i feel like the greenfield YIMBY city of the future should be less car-oriented and probably have some intercity transit options better than *squints at diagram* the western railway museum

Parking section of the CA Forever Specific Plan is interesting...No parking maximums for housing and plans for parking garages to be within a 1/2 mile or less of every home, with upwards of 114k parking spaces planned across at least 54 parking garages. Not really incentivizing transit use here...

i will buy norfolk southern and run it at 120% operating ratio for the public benefit until the wizard runs out of money

doctober @docseuss.bsky.social · 1d

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Alternate reality in which Budd survived and we just kept making excellent equipment passengers would actually want to ride instead of mediocre equipment with seats that are too hard for long journeys and no food service.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · Dec 10

POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.

Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?"

Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."
