No one wants to work anymore

What are the odds that the engineers/architects behind the buckling columns used AI to calculate loads

Did you see that ludicrous display just now

Finally turning to my next piece. Probably won't get it out till mid-August cause of all the other stuff I have going on simultaneously. I don't think people have really internalized how much non-defense discretionary has fallen in recent years. This has most of our long-term investment funding.

NJT is just sending out one train an hour today

Can a train expert explain how LIRR keeps the rails cool and comfy while NJTransit simply cannot

Absolutely do not get on a NJTransit train today

Just last week they were making fun of the euros for not being able to move trains in the heat

How did bosnia even get this far

Judge hands down 50-year sentence to defendant Ines Soto, whose wife Elizabeth was sentenced to same prison term

its coming home

The best part is how it's hard to tell if it's a typo

There shouldn't be lightning when it's 62 it's not right

Incredible ridership numbers out of kansas

Sitting just outside Newark for 2 hours when it's 95 degrees sounds fun. Njt can't blame amtrak for this one until the Scranton line starts up

Overhead wire issues near Newark broad street. Fortunately for NJTransit, not essential for wc service

Now we find this out: "NJ Transit made a deal this month with MetLife Stadium and American Dream to move 4,300 people on trains and buses, and those riders didn’t pay the full transit ticket cost to travel from Penn Station" 😬 (3/4)

There’s probably nowhere else in the country where there is as large a disconnect between how normal people get around and how public officials get around as urban North Jersey.

It’s wild seeing this that there is not one true Bus Rapid Transit line up and running in New Jersey. Failure of planning, leadership that hopefully will change soon, starting in Hudson County: www.hcnj.us/visionzero/b...

It's happening

Monterey stadium sounds so much louder than Foxboro

Already 9 traffic deaths in the City of Newark this year, 7 of them pedestrians. Newark really needs an advocacy group for safer streets. The hit-and-run driver is a monster, but it's also a systems issue. What mayor and council in Newark are getting away with is extremely unacceptable.

In the late 80s, my parents, my three siblings and I drove from Dorset to Scotland for a two week camping holiday in an Austin Maestro. Part of the fun of it was seeing how cleverly we could pack everything into a tiny space. We had a great holiday.

Verizon 3 weeks ago announced a new low priced plan. Tmobile has fired back today by uh, raising prices for everyone Bold move.

Sorry, but closing a rail line for TEN MONTHS just to upgrade four stations is completely insane. ctnewsjunkie.com/2026/06/29/c... Even more so considering this same line was closed for months during recent signaling upgrades. What are we doing here.

Good morning! Reminder: MBTA Commuter Rail is FREE on Fridays thru the end of August!! 😎🚆 Next stop: Boston! 🏙️

We should allow AI data centers on the condition that the excess heat be used to create massive free public hot pools

Is mta piloting something they've been doing for over a decade? @2avesag.as @thelirrtoday.com www.amny.com/nyc-transit/...

This week, eight Texas activists were sentenced to between 30 and 100 years in prison — one for attempted murder, but most for supposedly belonging to an insurrectionary “Antifa cell,” including one sentenced to 30 years in part for moving a box of zines. Read more from @gabydvj.bsky.social:

Massive earthquake in Venezuela with tremendous damage being shown. Unfortunately no good sources on bsky

We have mass transit at home

Famously broke SEPTA is moving more people to world cup games than NJTransit without closing the system to commuters

They really lucked out on hosting the world cup in the comfortably cool USA this year

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.

NJ Transit is doing the thing where they run a bunch of late night service without telling anyone

NY/NJ got really lucky with the timing of the lightning tonight

After canceling the NY/NJ fanfest, NJ partnered with Goya to bring a one day fanfezt experience to multiple cities... With an entry fee. Now that's been canceled too lmao. Of course no one would pay to attend when there are better free ones

After two days of walking the length of Bucharest (and back), we could count the cyclists we’d seen on one hand. Then we turned onto Calea Victoriei—home to one of the city’s only concrete-curb protected bike lanes—and spotted more people cycling in two minutes than we had in the previous 48 hours.

Our plan to buy last minute tickets isn't going well. This was supposed to be the cheap one. @princetonyimby.bsky.social

BBC got a crew into southern Lebanon — Israel’s “security zone.” All buildings are gone. All houses are gone. All humans are gone. The only thing that stands above the rubble is an Israeli flag. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

The (sub)urbanism of Brooklyn

Not a fan of this

We need to talk about the pandemic of bars using streaming for world cup games and then the feed buffering. Bring back copper cables.

Went over to Boston to check out some updated separated lanes. Loving the new concrete separation! Cast in place is such a cool technology, looking forward to its further use in the region.

This and another summer of no shore express trains on weekends just sucks www.nj.com/news/2026/06...

It happened

Is there any valid reason to not update schedules to show planned service? Some obscure union rule? Or just incompetence? @thelirrtoday.com @2avesag.as

Incredible. More people used transit in the bay area than NY/NJ for the first world cup game. The CA stadium is served by a light rail line.

Why doesn't amtrak have curtains
