If @defector.com wants to start an automotive desk (they should!), Vicki must be the first choice.

Safe to say, we are all tired of ice

“ICE kills Good” is awfully on-the-nose.

I broke a finger once by kicking myself in the hand.

We need to shut down Amtrak's graphic design team until we figure out what the hell is going on

This is NOT what America is about. America is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

zohran mamdani speaks to the dream of every goofy nerd that they, too, can land a mind-shatteringly beautiful woman who's just a little mean but in a cool way

Happy New Years to the haters who are all now unemployed instead of being waiters

his final message…

On the eve of the MetroCard's (kind of) retirement, I present to you all the first OMNY Card design prototype.

And to end the year, our very own @bsquiklehausen.com strutted his stuff and explained how the Grand Meet works! bsky.app/profile/bart...

Ok so *now* they decide to do some real journalism! Congrats to @milesintransit.com @jeremyzorek.bsky.social and @sunnyswords.bsky.social for the write-up!

Last day of the running season yesterday means I just *had* to stretch out my '75 SF Zephyr consist as much as possible. Should have a few more cars (and fewer stand ins!) when the Museum reopens in the spring, too!

I spend years working there under lock and key secrecy on which parts of the Subway were real, and The Onion just comes and... tweets it out.

ok let's play a game here - which two shots in this thing were vfx shots?

Fascinating old political cartoon from 1979

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Germany needs to learn International Best Practices from a railroad with better on time performance: Amtrak. Especially its overnight and LD services. chuuchuu.com/2025wrapped

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

RESTORE IT AND RUN IT ON THE MAIN LINE

Don't worry, American Airlines - I'm always ready to GgoAAAANSUhEUgAABHoAAAEkCAIA

phew - now i can go back to hating mcdonalds for all the other reasons

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

This is model trains

So this is a new one for me...

I have seen your jokes about trans trains and they have made me giggle

"less than 1%" alcohol? come on, 1930s cough medicine - it's like you aren't even trying

Huge news for Bay Area transit, but with the bonkers rollout of this (open payments first with Clipper cards being enabled for transfers later), I'm wondering how this works with reduced fares. It'll be cheaper to pay full price (with free xfers) than the 50% off Clipper Start fare for a while!

It's Spotify Wrapped Day, and we're combing through RPA's results ... anyone else get this one?? (Full Urban Planning Wrapped dropping on our IG later today ;) )

fuck these things and fuck the dmv for letting them test in our neighborhoods and hit our pets

where's my emmy

B&H is somehow incredibly efficient and vexing. I can get whatever I ordered within two minutes of walking into the store, but the whole thing seems to run on conveyor belts and terminals running on 486 CPUs. Makes no sense.

i usually try to dress up a little bit for flying (because my grandparents did it when they flew and i think it's cute) but now i may intentionally wear sweats.

Huge news for Cities Skylines and some complex feelings for me. Colossal Order are great people and Cities 1 was the catalyst for my dream career. I've had my struggles with CS2 and I hope the new team at Iceflake can take the reins and perfect the game at long last.

show, don't tell

Alright thats enough having fun with the little circles in my phone that represent my friends and enemies, gotta get back on ym computer a d make a shitload of colorful lines

I made that little track diagram animation (or at least the first draft of it) WAAAAY back in early 2020. This might be the final thing I touched to be newly released by the MTA.
