When will JTA finally give up this boondoggle? Autonomous pods are not a transit solution and will never replace good bus service and rail.
We’re excited to welcome HOLON with open arms to Jacksonville. Our city will soon be home to the nation’s first production plant for purpose-built autonomous electric shuttles. (1/3)

@wmatagm.bsky.social why are Metro Transit PD officers wearing face masks when patrolling stations? This doesn't build trust with the community.

If you're looking for an American version of a "middle age blokes talking" podcast, I can't recommend the Unauthorized History of the Pacific War enough. Bringing together historians and career navy officers to talk about this stuff results in great listening.

The problem with protests in DC is that, regardless of what the event is, RevCom somehow manages to take every single one of them over.
You show up thinking that you're gonna protest the National Guard deployment, and find yourself trapped next to someone mumbling about Bob Avakian
