hoping we have a return to appreciating expertise

wow, reeks of desperation

just replaced 11 yr old tv that had experienced a “fatal internal error” is 11 yr old laptop now doing the same? 😕

manifesting: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 ai bubble 🕯 🕯 to pop disastrously 🕯 🕯 for all involved 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

One more dedicated left-turn and right-turn lane will fix it, bro, I promise. All we need is just a couple more lanes and longer cycles to increase throughput.

Where Metro goes the regions grows! Economic drivers like population, jobs, employers, business output, property value, and tax revenue are all positively impacted by Metro, and the numbers prove it!

shopping for a good winter coat for my male parental person, and do men not get to have long coats? I’m looking for a coat — not a jacket — that covers the butt. My own coat is about mid-thigh length? is that style only made for the wimmin?

You forgot if you don't buy a car before applying you're already not hired

did the RideOn 45 move to the Rockville Pike side (west? west side?) of Twinbrook station permanently? I thought it was like a temporary thing for … bus loop refurb?

Don't let Red Line shuttle buses get stuck in [car] traffic! Bethesda, Medical Center, & Grosvenor stations will be closed in July-August 2026. Tell your MD legislators we need bus-only lanes for the Metro shuttle buses! Click here to send an email: actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

✨Bus Magic✨ Sometimes the local bus reaches yr destination at the same time as the express bus, so you can have a toasty warm longer journey instead of a wait in the cold

love to support my nbrhd bus 🚌 which is there when I need it (during rush hour) and toasty warm 😊

We have a lot of questions about the WB-Netflix-Paramount (?) deal so we got on the phone with @warren.senate.gov! To start, is this deal even legal????

no, yr chatAI is not the same as searching a library catalog

If you are looking for a way to help out, libraries are community centers, resource hubs, among other things; they do so much on many fronts. Getting involved with your local Library & helping it is one of the best things you can do. Great post on this topic: organizingmythoughts.org/you-cant-fig...

when I say these guys are micromanaging — from the level of Secretary

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

The NIH is seeking leadership via Facebook ad. The comments are spectacular. www.facebook.com/share/1AAWyg...

ooooh I love to learn a new thing: human interface device hyooooomun (happy hands)

also can you undo that thing my cat did when they sat on my laptop

just every day I am hearing very concerning things from people who are using tools that they don’t even know how it works or what they’re doing and I have concerns

someone tell everyone generative chat is not a search engine or a bibliography or a library

some days

did somebody ask for feedback?

Live footage of "Why that baby aint got no coat on?"

whew, visions of 2015 on this red line platform 🚇

oh we’re singletracking

good heavens, it’s brisk out there 🥶

it’s more micromanaging from the least qualified people

I'm doing this for three reasons: 1. Most Americans don't know a living scientist, and essentially 0% Americans have seen the process of applying for funding from the systems that Trump, RFK Jr., etc. are destroying. Come take a peek behind the curtain with me: a guy who isn't very good at this.

I am very happy to not be repeating the AI class I did in fall 2023, but this is the first piece of AI-themed writing that made me laugh so hard I almost wish I could put it on the syllabus.

still thinking about someone saying they want to make sure their school-age children know how to use ai/chatgpt 👀

Reminding myself to get serious about petitioning MDSHA to automate pedestrian signals on Rockville Pike/Md 355 (she typed while shivering on a street corner) 🥶

happiness is a toasty warm bus 😊🚌 @rideonmct.bsky.social

Saw a video where a travel influencer missed half the Christmas markets in Cologne because they relied on ChatGPT to tell them the opening dates and you know what, sometimes I let my very German schadenfreude run free.

soup, I think

back when we were having chronic Metro problems (oh yknow 2015-ish) I frequently sent reroute info to a family member mid-commute to spare them excessive delays. Sometimes you can change lines or hop a bus or even walk instead of waiting.

this seems like a good time to wonder if we would consider adopting the practice of waiting at platform with doors closed 🥶 realizing that requires a big culture change as well as future equipment change, with doors equipped with Door Open buttons ↔️

delays and shuttles affecting Blue line or only yellow/green ? @metrorailinfo.bsky.social

I know there are still public toilets available outside security, which is super convenient, but I did like being able to hang out in the main hall at DCA: balance fluids, get a snack, watch planes go by, recharge. Have waited out big Metro delays there in the past.

Today, there is strong evidence to suggest aluminum adjuvants are safe for use in childhood vaccines. Plus, each year, about four million deaths are avoided because of these immunizations. Childhood vaccinations don't threaten children's lives, they save them.

@rachelvetica.bsky.social Has Tom Bihn built the better Minimass? www.tombihn.com/products/mar...

I need to get food and more coffee but also I am covered with kittens

still down

apparently people need to be reminded that hpv is not a gender specific infection and hpv vaccination prevents cancers in all the body parts involved in sex, not only cervical cancer

like, if you live in Montgomery County and think we don’t have crime (of opportunity) or if you live in Montgomery County and equate public transportation with crime 👀 we need to talk

ugh, more than one person has now expressed their concern that either “no one will use Purple Line” or “Purple Line will bring crime to MoCo” 👀 babe… we don’t need to import crime of opportunity And if you are insinuating transit = crime … we need to talk

that is some gap, no trains between Farragut N and Brookland 🚇

which WMATA station has the most visible water damage? 😕 or, know your Red Line by the water/mildew marks 🔴🚇
