lol a month ago I saw that headline and said This sounds like some shit that a guy who’s in the Epstein files would say. Lo and behold!

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Wish Tidal was on here so I could ask them WTF is up with this picture of Bill Evans

They want a fight. They deserve a clowning. bsky.app/profile/adam...

How have they solved the issue of charging infrastructure for apartment dwellers without private driveways? Lower rates of car ownership probably help

lol wut - Buster Pointdexter, who sings Hot Hot Hot, is Irish-Norwegian-American and was in the NY Dolls?

One of my favorite pieces so far capturing how dishonest, hollow, and un-American they are.

Couldn't make a meaningful map of Providence fit on a postcard so I drew a chart.

FEDS RUN OVER PROTESTER IN STREETS Live on ABC 7 - federal agents in a white van ran over a protester, leaving them injured in the streets, and sped away.

A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen. He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

The Boss seems to be setting the standard here. Look forward to him giving this speech at Madison square garden in front of audience members who do not understand Born in the USA.

The same kind of folks who spent years complaining about masks that slowed the spread of disease are now wearing masks to facilitate the spread of fascism

Wishing everyone a good night except these ICE agents and Worcester cops - they can go straight to hell

A 16 year old girl has just seen her mother, for all she knows, being kidnapped to parts unknown forever by the secret police with zero hope of recourse and is causing a scene. My job in this situation is to pile on top of the little troublemaker with 5 other men. To protect the peace of course.

Utterly disgusting. Shameful. So heartbreaking. How do these people live with themselves

Sadly, we're in for a round of "Here's What Would it Take to Re-Open Alcatraz" stories instead of what we should get, which is a "Biden is Too Old" amount of press coverage of Trump's dangerous cognitive decline.

@djshaxx.bsky.social wow perfect song for the KWP. One for the ages! Dub has got us siiinnnking into dinner and bath time

The Maine Turnpike Authority will go back to the drawing board to evaluate ways to relieve traffic congestion west of Portland previously targeted by the Gorham Connector.

I mean sure shovel out the hydrants but the odds that there's a fire on this corner today are extremely low. Meanwhile I've seen a handful of people bust their ass on the ice, and dozens more walk in the street due to the curb ramps being blocked by snow.

@romanmars.bsky.social why are they called dongles?

@onthemedia.bsky.social Incredible to hear @edzitron.com absolutely skewer OpenAI and the over-hyped capabilities of LLM's and then listen to the Daily take seriously the idea that "maybe we're gonna get AI that is as smart as the smartest humans in just a few years". pca.st/episode/07c9...

@djshaxx.bsky.social I'm with you!! Bye Mark

WRT Portland, ME State/High two-way study: instead of saying the sidewalk level bike lane will add $2-3 million, one could say we're going to spend $2-3 million to preserve a lane of on-street parking

Stop and think about what it would take to relocate your entire life and family. New jobs, new schools, new housing--it's gargantuan and expensive. Do you really think these families are doing all of that for health care that is anything short of essential for their trans kids' well-being?

My new paper, The effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death risk, was just published at #Economics of #Transportation. I use vehicle design measurements to test for the effect of taller vehicles on pedestrian outcomes in crashes. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Good news, but so cruel what she had to endure.

I see you, businesses with nice clear parking lots and impassable sidewalks. I also see you, India St Amato's! 9/10!

Sidewalks on streets with no esplanades really get shafted. Guarantee at least a few owners will deem it too big of a hassle to clear their sidewalk again and thus the whole block will be inaccessible (unless one walks in the street)

Multimodal morning in Maine!

Sidewalk too narrow for a regular shelter, so this one spans the sidewalk. Much appreciated on this rainy day!

Car-share programs have the potential to reduce car ownership among the people who can least afford owning a vehicle, but subsidies need to be high and the coverage area needs to be large in order to maximize the benefit, a new report shows.

Congress st tonight. Obligatory joke about how maybe the building should have been wearing a hi-vis vest. #portlandme
