Just now realizing that I am *not* insane, and Baltimore has *two different systems* of color-coded buses.

Two completely different green routes. One free, one $2.

Two completely different purple routes. One free, one $2.

Two completely different orange routes. One free, one $2.

Guy across the aisle on the first class Acela is on a call bitching about the bike lanes where the road gets clogged up by double parked Mercedeses to pick kids up from school.

What are we doing here, Baltimore?

Ads for freeways plastered all over the @amtrak.com station.

Hey @mta.maryland.gov and @transit.app! You two should get together. I've been here a day and already 2 trains and a bus haven't been where the app said.

Making the complaint on the basis of reputational risk and fiduciary responsibility.

I knew @bradlander.bsky.social had game, but this is a whole other level.

Twelve years in the city and only today I noticed you can get regular bread for a sandwich. I always thought it was just hero, roll, or bagel.

Just yelled at a guy for driving on the sidewalk, if you're wondering how my day is going.

I feel like a lot of people care more about guessing correctly than trying to change the outcome.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Precisely this. Kirk was not engaging in actual discussion with anyone. His entire brand was baiting unprepared undergrads into providing content that he could heavily edit for use in advancing his audience's favored narrative fantasies about clueless kids.
The actual audience for these performances was not the aforementioned undergrads, but right wing donors whose grandkids no longer speak to them. The product he sold wasn’t persuasion but the vicarious fantasy of schooling the whippersnappers.

Hey @transit.app, why no data for the D?

“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.”

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.
