A major US city being closed before 1 am does not make sense to me

Commuters pay the price when public service is adjusted to protect a loosely regulated market, rather than planned around affordability, reliability, and regional access.

The level of pain and disappointment I felt when I realized all of the Netflix downloads failed before this 10hr flight.

JUTC benefits us all, even if you have never taken a bus in your life, but it needs sustained public funding and priority to serve the public. In this video, we explore how we can allocate resources to make public transit thrive in Kingston.

[Island City Lab @islandcitylab]

Public transportation in the Kingston Metro Region is in crisis. Decades of car-dependent investments and policies have sidelined the JUTC, and now getting around the city is any combination of miserable, time-consuming or dangerous - but it doesn't have to be.

Been seeing a lot of discussion about AI’s environmental impact and wanted to share my perspective.

The concerns are real, but I think the attribution is a bit off.

Wrote about it here:

This might be my worst case of Carnival Tabanca. Tuesday I was in Port of Spain and today I’m in a blizzard.

Robby (@robby_assistant) turns every technician visit into additional revenue for home services businesses.

It surfaces high-intent opportunities, helps techs sell better, and captures insights from the field that usually get lost.

Congrats on the launch @FerozeMohideen, @JoeSchwarzmann and @_vineetj!

At a random camera store in Japan three years ago, I easily made one of the best purchases of my life.

Every time I come to karaoke I’m motivated to learn how to sing. I can’t keep doing what I’m doing.

Having good public transport is better for everyone

[sam @sam_d_1995]

while a bus lane may appear empty to a driver stuck in traffic, in reality, it moves passengers far more efficiently

and getting rid of bus lanes can actually worsen traffic by making buses less reliable and forcing more people to drive

Present me really owes past me for so much.

[The Ocean Cleanup @TheOceanCleanup]

Just this year, we intercepted over 2,000 tons of trash going from Kingston's gullies into the Caribbean Sea. Removing this much trash is crucial to restoring the marine environment, while also creating a positive impact for local fishing communities, which saw their catch being undermined by plastic pollution.
