Inspired by cities with real, expansive transit systems, I’ve created an updated @CATSRideTransit fantasy map. It consists of Light Rail, Streetcars, Commuter Rail, Amtrak, BRT, and monorail.
Below is an Area Map, a System Map, and an Uptown reference map.
Jet lag increased my biological age by ~13 years.

Traveled across 7 time zones, Los Angeles to Australia.
Grip strength predicts mortality better than almost anything you can measure at home.
A published study of a comparable eastbound flight found the same pattern, about a 7% morning drop.
Serious question: What happens when an ambulance or fire truck can’t get through because the street has been narrowed down to a single lane for bike infrastructure?
Look at this mess.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Kaitlan Collins: Is the $1.8B slush fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: Uhhh I'd have to ask the lawyers, I don't know. It's a beautiful thing. It's the greatest thing. Be quiet. She used to be a conservative from Alabama
Collins: I'm still from Alabama
Good news. The clerk sent a message to Charlotte City Council today saying the city will now proactively post who applies to be Charlotte Mayor.
38 people have already applied. Here’s the list so far
Collins: Just to clarify. is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: I'd have to ask the lawyers. I don't know. People like you have abused our people.
Collins: But Republicans—
Trump: Be quiet. You should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be conservative from Alabama. CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it'll straighten it out. It’s hard to straighten garbage out.
Hey @SecDuffy you should fund this to show up those dumb liberals in California that REAL HARDWORKING PATRIOTS in South Cackalackey can build high speed rail better than them Gobbless and Grass Clibbins.
Madrid and Barcelona are 126 miles farther apart than Houston and San Antonio. They see 238 trains a week between them and arrive in 3 hours.
Houston and San Antonio get 3 trains a week and it takes 5-hours.

An unprecedented decision: The NC State Board of Education's Independent Interscholastic Athletic Appeals Board has overturned the viral disqualification of Mallard Creek track star Nyan Brown in the NCHSAA 8A state championship meet.

This is something I would be very behind. We have a real opportunity to utilize our existing rail ROW in several directions in Charlotte. The same train line that the blue line runs alongside runs through Main Street in both Fort Mill and Rock Hill.
#BREAKING: The SBI has charged former Shelby Police Officer Karson Hyder with misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury.
This comes after video shows him punching a woman multiple times during an arrest.
Here's his mugshot. He has already posted a $10,000 bond.
Out of breath while running? Swim laps.
Legs burning during intervals? Supplement with bike workouts.
Constant injuries? Build in a strength training routine.
For most, running is often done best & performance improves when complimented with other training.
@AmericanAir Hey, so actually it didn’t until half of the incoming plane had gotten off.
In that time, if the app were updated immediately, I could have walked slower and gotten food during my layover
I don’t even care that @AmericanAir is constantly delayed. I just want the app to be honest, so I can plan accordingly.
When you aren’t deplaning the incoming flight until 7 minutes after scheduled boarding time, you can update the app.
In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.
