it's surprising to me that a strike would have such a permanent effect. it says on their timeline that they also did a frequent network in 2015.

an intercity bus runs b/w dover and logan airport every 30 minutes starting at 2 am. as far as i can tell, that's the most frequent true intercity route with coaches.

(i think) tucson is the most populous city (not counting luxembourg) w/ fare-free buses. ~40th highest-ridership US bus system: 2019: 14.2MM, 2024: 15.8MM. they used to have much higher ridership. dunno why.

i think it's the general culture of architects and americans. among a network of people, these principles are plain as day and keep going as common sense w/o argument, even when they contradict personal experience. you don't know anyone who thinks differently.

my dad once said, "never ask a tall person if they play basketball. it's very annoying to them if they don't. i learned this the hard way." a very generalizable rule, but i never learned what the hard way was.

Curious about the exports controls on the things they don’t even make. As a trump linguistics watcher, I know what happened. He adds amplifying parenthetical phrases: windmills kill birds, and even bald and golden eagles, by the thousands. this one happened to be nonsensical, but is ordinary

Lots of excitement over SB 79—understandably. I would add, every single bill California YIMBY sent to the governor was signed today. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/10/g...

the argument I would make, were I to argue this, is: hours of reading or doing practice problems needed to get a decent grade has overall declined. so students have more time to go on social media. much of social media is political, so more use what they know and become activists

proud of transportation academia as regards ffpt. a policy idea started to gain interest, and new studies came out to inform the discussion with fairly consistent results. sort of how you envision academia is supposed to help things.

good semiotics here. ordinarily, you cut spending to keep tax rates low for residents and to encourage commerce. here the spending cuts are an end in-themselves. the rates are cut to prevent spending even though residents dont pay the rates and want to discourage the commerce.

slow growth final boss: Loudoun Co VA is cutting data center taxes explicitly to raise less revenue, so as to lower government spending. it isn't to encourage data centers: they're restricting them w/ regulation. they just want the "i cut spending" merit badge. www.loudounnow.com/news/county-...
