I regret to inform you that the NIMBYs are up to their shit again.

Periodic reminder that while you should OF COURSE respond to any calls for blood donation immediately after a crisis if you can, it's even more important to donate when there ISN'T an emergency. If they're asking for donations right after a crisis, it means supplies were already critically low.

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

This screenshot is from an article in the Times that's highly misleading and written by a rail opponent. SNCF's proposal bypassed Central Valley cities which was never going to be politically tenable x.com/cruickshank/...

When will JTA finally give up this boondoggle? Autonomous pods are not a transit solution and will never replace good bus service and rail.

Turns out you don't have to throw trans people under the bus to win. Eat shit Yglesias & Co.

Me translating from Spanish into English: Ha ha, yes! Me trying to translate into Spanish: Oh fuck, oh shit.

I know Metro can have some weird advertising but this is something else lmao

THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ARE 4-1 MAN I CAN MULTITASK

@wmatagm.bsky.social why are Metro Transit PD officers wearing face masks when patrolling stations? This doesn't build trust with the community.

If you're looking for an American version of a "middle age blokes talking" podcast, I can't recommend the Unauthorized History of the Pacific War enough. Bringing together historians and career navy officers to talk about this stuff results in great listening.

i gave the pro-palestine protests shit for not policing themselves against hamasniks and antisemites. what's good for the goose is good for the gander: if abundance won't police itself against freaks who don't believe in liberal democracy it ain't worth shit publiccomment.blog/p/when-is-a-...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xqp... During the last months of the War in Europe, the U.S. Army gave 11 divisions platoons of Black soldiers. After they interviewed white officers and NCOs in 7 of those divisions across 24 rifle companies. The results were pretty significant.

it's friday.✌🏽if you made it to today, keep going.♥️

First passenger service of the new Acela out of DC this morning!

i like when these guys just say things like "union station has fallen into disrepair" which is plainly false to anyone with eyes apnews.com/article/trum...

used to be you could get an indictment against a ham sandwich. now you can't even indict a guy who throws a ham sandwich. folks, www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Just walked past a group of National Guardsmen standing at the exit to the Metro to presumably catch anyone evading fares. Utterly tremendous use of resources.

Protest over by the federal courthouse in advance of the hearing at 2

The problem with protests in DC is that, regardless of what the event is, RevCom somehow manages to take every single one of them over. You show up thinking that you're gonna protest the National Guard deployment, and find yourself trapped next to someone mumbling about Bob Avakian

DAVE THOMAS CIRCLE ISN'T ON ANY OF THESE FUCKING MAPS, AND THIS INTERSECTION ISN'T EVEN ANYWHERE CLOSE TO BEING A FUCKING CIRCLE.

If you can't point to Ward 8 on a map then you don't get an opinion on social issues in DC

Guest writer Marcus Nelson tried out JTA’s $60 million U2C project. Is it a viable transit solution or… not?

Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland indicates that yes, the Ethiopian food is that fucking good

As a reminder: LLMs are not intelligent beings. You are providing an input to an algorithm that calculates, in a very complicated way, the probability in which words will follow each other in response to your input based on whatever data was used to train the algorithm. The algorithm doesn't think.

If you ever see John Roberts in person and don’t tell him to go fuck himself, you’ll regret it forever.

And it's done! 6 days, 9 provinces, 6 time zones, and 20 buses later, we've made it to the end of the Trans-Canada Highway!!!!! Thanks so much to everyone who followed along on this insane adventure across this amazing country!

Cuomo has conceded defeat.

Still the coolest art in the DC Metro

Don’t use milk or antacids on tear gas. Use water. Anyone telling otherwise is a charlatan.

solidarity with LA. fuck ICE.

My D-Day take is that Eisenhower was one of the greatest generals in history not because he was a Napoleon or Su!-Tzu, but because he was the best diva manager who ever lived when the western Allies had a lot of divas to manage.

The infuriating thing about this book is now I have to go tell everyone to read it. I'm going to be that guy at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers — running out into traffic, trying to tell passing drivers that the best science fiction novel this year is about Star Wars and it deserves a Hugo

“I don’t want the world to end. I just hate Democrats.” I got news for you pal. There’s already a party for people who hate Democrats but don’t want the world to end: the Democratic Party.

So true. Getting mad at Democrats is one of my favorite things to do.

Being interested in firearms as a historical and mechanical topic sucks ass because YouTube thinks that me watching C&Rsenal and Gun Jesus means I'll like an account with a thin blue line punisher skull pfp publishing a video titled "I'M BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI"

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

Columbia Rd Bikeshare stations seeing a 49% increase in ridership compared to they system's overall 35% increase is so validating. Columbia used to be so sketchy but the new bike lanes are a game changer for cross-town trips and heavy usage reflects this.

How the hell did Andor happen

Please take a moment to send an email to DDOT telling them you support the proposed safety improvements at Grant Circle. A quick email saying how you use the circle and your support would help. Email is in the link below:

Happy @bikeshare.bsky.social Data Day to all who celebrate. Took a look at my local station and it saw an average of 54 rides per day. For a station that takes up the same space as 2.5 parking spots, that's a ton of people being moved.

Capital Bikeshare keeps climbing with 664,199 rides in April, a 35% YoY increase! It might seem like only a small bump over March but it's a 10% rides/day increase due to the 30-day month. The last two weeks of April averaged 24,406 daily rides which is over 1,000 higher than Oct 2024
