Thank you for bringing up the Transit app on @twit.tv "Macbreak Weekly" @shelly.brisbin.net

I used it today, and was curious if it was accessible for those with low or no vision. I wish they were more active here on BlueSky.

I can confirm that they have responded to my corrections about Chicago.

A really good one, folks. Hire her.
I was laid off from The Washington Post today. I know, real original sentence. My first plagiarism in 20 years of journalism.

My job was stupid fun and I loved every minute of it. I’m sad for my talented colleagues but sadder the world will not get to read, watch and listen to their amazing work.

Rosa Parks was born #OTD in 1913.

She was arrested (1955) for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white person (the law when a bus was full).

This sparked the Montgomery bus system boycott & led to the 1956 SCOTUS decision banning segregation on public transportation. #CivilRights #BHM
