We need a name for the weeks following Black Friday/holidays when everyone at at once tries to sell their old jackets, boots etc. happy Honda days or sm shi.

Peace monks falling victim to Houston traffic violence is really something!

Got 800+ followers after like 10 years on Twitter and now I gotta restart? I hate this gameeee

At the Nov evening Houston city council session. Telling of the *city's priorities* that Shabazz +Whitmire have given Blodgett st haters more time to speak but are enforcing the 1 minute speaker rule for the many outraged at the family separations HPD and ICE are carrying out

New rail line drop: REM Deux-Montagnes line (light green on this map) from Gare Centrale, 33km of new light Metro in Montreal.

If this shutdown continues into the holidays and I don’t end up visiting my family out of state, I’m probably just gonna take a trip to Dallas this winter.

Uncs who meow

This was a hoot to see in person, dw it’ll make it to social media soon enough.

Ok here’s a thread of speaker’s comments. If you are concerned about public transit, bikeways, over policing, read more below

This evening city council session has over 250 minute worth of speakers. So many are speaking on the pride crosswalk that the city secretary is calling speakers and begging them to surrender their time and “group your comments”- not happening!

METRORail Red Line riders say delays are stealing hours of their time! www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Also this is all just so devastating as a climate guy. We can make quick progress on mobile emissions with tools cities already have. But here we are!!!

A few thoughts on the Metrorail reliability crisis. Metro in a statement last week acknowledged the lengthy delays and said they knew the city was fuddling with transit signal priority. This is a failure of agencies to work together. This decision was made without the riding public’s input.

Not to brag but did back line parking day this year

Even after the administration's illegal freeze on funds and massive program cuts via the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," there are still unspent pockets of federal money available to states.

Good article. This problem is also rampant with trains - every agency wants custom kit instead of just buying things off the rack.

It can't be stressed enough: this kind of city is MORE accessible, with MORE choices for everyone. Reducing the number of cars driven by people who don't need to drive leaves more space for mobility vehicles and reduces journey times. Cars are expensive!

Congrats to @cardenonwheels.bsky.social for being selected by Atlanta City Council as the interim Council member for District 2 (my district)! Good choice, y'all. And thanks to @atlpresscollective.com for the great coverage.

Wow ok well good job toronto blue jays ay?

I’ve watched about 70 speakers at Harris county court plead 4 funding of pollution control, eviction prevention, homeless services, and health services. Incredible mobilization. Big question is what the groups do when politicians double down on service cuts, imo

What’s cool about parking day at kefita coffee (details tbd 😬 )is that it’s a small business that exists basically bc of it being in the market based parking district. Lowering the barriers to small business ownership and entrepreneurship is a good idea. “Your local coffee shop”

“The bike people” won @FlyingSaucerHou trivia night, in case you need any further evidence of our divine, righteous cause.

Is this a diesel multiple unit

Houston metro lookin kinda off today

Flight from Houston to Dallas got delayed two hours. Coulda been a 220mph @TexasCentral train

Should the Amtrak hippo HHP-8s be HHP-0s if they’re only non powered control cars?

It’s good to have friends

Queer women will be hit especially hard by the incoming Medicaid cuts and restrictions in Trump's tax law. That includes Sara Habein, a mother of two living in northern Montana, who recently learned that she has cysts in her brain. Read her story in the latest from me and @chabeli.bsky.social

Big news! The brand-new Amtrak Cascades trainset is on the move! It's en route to Pueblo, Colorado! Many thanks to rail fan Hudson Sheats @centralvalleyrailfan8311 who captured these amazing images! More info in comments. #AmtrakCascades #NewTrains

I got to design the BART sweater this year so I made an ugly sweater that isn't actually ugly.

At the montrose super neighborhood meeting: metro mill and overlay project for parts of westheimer will be ripped up shortly so the city can replace a water line. Brilliant coordination going on here

Maine 🦪 🌲

The federal railroad administration considering high speed rail to be any line that travels with a top speed of 110 is kinda funny. Not average speed, top speed. 🤷

Pretty dark looking up “air”, “quality”, “environment”, “climate”, or “protection” on USA jobs and getting returns almost exclusively for 6 figure salaries for CBP/ICE

Extra-suburban +rural Maine has taken to the micro mobility revoltion Folks use e-bikes, pole assisted roller blades on sidewalks, country road shoulders, and even rural freeways. Driving is ez and friendly from Bethel to Bath. Shame not every city enjoys such neighborly driving

📍 Orrs Island, Maine

probably not a good sign that half of the 2025 State of Housing in Harris County and Houston was about flooding risk and buy outs. Rest about rising rent and insurance costs. Bad time for the city and feds to divest from drainage, emergency services www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNWn...

Can u buy one of the micro cars metro uses? Is that a thing that I can purchase with human American dollars?

I nearly spit out my coffee. There’s AI in the refrigerators now.

My take on the PA transit crisis:

Trolley jail :-(

Metro’s new 500 route

Ahhhhh just what downtown needed. Just kidding, downtown is already more than a quarter parking lots or garages

Save the date, y’all!

I am not price sensitive (the polite way planners, politicians, etc say broke ppl?) and would happily pay way more than 1.25 per ride on Houston metro. Anything to get more buses running ASAP

small climate victory

What exactly is stopping us from building a street blog USA for Houston?

Yeah, the first wave of urban renewal projects were heinous, massive gashes done onto almost every city in the USA, I just also think it’s important to point out that urban renewal projects haven’t stopped happening. The I 45 expansion is one of them. The GRB expansion is another.
