If CTA could put its planned detours into the GTFS so that all the transit apps reflected it that would be great.

I hate these stupid delivery robots that are all over Chicago not only because they’re slow and taking jobs that people need to survive but because of their steadfast refusal to yield to pedestrians (especially mobility impaired ones) on the right of way.

Sliwa on transportation: “I like to avoid yellow cabs. As you know I was shot in the back of a yellow cab in 1992 by the Gambinos.”
You can’t beat at NYC mayoral debate.

Honestly at this point I want to dress up like a minuteman and go to the Broadview ICE protests and read the Declaration of Independence because like… feels like we’re there again

There’s only one conclusion that can be reached from the response from ICE in Broadview and it is that they are running scared.
They know that they are despised. They know that those on the ground will not quit speaking up for freedom. They have watched as people they gassed and shot at came back.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

i will say that "least funny and most risk-averse comedian in public life finds himself the last possible voice for dissent against a nascent dictatorship" is a great conceit for a dystopian drama
Fallon being the last man standing is such an indictment of Fallon

Chicago is great because men who would inevitably become anti-social terminally online conservative weirdos in the exurbs of Utah are instead not thinking much about politics, cooking some brats, watching the bears, and drinking old styles with the boys in old town.

This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.

I just hi-fived a whole bunch of people who were biking on the lakefront trail, and honestly I think whether or not random people hi-five you back is an incredibly important metric of a city’s health

Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

There are plenty of ways to fund public transportation in Pennsylvania; these examples came from the DVRPC.

We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.
