The Silicon Valley BART extension will cost $13B for 10km ($1.3B/km)
Milan is building fully automated metro lines for $170M/km, less than 15% the cost vs. the US.
We need to learn from Italy to lower US transit construction costs so we can go on a transit building spree.
In Minnesota, a nonpartisan candidate is running for state supreme court, saying he wants an "independent judiciary." His social media history strongly clarifies his political preferences.

Is there a way to use “old Google”? I don’t want to generate an AI search and contribute to ecological devastation every time I look something up. And the info that’s shoved at the top is often incomplete or inaccurate. Can I opt out?
I *love* this quote from Pontevedra's mayor, Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores:
"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."
We now have actual evidence on California's fast food sector $20 minimum wage:
• Wages increased by 18% for fast food workers
• Zero impact on employment
• Modest passthrough to prices (15 cents on a $4 burger) with the rest borne by business owners
Hurricane Helene was not just catastrophic, it was a historic storm for the entire southeast and Appalachia.
We're mobilizing every resource to ensure displaced families can begin to return home and devastated communities can begin to rebuild.
My Administration has your back.
Reporter: In retrospect… do you wish you had spent the weekend here in Washington instead of Delaware
Biden: Come on. Stop with the game will you.. It’s 90 miles from here. I was on the phone the whole time
On Wednesday, I'll travel to North Carolina for a briefing at the State Emergency Operations Center and to participate in an aerial tour of Asheville.
I've ensured my travel will not disrupt the ongoing response.
I plan to travel to Georgia and Florida as soon as possible.
Reporter: Trump has accused you of ignoring—
Biden: He's lying and the governor told him he was lying. I've spoken to the governor.. I don't know why he does this and the reason I get so angry about it, I don't care about what he says about me, but I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are. I assume you heard the Republican Governor of Georgia talk about that. He was on the phone with me more than once. So that's simply not true.
And it's irresponsible.
Trump: Yeah, Biden was totally sleeping. Kemp couldn't reach him.
Kemp: He literally called me yesterday afternoon and asked what I needed and told me to call him directly if I need anything.
Reporter: There you have it. Two perspectives. A divided country. Alas.
As president, I’ve heard dozens of stories from survivors about how it feels to be left with nothing, and to not even know where to begin to get back on track.
I am here to tell every single survivor in these impacted areas that we are here for you for as long as it takes.
Just a reminder. GW literally had to post a public statement that the Imperium of Man are not the good guys, because people can't read
And hilariously... Even THIS was too difficult to grasp for some:
