I updated my Canada-wide intercity transportation map for the end of 2025. I added a few new or previously-missed services, but this year, too many routes in Ontario disappeared. seanmarshall.ca/2025/12/10/c...
Canadian intercity transport at the end of 2025
Some progress and some disappointing losses in Canada’s intercity transportation links in 2025.

If you are near Philadelphia, have 123 dollars, and roughly 28 cubic feet of space to store 1,600 VHS tapes in reasonably climate controlled conditions until I can get up there, I will retrieve this collection of almost guaranteed vital archival value and digitize its entirety.

This opinion from E.D. Mich. on Rule 11 and generative A.I. is an absolute *banger*. law.justia.com/cases/federa...
The court specifically explains why the problem of A.I. is not limited to "hallucinating" case citations. Even plausible legal "analysis" *from an A.I.* is trouble!

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
