Yeah, its really lost in the sauce thinking, very delusional. If I found out he did do more than skim the ST presentation and report, I would honestly be a bit surprised

These are my personal in-depth feelings

A democrat just flipped an R+22 state house seat in suburban/rural Georgia south of Athens.

Democrats faced a number of special elections tonight in Florida, Iowa, and Georgia and performed about 10-20 points better than they did in 2024

Hi all! I'm hosting a Link Speedrun!
If youre available, we will be starting at St Joseph Station at 12:00PM on Saturday

If you can only join for a segment or two, I will be posting updates on where we are on my Bluesky

The high variability of the 2 Line is interesting. I believe this has to do with the low ridership and relatively few major companies served meaning things happening at those companies have an excised impact on day-to-day ridership. This is further supported by the relatively low weekend...

The 2 Line continues to show strong ridership growth post Downtown Redmond Link Extension seeing 12k weekday average boardings in October

The 1 Line seems to be where the data error is from but even if that isnt an error, the 1 Line is up roughly 25k daily over pre-Lynnwood ridership. If that is a data error it is up 35-40k daily over pre-Lynnwood

Preliminary October Link Ridership dropped and while there does seem to be a data issue in the last week (this is normal for initial drops) Link is putting up incredibly strong numbers for a disconnected 42-mile system
