Casualties from this morning's earthquake. We will rebuild.

Woah - turns out when I have a dream about an earthquake, an earthquake happens. No other way to explain that.

LET'S GO OAKLAND

Fun muni heritage filled with a plethora of cameras

Truly baffling.

Oh hey, wanna hear about my grad thesis and time working in tourism (and why that time was not as long as I had planned)? Sure you do!

This is not a joke and also not a drill. Watch this space

There is just no amount of crime happening now that at all justifies an armed invasion of American cities by the American military. It's a bunch of bullshit, and Democrats should be screaming this from the rooftops.

Finally, a 1975 San Francisco Zephyr that actually feels like a 1975 San Francisco Zephyr thanks to the 3/4 dome. Next up, more sleepers and a really unique bag-dorm. Weathering done by @interurbanera.bsky.social, interiors and research done by myself.

Jet Set Rail-dio I'm all in.

So here's a fun one for the long-time bsq-heads: I got close to doing this for the MTA as well back in 2019, with a plan to shoot it summer 2020. The big problem there wasn't security but just the time commitment to shoot the whole system. Hey @mta.info - maybe it's time to give it go?

They put me in the news again! www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

This type of dense, walkable, orbital urbanism is illegal to build in much of California.

it's the cars. they're too big.

On an average weekday more people use the NYC metro system (3,625,326) then live in Iowa (3,241,488)

you'll love this Berlin transit researcher's bluesky if you like urbanism and also how Israel has done nothing wrong and the backlash to its genocide is a global conspiracy to deny the Holocaust

My turn. Get ready for some lukewarm takes.

As a big fan of the rest of the franchise, Fast X was such an unbelievable disappointment.

Nuance only a modeler can appreciate
