@supersat@TheORCACard Even for regular ORCA cards, you can't charge multiple fares onto one card anymore. So you *have* to pay cash or have multiple cards to pay for your dog.
@transitapp@SoundTransit something about how this alert is coded in the realtime data is causing the entire line to show up as suspended in Transit App. Can't even bypass it to view the schedules. not good!
@KingCountyMetro do you have any info about the lack of realtime data on a handful of bus routes, including the G Line? Since the G rarely runs on a rigid schedule I'm finding it very difficult to use, especially in the evenings. And I haven't seen any info about the data outage

Like clockwork, commentators interpret elections as ideological mandates. Trump wins, so voters hate progressives and want conservatism.
Here's why that's wrong.
1) It doesn't help explain why parties *of all ideologies* lost vote share post-COVID.
@TaylorMatthewD I like your thread but I take issue with this. He doesn't have a democratic mandate- he won with 1% and all the downballot stuff moved left. And the country is very split religiously. 22% non religious + many non practicing Christians. Not like India, Turkey, Hungary.
@lxeagle17 Thanks. I appreciated this. I need more people posting optimistic takes instead of just doom and gloom. It's hard to be told "that's it, we're doing fascism now. gg" and then still motivate myself to get up and live my life.
Forgive the soapboxing. My only personal thoughts on what’s next. No prescriptions, no blame. Not qualified for that. Just my loose prior for what comes, as someone who thought Trump had a very good shot of getting back into office with a trifecta.
Everybody keep your heads up. This isn’t forever, and after America gets a taste of what it voted for, there will likely be a massive backlash.
There will be lots of time to come, and I’m still in the trenches with you. Just going to take a bit longer.
@cruickshank I hope this just 4 years of shitty policy from a government too incompetent to accomplish its true goals. I'm hoping the story we've been told was an exaggeration. I think that's the only way I'll be able to sleep at night
