The NJT 62 bus hasn't been nearly as reliable/good since they opened Terminal A and it blew the headways and travel times out of whack with this convoluted route around the airport...

Unironically, I think Matt Yglesias should run for mayor of DC. I think he would learn a lot from the process.

Sometimes the major issue in a public agency is "who has the authority to approve this?" and when there's no clear answer that's enough to stop something.

Future FBI Director Eric Adams
KASH PATEL ON FIRING WATCH, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, REPEAT KASH PATEL ON FIRING WATCH
President Trump may have had enough of Kash Patel, according to sources
The president is weighing whether to oust the FBI director after scrutiny of Patel's stewardship of bureau resources, including his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet.

This is a phenomenal example of how people advocating for the "character of the neighborhood" are often actually advocating to *change* the character to be less dense and more suburban. Which, if you go play with the city's n'hood GIS explorer, is what has happened all over Boston!

Transit operators can’t control the traffic and the schedule, but they can control if they leave the terminal on time.
Currently sitting on a @mta.info bus at the origin terminal 6 minutes past schedule departure time while the driver stands outside finishing her cigarette and phone conversation. There's zero reason for this.

The MTA is negligent in making no effort to install these, but massive jury verdicts are the worst way to do cost-benefit analyses. Platform screen doors are complex to retrofit, and the lack of them is tied to political pressure to never cut crew staffing (which are a major benefit of screen doors)
MTA has started to pay the price for procrastinating on the three-station pilot for platform screen doors, first announced in 2022. ny1.com/nyc/brooklyn...
MTA ordered to pay $81.7 million to woman struck by subway in Brooklyn
The jury determined that the MTA had failed to install safety barriers or other protective devices.

Trump went on a late night posting bender last night on the war in Ukraine. He criticized Biden, he criticized the U.S., he criticized Ukraine, he criticized Zelensky, he criticized our European allies. The only person he didn’t criticize is Putin. Only Putin.

You are hereby reminded that Berkeley could have had Pixar. Steve Jobs wanted to specifically place Pixar HQ near the "creative and intellectual center of Berkeley." But at the same time Berkeley created the West Berkeley Plan to maintain little hobbit workshops instead of attracting real business.
Undoubtedly. Pixar, and the others. Look at my assessment density map. Emeryville sticks out for how many huge, valuable parcels they have.

I know this is real insider baseball but discharge petitions (when a majority of the House forces a vote on something the Speaker doesn't want a vote on) is a sign that the party (Republicans in this case) is flailing.
Five discharge petitions have succeeded since Johnson became speaker.
That’s more than the prior three decades, says Politico: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
