Bordeaux's trams are 👌
Bordeaux was probably the French tram network that most resembled in its design the idea of modern french trams as "2D metros", i.e. with lines that are operationally independent.
It's now moving to a more interlined structure, as more and more French systems are doing.

Just came across the “bean soup theory” & feel resonance.
Someone shared a bean soup recipe online & people commented ‘I don’t like beans’ & ‘can I substitute the beans’.
It’s now become a byword for individualism & the self-centred internet. Not everything is about you.

this but also people getting onto the tube/trains before people have exited. wait your fucking turn you selfish bastards, there’ll be more room if you do!!!
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I thought I'd take the opportunity to put together a website representation of these new Rail Clocks which launched yesterday.

And, don't worry, it does have the special flourish every 12 hours!
