Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Here's the actual PATH improvement phase in timing

Meanwhile, on X

Please sit down before looking at this screenshot. Better things might be possible! @2avesag.as @thelirrtoday.com @airlineflyer.net @mdasilva.bsky.social

Trump take common cents

New Epstein files? I'd Like to See Ol Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!

Strong aurora for North America tonight, per the NOAA. Already seeing reports south of the marked location (CO, NM). #aurora #northernlights

Mama mia! Trump take noodle www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Hey look it's NFL Sunday

Given the choice of millions not being able to afford healthcare going forward vs a few thousand people being delayed at the airport, it's clear that Ds must cave because the latter inconveniences the rich

my prediction is that in two years the cultural divide between X users and anyone else is going to be as wide as 4chan users and FB users in the 2008

Since 2023, ridership increased by one third. Lost revenue was made up for by €124 million "mobility tax" on payroll, for companies with over 11 employees. (They rely on transit to have workers show up at the office!) "Incidents" (petty crime) is down by 9 %. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/06/03/f...

Trump take plane

the biggest conclusion out of Mamdani's win is that the New York Times now only exists to make progressives mad, it influences no one who wields effective power

Voters in communities as diverse as Yampa Valley, Colorado and Kalamazoo, Mich. all said yes to public transportation on Tuesday, approving billions in new funding for light rail, buses and more as well as establishing at least once new transit agency.

Interesting to see big cranes in a small suburban town. How European

More construction progress on our new cycle track and floating bus stop on Somerville Ave and Central Street. 🚲🚌 www.somervillema.gov/intersection...

Probably should be bigger news? www.wsj.com/us-news/more...

Rewatching Newsradio and episode 3 is about NYC banning smoking inside the office

McClatchy is shuttering its Washington bureau, axing its entire real-time national desk, and will withdraw from the White House pool, raising questions about the future of the storied newspaper company. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/mcclatchy-...

New Yorkers who got to vote on whether to make a big map of the city or not: are you ready to embrace the California proposition system? It makes voting more fun!

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

AOC is going to run on nationwide free busses in 2028 and she will win

Virginia is looking great. Huge blue wave in Loudon County.

Damn... this one is rough.

Bland County Virginia tracking more red than 2024 is certainly a choice

If you're anxious about the NJ election results (reporting starts at 8pm) - follow the Virginia shifts in vote which starts coming in at 7pm. It was pretty predictive in 2021. NYC doesn't report until 9pm and California starts at 11pm (EST) with those results famously taking 72 days to finalize.

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO VOTE SIMPLY REGISTER TO VOTE BY MAIL SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND IN LINE TO VOTE AGAIN

According to Priorities USA post-election polling, "Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines."

I don't live in NYC but I wrote in Mamdani to do my part 🙏

Alexandria & Richmond, Virginia have both implemented free bus service, as Mamdani has proposed. They have also succeeded in increasing ridership—as of latest data, their ridership in 2025 is 31% & 25% higher than in 2019, respectively. Overall US transit ridership is 20% lower in 2025 than 2019.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

New bikeways that have opened (or are very close to opening) in Minneapolis this year: - Hennepin Avenue S - University Avenue SE - 24th Street E - 1st Avenue S (1/2)

MTA announces: - A train is going to 8-minute headways during the mid-day weekdays; - L train 8-minute headways extended until midnight on Saturdays (currently service slows down around 10pm) - And 4 minute Sunday headways, starting at 11am (currently starts at about noon)

Get fucked Zuck

My rough math suggests that this will cost $200m a year more than free busses

Proposal: We continue to move the clocks forward every spring but we stop moving the clocks back in the fall

US AUTO LOAN CRISIS DEEPENS: DELINQUENCIES SURGE 50% ABOVE LEVELS FROM 15 YEARS AGO

$700m for busses sounds like a lot. $100bn for high speed rail sounds astonishing. But it's important to contextualize with spending on things nobody wants

On a rainy day like today, it’s so nice to see our green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in action around the Spring Hill project. 🌧️☔️💧

Emerson/WPIX-11 poll finds an absolute squeaker in NJ with Sherrill at 49 and Ciattarelli at 48. Dynamic of the race seems to be driven entirely by Murphy's approval rating. This poll has Murphy's approval at 34%; 11 points under Trump at 45 -- emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-cit...

Maybe running another out of touch millionaire was the bad call? Her big transit plan is....video ads on busses? www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

In Trinidad and Tobago, fishermen are staying home and a family mourns following U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug boats.

One man's dream is another man's nightmare. Personally, there's no glass thick enough.

Greetings from NextGen Acela 2190, where I’m really disappointed with @amtrak.com. None of the digital signage is working, not even the external train number display. Interior displays still don’t display anything useful. No Café Acela self-checkout. Broken bathrooms and doors. C’mon, Amtrak! 😤🤬

Does anyone at LIRR actually work and doesn't just spend every shift figuring out how to scam and cheat? @mtaoig.bsky.social published yet another scathing report detailing brazen, widespread fraud. It just doesn't seem to end. 36 employees (7 supervisors) implicated. mtaig.ny.gov/Reports/2025...
