What are we doing, InDesign?

AI is essentially NoFace from Spirited Away.

When Miss Hannigan said "we're not having hot mush today, we're having cold mush," she was talking about overnight oats and acai bowls.

There's a fine line between "I'm going to do this my own way (creative)" and "I'm going to do this my own way (stubborn)".

New York and Chicago are always arguing about whose pizza is best. Meanwhile St. Louis is serving up this culinary masterpiece largely unnoticed.

It's a good day for some lemon pound cake! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxK...

Amtrak getting in there with the ad placement. 🚄🚆

Transit and Urbanism Directory: 2026 UPDATE IS LIVE! 418 Organizations - 45 orgs added - 577 social links added - 33 social links relocated Have a look! www.howdoyou.guide/orglist

I want to see the fan theory where Jar-Jar is a Sith Lord produced, but specifically I want to see it in buddy cop format where Jar-Jar keeps calling Palpatine “Steve” and it gets on his nerves.

PHILADELPHIA WHAT IS UP WITH THE COLD BREAD AND COLD CHEESE?

Adobe really likes to update all its apps while I'm on Amtrak running a hotspot. Laptop battery normally lasts all day, it's down 35% in under an hour, running 3 CPUs full blast.

Which architecture school is teaching that people want to walk through expansive plazas and concourses on their way to things? Oculus. Anaheim. This... thing. And can they please stop?

Hold up, was the end music in Phantom Menace lifted from Powaqqatsi?

I am here for ripped leftist Dilbert.

TikTok Shop tried to get me to change a product title with AI. It suggested a longer title. OK fine, let's click it so it shuts up. A minute later, it tried to get me to change *the very product title it had provided* to an even longer one with AI. Just brainless word salad generation.

Short C trains have me SPRINTING for the train at 50th. They SUCK.

LFG!!!

I just discovered that I can make stop motion videos using my phone camera and video editing software. It's not hard. You may not see me for a while.

I would love. Just once. To go a whole day where no sites ask for cookie settings, no pages make me click "read more", and no apps offer feature tours. I am tired. Let me just read the articles and use the apps.

Just now realizing that I am *not* insane, and Baltimore has *two different systems* of color-coded buses. Two completely different green routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different purple routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different orange routes. One free, one $2.

Guy across the aisle on the first class Acela is on a call bitching about the bike lanes where the road gets clogged up by double parked Mercedeses to pick kids up from school.

What are we doing here, Baltimore? Ads for freeways plastered all over the @amtrak.com station.

Hey @mta.maryland.gov and @transit.app! You two should get together. I've been here a day and already 2 trains and a bus haven't been where the app said.

Making the complaint on the basis of reputational risk and fiduciary responsibility. I knew @bradlander.bsky.social had game, but this is a whole other level. Using accounting tools to fight fascism is 👨‍🍳💋.

Twelve years in the city and only today I noticed you can get regular bread for a sandwich. I always thought it was just hero, roll, or bagel.

Dear every app that I haven't used in two weeks: I 👏 DON'T 👏 CARE 👏WHAT'S 👏 NEW! Let me use the app please. Thank you.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

YEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Just yelled at a guy for driving on the sidewalk, if you're wondering how my day is going.

If you are surrounded by Denethors, be a Gandalf.

I feel like a lot of people care more about guessing correctly than trying to change the outcome.

Clown of a mayor. Counting down the days until he's no longer our problem. (Only 105 to go!) gothamist.com/news/mayor-a...

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

Precisely this. Kirk was not engaging in actual discussion with anyone. His entire brand was baiting unprepared undergrads into providing content that he could heavily edit for use in advancing his audience's favored narrative fantasies about clueless kids.

Hey @transit.app, why no data for the D?

The best person.

Pretty sure this is just some lackey telling GPT to write in the style of Donald Trump at this point.

Hi everyone! Happy to announce that @howdoyou.guide is now live! We'll be putting out quick reference and deep dives, and nice things to sell (currently stickers!) We also have an Urbanism & Transit Directory. Check it out! www.howdoyou.guide

Just saw a truck run a red, then scold tourists for being in the street when it's red. 😒

It's 2025. Nobody, I repeat NOBODY, is noticing your car alarm and coming to the rescue. Let's retire this technology.

This particular panel from Calvin and Hobbes has never felt more relevant to me than now.

So refreshing to have some political good news! Looking forward to seeing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social bring it home in November. Props also to @bradlander.bsky.social for being an amazing human being by all metrics, and @zellnor.bsky.social for running a great platform.

Once again, @bradlander.bsky.social has the city's back. Love this guy.

I love SnagIt, but I would love even more to use it *just once* without installing a new version or getting a new feature tour.

Is this a "how to not get murdered by armored tanks" test? As opposed to a "how to not murder with your armored tank" test?

The wild part about tariffs is they apply only to goods (which we'd like to be cheap and often make sense to manufacture elsewhere). It's shooting ourselves in the foot. What *might* make sense is financial incentives to bring outsourced white collar labor, like call centers, back to the US.
