Next frontier in North American rail transit needs to be regional rail. Infrastructure’s there, just gotta change how we’re using it.

This is what I have been thinking about in response to local municipalities banning youth from e-dirt bikes and scooters. Youth perspectives are not likely included in convos. If rider safety is the primary concern, provide helmets, and enforce speed limits on both e-riders and drivers.

Appreciate these expansive teak bench platforms on top of elevated tree planters in Kendall. Adapting something kludgy (awkward raised planters) into something useful (lounging space under shade) is pretty cool

Today’s anti-AI vent: I have a complicated issue related to setting up a new service that requires a company to contact a shipper and manually override an address. This is very clearly not something that an AI-facilitated chatbot can remotely handle, despite what [unnamed company] might think.

If swallowed, water beads can expand in a child's intestines and cause injuries or death. Do not let young children play with water beads this summer.

Great series of articles on the erosion of public spaces in our cities and how that loss particularly affects youth participation and inclusion.

A large number of ICE field offices have X accounts where they post regular photo updates. Search long enough and you'll find some that aren't censored. For example, this photo is from a joint operation in Orlando, FL and was posted on March 11. Sharing for reasons.

confirming: at Bolts, our traffic from BlueSky last month was much higher than our traffic via X twelve or twenty-four months ago. And it's way way way higher than the cratered traffic we get from X now.

I especially like how this article on redlining emphasizes the importance of agency and calls out the idea of feeling like we found "the villain" that caused it all, case closed, rather than acknowledging and addressing individual involvement in systemic racism.

Hear me out: what if we turned all the lighter red area into natural area or solar/wind farms. Indianapolis could really be a leader in sustainability if we wanted to because there is just SO MUCH LAND, but you always get the sense the appetite is not there from city leaders

Well. I'm trying it out. These files are massive! Had to drop it to 360 from 720p. No sound because otherwise it's just the whine of the ebike and my brakes. Would love some insight on how y'all manage the file size and quality ratios.

Like us, Zürich foolishly built a light rail line along a surface freeway. As part of a development plan for Ueberlandpark Station, however, they just built a 950m/0.6mi park over the freeway to connect divided neighborhoods
