Franklin Institute out her spreading misinformation. “Ease traffic congestion” smh #onemorelane #justonemorelanebro #franklininstitute #congestionpricing

Still can’t believe that Girard Ave’s traffic pattern is PennDOT approved. This is the best it gets. No there is no paint on the road anymore.

Increase in congestion for the Philly area of the septa cuts go through. Show this to the people that don’t use septa but use the public roads. #savesepta

I find it interesting how non-religious people in the US still use American Protestantism as the “default” religious framework. Like it would be shocking to many that Catholicism doesn’t derive everything from the Bible, or that you can be religious and not worry about belief or doctrine.

I am autistic I work, date, and pay taxes, Bobby WTF? #autisticpride #neurodiversity #haiku

One of the few city drives I do frequently is from Delco to Germantown for church. I despise City Line Ave and Lincoln Dr, except they’re still the fastest way.

#AtlanticCity really needs a prohibition museum somewhere, thinking next to boardwalk hall on one of the piers.

Ideas that could increase capacity and improve the experience at NY Penn Station, from least to most crazy: - New Hudson River tunnel, replace/renovate existing tunnel - Through Run NJT trains to Jamaica, LIRR trains to EWR or Newark Broad

Even in Natick, MA, where Massachusetts has updated their traffic engineering standards, the stupidity of John Forester’s legacy of #VehicularCycling lives on. You could literally just merge the bike lane with the rail trail. #BadBikeLanes

Now would be a great time for the #georgists to meet with small businesses in urban areas and convince them to sell some of their parking spaces to survive the #RedRecession. We could actually get a little bit of momentum against parking minimums. #landvaluetax

What food import item is going to increase in price the most from the tariffs? Just want to know which aisle I should go to with the “I did that” stickers. #RedRecession #Trumpflation

#RedRecession, this is all republicans’ fault

Also, why do I get this bad septa news at the exact same time the federal politics are going to shit? I was doing so well, getting into fantasy worlds and such, and then double whammy of tariff and transit anxiety.

Multi-state cities should take inspiration from Minneapolis-St. Paul, where they actually have a regional planning commission. State borders should matter less for public goods, they should matter more for economy and industry differences.

Regardless if septa cuts service or not, please no rail trails in the interim, we need to keep the rails. Trails can go other places. Also PA 2026 midterms need to be our priority.

It would be really funny if we tried to say that trumps is small, and then when he denies it just ask him to prove it over and over again. Like if episode one of black mirror was a comedy.

I came across the phrase “Red Recession” (or Redcession) recently, and I think it’s a perfect phrase for the democrats to use up to and through the midterms. #redrecession #redcession @danpfeiffer.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

#doge has “saved” the government an equivalent of 3 cups of coffee for every American.
