Three former Secretaries of State who all share the same opinion make for a pretty boring roundtable. Seems they didn't call John Kerry because he is the only one who has called Israel's regime of control over Palestinians an apartheid system.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency @heatmap.news

For the sigzels. @literar63.bsky.social Transperth bus signals being worked on at Elizabeth Quay Bus Port.

Flex-post, bike lane, bike share dock protected painted sidewalk extension. What a combo.

Tracking license plates has been an important way for community watch groups to help verify ICE vehicles. Although I suppose just having no license plates does make them easier to spot...

I haven't heard any news about progress with extending the line to Andover since last year, at which point it was anticipated that the project could be complete by "fall 2026". (that's now!) www.njherald.com/story/busine...

Paulinkskill Viaduct in New Jersey. Part of the Lackawanna Cutoff. "When completed in 1910, it was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world." Soon to reopened for trains.

Two of Narrabri's three water supplies have been switched off amid claims the state government is "taking too long" to find a solution to a chemical contamination issue.

Oh no, Drew has escaped containment being too racist in racist Australia. The Midwest, via NJ.

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me.” -Jesus

Is this good?

A Federal Court judge found the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it removed the journalist and broadcaster from the air during a five-day radio presenting contract.

Nearly 80 percent of steel products made in the UK are exported to the European Union.

We ask everyone outside of the car to be safe so that drivers can be dangerous. That’s the entirety of our approach to road safety.

"The models — or rather, trims, since they aren’t new vehicles — unveiled Tuesday are about taking away, not adding. They reek of a company holding the line, not moving it forward"

Bvrgers and savsage. 👏 Next!

Make sure you read the report about how Stephen Miller deported Waco's favorite Mexican restaurant owner. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/07/t...

Not the main point, but this section on the Medicaid work requirements shows that the Republican model of "efficiency" is simply creating a ridiculous new bureaucracy that will force people off Medicaid.

A month after fake cement bricks, the MTR has found unapproved screws from an unknown brand for the installation of fireproof boards at Tung Chung East Station. It also found >10% of shear bolts for a steel bridge were not submitted for MTR's approval before use. www.hk01.com/article/6028...

imagine going from “don’t say anything bad about Newsom 3 years before the primary or else trump will win” to “don’t engage in civics by asking the governor that represents you to sign laws that have been passed by two state houses and will improve your life or else you’re helping fascism”

I went out to Flatbush to see the new bus lanes and uhmmm it’s a bit of a mess for now. Very little signage and markings with sudden lane shifts. Illegal parking is a major problem. One vehicle reduces road capacity by 50%. I asked an NYPD traffic agent and he’s like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s my first day lol

My photo doesn’t do it justice but Court Street in Brooklyn is going to be nice when it’s done.

US airspace as of 17:30 local (21:30 UTC) — multiple air traffic control facilities have staffing shortfalls this evening, including Chicago, Nashville, and multiple facilities in Texas and the northeast.

Proud Boys deputised. Make sure they don't forget what it feels like to be an unsecured load.

If you want places to be accessible to older and disabled people installing benches is one very helpful thing to do. Seems a few people are worried that young people will sit on a bench and be a bit annoying, so the bench won’t be installed after all.

RIP Dr Su. RIP us, you're going leave us with zionist Intel fumbles.

okay, ngl. this is the first time I've walked away from reading something about OpenAI that has *truly* left me with the impression that they are surely treading into Enron territory here. the key difference tho is that they're baking their deals openly instead of cooking the books after the fact.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

🚇 Metro Tunnel will be "soft" opening in December (from The Age) 🚇 On weekdays, trains every 20 mins between 10am and 3pm from Westall and West Footscray 🚇 On weekends, trains every 20 mins from 10am to 7pm, and extend to East Pakenham every 40 mins and Sunbury every 60 mins

When Sydney Metro CBD opened, the greater public, who weren't closely following the details of the project, realised for the first time what a game changer it was. The people loved it, the media loved it, and now they all want more. Melb's Metro Tunnel looks like it's going to squander its debut?

Now the most dangerous actor in Australian politics ... and he's from the Labor political party

Fake train lore yeah

A lot of us said shit two years ago that really could've helped keep us from where we are on this site today

It’s good and you should read the whole thing. Some highlights:

Albo - too dull & shallow. Once happy to present himself as the protege of the courageous Tom Uren, who had been to the left in Whitlam & later Hawke Govts. Now Albo just a centre right, do nothing, squander opportunities, cartel-captured seat warmer. When we are at such a critical point…

I enjoy how people with lists called "leftist pigs who deserve helicopter rides" are ignored so the devs can focus on what's *really* important, defending digital cancer
