Sic Transit PHL

Identity, whether gender or nationality or any other, is an individual choice; fluid, contingent, and perhaps multiple. This is the only way to live at peace in a Free society, and is therefore a non-negotiable demand on every State, backed by force.
My r/neoliberal heart was expecting Mark Carney; Ezra Klein at worst. I will *very much* take this. britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...
Energysky, help me out. The spot price of electricity in Greater Philadelphia keeps spiking to absurd heights, but it's happening off-off-peak; the first peak starts after 22:30 and the second, taller peak is over before 0:45. What's happening here? (📷: screenshot of the PJM app)
We must imagine Sisyphus a gym bro. (h/t @theforestjar.bsky.social )
No surprises here. Looking forward to another year of the fantastic @transit.app !
The fact that you live in the one place where the housing crisis is least acute (because it has high incomes and *also* relatively high building rates) has broken your brain.
My goodness, Conshohocken (as viewed from the train station platform) is beautiful. We should definitely be building more apartments and running more, not fewer, trains out here.
Today is a personal milestone; Route L used to be my secret sauce for getting to or beyond Chestnut Hill cheaply and expeditiously, but today is my first time taking its successor, Route 51.
Or they could do what this Tesco's I recently visited does. (These two photos are taken from the same spot, with the photographer (me) rotated 90º.) ( #IngressActualGameplayFootage )
But point 1 flows directly from point 2. Your money isn't going to fund the ground rent on redundant parking lot.
One of the main problems with privatized rail: balkanization of the off-peak. This train is going from where I am, to where I'm going, damn near empty because it's well after dark. But because my ticket says "Transport for Wales" and not "Avanti West Coast", I wait another 40 minutes.
I might still be in England, but my train has already crossed the linguistic border.
Thus it was that the Government Code and Cipher School came to 50 acres in Bletchley Park, adjacent to the station where the Varsity Line crossed the West Coast Main Line.
What's more surprising is that this uptake is happening where the infrastructure quality quickly veers from gold-plated to shit and back (by American standards!) Large parts of the city center are car-free, and there's contraflow lanes and filtered permeability everywhere.
