear that doing so is 1A protected, and to obliterate the idea that these goons have any right to anonymity.

I'm reminded that I saw a couple of South Shore Line freight cars in Northtown Yard when I took a Northstar ride several weeks ago (although the passenger service is run by a public entity these days, split from the freight company) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...

It’s not like having this sort of opportunity again was likely before, but the mill being shuttered certainly cements it.

With DeWayne back in the race, this is once again the RCV strategy if you’re ready for new leadership in Minneapolis. 1) Rank Fateh, Davis, and Hampton in your preferred order. 2) Don’t rank Frey. 3) The end. It’s that simple.

House Republicans have proposed a 50% cut to the Government Accountability Office and a 12% cut to the Library of Congress in a bill to be marked-up tomorrow. This would destroy Congress's non-partisan expert agencies and blow up the Legislative branch.

Yesterday, I went on my friends' annual bar crawl. We used to go down a slide on part of our walk. They removed the slide but not the concrete so I decided to slide anyway. It was slow but it worked. In difficult times, it's important to find joy where we can. (Thanks to Carrie Rainey for the pic)

If Cuomo wins the primary, discourse will peter out once progressives lose. If Mamdani or Lander win, 4 months of the anti-progressive establishment howling for Eric Adams.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

is anyone reasonably prominent talking about the fact that the Israeli attack on Iran was entirely because they were finally losing support from Western leaders for their genocide?

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

I don't know enough to say if this USDOT budget request for rail is better or worse than before, and I think the House budget bill probably doesn't match this. There were $2.4 billion in CRISI grants last year, for instance, and this reduces it to $1.5 billion www.thetravel.com/how-fy-2026-...

Introducing for the first time… Trinity Metro’s TEXRail & DART’s Silver Line on parallel tracks at DFW Airport station, as testing continues for the latter. Both agencies operate Stadler FLIRT DMUs on these routes, which also will offer connections at DFW North station.
