Let's take a bunch of visitors to a meat raffle.

She’s right! Lots of people are complaining about the little snow, but this really was an exceptional storm.

I get everyone is venting their frustrations here, but it’s not a snow removal issue, it’s all ice. It was a massive sleet storm.

Very relevant for the current weather!

I’m glad someone is making this point re: the T4A report on World Class Transit. It’s not just a matter of “more.” Rather than a list of specific projects, we need to pursue network planning in these places, IMO.

This sucks, man.

I’m a sucker for glass block!

Congress has legally mandated that Amtrak turn a profit.

god damnit.

Jesus, that last line.

so my phone finally updated to iOS 26 and now my lock screen clock is constantly askew for some reason?

none of these concepts appear any better (or even that different, fundamentally) from the already existing master plan for Dulles. Some are just packaged with shiny renderings.

honestly surprised that Wisconsin isn’t buried in the bottom left

really excellent visuals with this piece.

Washington has long weighed a plan to redevelop a vast federal office enclave in SW DC. Along comes a president willing to demolish the East Wing without warning. Neoclassical designers sense their moment. Welcome to DC's next neighborhood-in-waiting, FEDLANDIA: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

This is great news. And quite the contrast from the failed/canceled HSR project. Incremental extension of existing Amtrak corridor service.

Good morning!

A sharp drop in the Cheese Availability Index means a big storm is coming

A surefire way to make transportation more abundant and affordable? Increase density. In Bloomberg, I explained why. 🧵

The picture of his cubby

Makes me so angry as a UW-Madison alum; yet alone as an American to see us voluntarily torpedoing these institutions.

my god.

Post a car picture you took

Ooof. “Several said the decision to stop the project would undermine public confidence in the More MARTA program, which has yet to deliver a single capital project nearly 10 years after Atlantans began taxing themselves to pay for transit expansion.”

wow. That doink and the punt block TD were even bigger than they seemed.

Happy for Indiana. Now, we need to restore order to the universe. This is deeply unnatural.

doink

Right down to getting the ref raising his arms to signal TD in the frame at the end.

I always love a discussion of map projections; however, I wish the Mercator Haters would acknowledge *why* it’s so ubiquitous in the first place!

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Early review here of the design concept for the new RFK Stadium, and how it seem to thread the needle between homage to the 1961 original and the “classical” push (that honestly pre-dates the current admin) www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

no no no no no no YES

oh man lol

Good article here on Seattle’s growing transit network and ridership, and the growing pains therein: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The thing about signage is: there’s a lot of it www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/a...

The transportation concept slides are interesting; pedestrian access is clearly not meant to be a comprehensive set of routes, but needs a lot more thought IMO

Ah, man. That’s a bummer. Seems like a great example of the long tail of covid still impacting businesses in cities…

Another way to think of it: there are 12 metro areas with teams in each of the “big four” sports leagues; and the Twin Cities are one of them

One thing that really strikes me about people who shallowly argue for trams in N-America is how little they realize that the way we manage traffic here will seldom produce the level of ease of access they experience in European trams and long for Example: accessibility of stops, Paris vs Toronto

there’s no way the USPS bot is completely random!

seeing this happen in the neighborhoods I grew up in is absolutely enraging

I really miss the daily routine of flipping through the paper. As a kid, I’d read the comics and baseball box scores every day while eating breakfast.
