At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

After much deliberation, I bit the bullet to try @proton.me Drive, in an attempt to be less reliant on US tech. I think listening to this vergecast episode validated my choice

the biggest section of the REM (and imo the most important phase) opened today, basically extending a highway-median suburban branch into a full-fledged 50 km north-south metro across the montreal region
montreal now has a 119-kilometre metro system with 87 stations, by far the largest in canada!

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Lets not forget that there isn't a single example of a constructed (and functional) human-scale hyperloop, anywhere in the world.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Commuter rail or HSR will never be successful without multi-modal options. Europe and Asia should be the examples to follow...
Is it 2014? For a province that wants to create a passenger rail system, they sure seem deadset on making sure nobody will use it and just continue driving. This type of attitude is anti-train and will hurt rail use in the long run, making it dead in the water.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
