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

“One Night Cough Syrup” from the 1930s, which contained cannabis, morphine, chloroform, and alcohol! In 1934, the FDA ruled that the claims of the cough syrup's therapeutic properties were misleading, and remaining stock was destroyed.

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!
Starting Dec 10, most Bay Area transit transfers will be free for two hours. If you take AC Transit to BART then transfer to Muni, your fare today is $9.10. With Clipper 2, the free AC and Muni transfers mean your fare will be just $3.90

fuck these things and fuck the dmv for letting them test in our neighborhoods and hit our pets
On Sunday night at around 8 p.m., a Waymo ran over a small, unleashed dog in Western Addition at Scott and Eddy streets, the company has confirmed.

It is not clear whether the dog is alive.

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.
Cities journeys on with a new developer at the helm. An announcement about the future of Cities: Skylines II:

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.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.
Reporter: Today is election day in New York City. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: Look, I voted. And I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City.

Rare that big news is good news these days, but here we are!

This is a good one.
We won our lawsuit against the federal government for trying to force states to comply with its immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for transportation.

This is a major victory to protect our communities and vital infrastructure.
