I had to track back to find this moment this is better than any of his Drive To Survive work "some through the European Fomulas of Chorizo and Merguez, some through the American system, racing Corn Dogs"

I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

It is embarrassing for the San Diego paper of record to be sourcing the biggest local story of the morning from the Associated Press.

Who called it Car Talk and not Vehicular Man’s Laughter

Amtrak’s most ridden route outside the Northeast is sliding into the Pacific, which is a thing that can and should be fixed.

Periodic reminder: Cities aren't loud, cars are loud.

So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Post-facelift Model 3s and especially post-facelift Model Ys absolutely don't count

Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

All true, but also amazing what a small savings this is for a project like this. If people reading your post can instantly put it into context as "about what Gunnar Henderson will get per year once he hits free agency" you have to leave that number out.

Can you tell whether I'm on a bus or a train? Transit orientated development is possible either way, as long as the service is useful and liberating.

like clockwork once again andy byford achieved something amazing and paradigm-changing with almost no resources and was immediately undermined by the most dumbass politicians in history

My translation of a viral Japanese meme summarizing decades of U.S. complaints about Japan not buying enough American cars (while not making the kind of cars Japanese consumers actually want):

We were just notified that our contract to UCSD and Scripps Research to support wastewater surveillance in San Diego (searchcovid.info) was terminated immediately for the same reasons 👇. That means no more genomic wastewater surveillance, and our proposed extensions to measles, Hep A, others, gone.

I can't believe people still say San Diego has never won a sports national championship:

lol, youtube added a clickthrough warning modal to save people from getting rickrolled. afaict it's the only video that has it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Good town, cycling infrastructure still has a little ways to go to match its namesake, lock system on point though

americans what the fuck did you do to the bloc quebecois

This is a sign you’re at the right bar

Forget an ADU, I need this

A new poll released Monday from Siena College found that more New York City residents approve of congestion pricing than don't, a dramatic turnaround from a previous poll by the same firm back in December.

More of this please
