This 1938 children’s menu from the New Haven Railroad is somehow even more charming on the inside than on the cover. Young passengers could order by picture — choosing between PB&J, fluffy mashed potatoes, and more alongside circus animal silhouettes. NUTL Menu Collection, Thomas F. Seaman donation.

Would be great if more of us transit nerds would write to our elected officials about transit cost escalation! Would finally be something unique they’d be hearing not just some mass sent email petition they’ve already gotten 1000+ times on the same few reoccurring issues they’re well aware of.

Perhaps Amex won't need that building after all.

ICYM In a year when the UK economy grew 1.1% the Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy grew 12 per cent. And yet somehow it remains received wisdom on much of the right of British politics that clean technologies are bad and must be stopped. www.businessgreen.com/news/4526135...

Apparently Republicans at the national level are starting to wake up to the fact that their anti-vaccine platform is toxic to them. It’s too little, too late. They’ve already destroyed the public health infrastructure in the U.S. and now we all have to pay. Do not forget this come November.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

Turns out Persona is owned by Peter Thiel too. What a surprise.

Beware of a political party that is more focused on keeping people from voting than winning their vote.

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR A BAD CAUSE IS NOT A MORAL ACT

“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”

Supreme Court doing Friday news dumps now

JUST DROPPED: Supreme Court decision on (most of Trump's tariffs). They're unconstitutional. They've always been unconstitutional. Turn 'em off. This wasn't a trade war; it was a pointless and illegal diversion.

$300m for these trains, plus a $500m TOD development underway for the SLE, and we're going to throw it all away for $8.8m a year in operation savings. Which will take approximately 100 years to net back. Absolute craziness -- www.railjournal.com/regions/nort...

Unlike most travel boycotts, which tend to fizzle over time, Canadians show no sign of relenting on a national movement that cost the U.S. $4.5 billion in 2025.

Crushing the mRNA industry in the US also probably destroys a bunch of cures for various cancers just as an FYI.

IT'S NOT GOOD TO OPERATE ON CREDIT

It also seems rather blatantly unconstitutional

Please do this!

The framers were wrong about a lot of stuff but they were definitely onto something with juries

Bad Bunny has a consulting historian. news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

They’re all gonna say “packages are being stolen from my doorstep.” Which demands the question: why have we picked a path where we isolate ourselves so thoroughly that we need to surveil our surroundings instead of going to a store?

When the next president reopens the Kennedy center they should have Bad Bunny do the first show.

The eastern shore of Lake Michigan - between South and Grand Haven - is loaded with mountain ranges of ice 😱

For all the MAGA racists, white supremacists and Nazis, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. Bad Bunny is an American citizen. Now, kindly go fuck yourselves.

A propos of nothing, butI think from a purely literary perspective Tisquantum/Squanto might be the most compelling character in American history, both for what we do know about his life and for all the fascinating ellipses in the record

The Epstein Ballroom is such a postmodernist building: The north facade is a clean copy of Hoban's windows. The portico mirrors one on the Treasury Department, and they've just bumped it from six to eight columns to match exactly. None of this has much relation to the interior. Decorated shed.

Major news in NYC: NY secretary of state won a court order blocking the Trump admin from freezing funds for the new Hudson tunnel, the Gateway project.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

As a transit advocate who recognizes how important this project is, I don't want Gateway to stop. But for the good of the country I have to agree with this. You have to fight to stop the authoritarian slide. Besides, there's no reason to believe any deal would be kept. bsky.app/profile/2ave...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

New Acela 2 Gen equipment. 3 bathrooms non-functional, platform extension bridges are broken, and 20 minutes late. Snow and ice makes a racket when the train is at speed and kicks up debris.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

A new study from sociology researchers at Hunter University found that Delivery Workers are the safest cyclists on the road.
