Unbelievably, Montreal's REM still has a top speed slower than that of marta, a system that began construction 50 years ago.
This is a reflection of how Atlanta was so ahead of its time back then, and how the anti-urbanist political machine and racism has strangled the system in the 50 years since

#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (Capable of 110 km/h). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.
The answer: yes, they are.

Why Fresh Collard Greens Are Becoming a Holiday Lifeline in These Communities
From farmers to churches, residents across the country are working together to provide free food for those in need this holiday season.

My only half-baked idea is that I don't think reporters should be allowed to work the same beat for longer than 5-7 years. I think this would solve a lot of media problems but not the case with the 20something.

This is why I work with a speaker's bureau and have a publicist. The spammers are not going to bother to go through these channels, but legit folks (book festivals, libraries, etc) will. I realize this is a privilege not every author has, nevertheless I am glad to have them vet for me.
As a librarian, this makes me very sad. We love inviting authors to our annual community read, but it's become impossible to get in touch with authors thanks to all the spam/scams out there.

Yes, and also, leave X if you have not already
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

There is a whole underworld of exploited workers who make up the foundation of digital tech. We talk about content moderators, but content farms are also very exploitative industries where moderately educated people with reasonable English skills in the global majority are used to push content.
It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The early days of Twitter, identities were easy to prove because no one understood it and, at least my circle, we connected with people based on geographical location. That meant that we were doing meetups with folks in the same city/state.
