@humantransit I'd also like to catch a train across the street from my house to take me to work 10 minutes away, and to anywhere else in the city.
But also don't want to see or hear the train from my house.

@HWestjet1CS5 I'm not going to post my ticket details at a random twitter account. If you're actually WestJet you should be able to look me up by name. Adam Berkan. There's only one.

[Adam Berkan @berkan]

Hey @WestJet , your broken plane made me miss my connection 12 hours ago, but you still haven't rescheduled me. This is not my idea of a good vacation. I want to know when I'm leaving, but don't want to spend another 3h on the phone or another hour waiting to talk to an agent.

@RM_Transit Will it be another Mirabel?

[Adam Berkan @berkan]

AI I actually want: Read/watch this clickbaity thing and tell me if it's worth watching. Best part is the AI can be real simple: Just Say No! Of course it only works if I don't KNOW it always says no, so I need someone else to make it for me.

The 12th consecutive of its kind, in fact

May 2024 was the warmest on record

The circled dots in the beeswarm chart are the most recent 12 months

@mattyglesias Where's Biden's basement when he needs it.

@calgarytransit Can I bring a bike on the replacement busses?

[Adam Berkan @berkan]

@dgdvision Fair enough

@Nerd4Cities Come visit Calgary. It's about 75F outside, and there are kids playing in the lake. Also there's still some ice on the lake.

[Adam Berkan @berkan]

@Nerd4Cities Wonkery is great. I wish I could play with the spreadsheet and tweak parameters. BTW, how did Calgary-Edmonton pencil out?

[Adam Berkan @berkan]

Hi nerds! A couple talks I've given are online now. If you're inclined to listen to me talk about programming:

@johngreen The combination of dedication to the bit, and dedication to curing TB... It's really John all wrapped up in one amazing thing.

@BrilliantMaps Chinese aren't very friendly

@mattyglesias This assumes the transit agency is running lines anywhere close to capacity. Most lines in North America don't run anywhere close to that.
