this is already going great as you could tell "hey btw we're halving the size of trains on half our lines on the weekends" right at the start of summer when THERE'S SHIT GOING ON EVERY WEEKEND This just came out of nowhere and is not going great

writing a script for a video ❌ remaking a meme with my childhood cat ✅

A rat wall in the 48th ward

its always funny seeing suburban/stand-alone restaurants in urban settings like I saw an Arby's in the Loop, what are they doin there!

CTA will be (re)implementing 4-car trains on the Blue, Brown, Orange, and Purple lines every weekend from 3:30am Saturday to 3:30am Monday. They claim this change is to "reduce wear and tear on train cars", enhance security, and improve cleanliness. This apparently was a thing pre-pandemic (cont.)

why yes I am painstakingly animating a full flip board in davinci resolve for this video thanks for asking

I’ll always be a CTA commuter, but when the rain breaks to a beautiful spring day, the Divvy e-bike is magical (Until it stops working as you’re biking on Broadway 😬)

so we're forcing them to drop "Chicago" from their name then right

peak stuff

My new job has kept me from editing but I’m hoping to have a new video soon, as well as completing a huge project by the end of this month 👀

Pride Train spotted, woo!

It’s still there!

the virgin idiotic vegas loop versus the chad iconic chicago loop

Never tell me we don’t have money for transit ever again

Pretty apt that RTA is starting to transition into NITA during Pride month 🏳️‍⚧️ 🚊

What do you MEAN there’s gonna be a 7th Never Say Die compilation????

The RTA/NITA Board has approved the increase in the rate of the sales tax for transit in the Chicago region--15 to 0 vote. This move is a key element in the NITA transit governance/funding reform package that was enacted last Fall.

just did an adventure that took me on 25 different bus routes through 30 different community areas in the city I'm so tired of riding buses right now haha But very excited to show y'all this in an upcoming video 👀

every street in chicago should have its own bus route

I should be working on editing this mega video project but instead I'm going around and riding the silly little buses and trains :)

3.. 2.. 1.. FLOW! Kila getting ready for a run :3 Really really love this character so much!!! #AutumnDreamArt #KilaFlow #PixelArt #Art

Found a solution for those teen takeovers right here: giving teens stuff to do and places to be instead of continually banning and vilifying them then acting surprised when they act out

does anyone know the correct pronunciation of Oquawka, IL? I've heard both "oh-qwa-ka" and "a-qual-ka"

🚨 🚨 The Edgewater Synagogue Redevelopment proposal has been updated to include over 600 units (!), 120 affordable on-site (!!) right on the Red Line (!!!) Come Thurs May 28 @ 6:30 show you support the changes, and affordable, abundant, sustainable housing! 🙏 🌲 🌇

in another example of things breaking for no apparent reason, my music desktop app on my Mac, when skipping forward or backwards in a playlist, now skips *two* songs, instead of one So if I'm on song 7, I can only go back to song 5 or forward song 9. If I'm on 8, I can only go to 6 or 10 WHYYYYY

I love it when a good plaza comes together.

I've hit 5,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is insane. As promised, I'll do a Q&A (probably not for a video, but I'll answer in replies!). Obviously, no personal or inappropriate questions. I also have a question for you: what made you subscribe (or I guess, follow me on Bluesky, lol)?

holy shit

BNSF, CN, CPKC, CSX, NS, UP

how did they make the airpod low battery sound the worst thing in existence

Yall the fences are DOWN!

This is how I got home from St. Louis. It was cramped. youtu.be/NAgdQ41AdUs

One of my bracelets snapped :( and I think the company that made them doesn’t exist anymore

I'd say Naperville, which isn't inexplicable in and of itself, but I think the reason is different than most people What do you mean I have to literally wait for cars to change the light to cross the street *after* I press the beg button

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

I guess those 3,000 hours in cities skylines weren’t for nothing

I went from Alton, Illinois to St. Louis, Missouri in a stupid way that involved 3+ hours on local transit. I also got ice cream youtu.be/_1PyDaOHh68

how do we feel about a new video on the world famous Stormy Kara youtube channel at www.youtube.com/@karatransit... tonight

thinking of making a new rateyourmusic account… could be fun…

As Streetsblog reported, Congress is expected to raise insurance premiums on commuter rail systems, up 24% to around 400 Million. This could be disastrous for many systems to even find where to get that insurance, let alone pay it. You can reach out to Congress here:

me talking to someone I met five minutes ago about how chicago has the best bus system in America

chat what does it mean if my cities skylines save takes thirty minutes to load

Getting the urge to make top 10 singles/eps/albums lists for the years I’ve been listening to bass music on my (dormant) music channel

How are you gonna redo your public transit network and not serve your Amtrak station? Not even at least running a shuttle to connect with the two trains a day?
