@pacsurfalerts @MetrolinkOC
Surfliner 765 holding at Anaheim due to unspecified BNSF delays ahead 😖

@SanDiegoPD why there a helo circling my neighborhood? Where can I go to find out?

[IT @eye_tee]

@GoNCTD the lights on NB platform at Solana Beach are out

[IT @eye_tee]

@SolidEvidence I got it as a booster for fewer side effects. I also read somewhere a suggestion that mix-n-match different platforms tickle different parts of immune system with perhaps some hybrid benefit. I’ve had all three platforms and am still NOVID so…. 🤷‍♀️

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners 765 left San Diego 45m late. Maybe this is a WFH day.

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners 774 locomotive has died a few minutes outside of Solana Beach. NO traction, no HEP. Conductor thinks we’ll need to be rescued by another train.

@PacSurfliners 765 almostban hour late into LA 😤😡

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners This is ridiculous. We did this for 4months last year—ride reserve worked.

I have a 10ride tkt from SOL to LAX and you r trolls say I have to use 3segments one way be cause of the bus bridge .

Do you even hear your self?

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners I have a multi ride ticket with 2 segments left. After 45min on the phone a I am unable to book a RT to LAX from San Diego b/c they want to charge me a hit for each separate segment —3hits for one direction (to OSD, bus to IRV, to LAX).

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners I drove. All you have to do is fix online Ride Reserve. It shows the bridge service as not requiring a reservation which necessitates a call to reservation agent. Why it took them 30m to tell me the 784 was sold out is another question.

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners I hold a multiride ticket SD-LA. your online ride reserve doesnt work (all trains show no res required(. I call, every time it at least 30min W/ the agent. And then the service is sold out. So I have to drive and cant use my multi ride THAT I ALREADY PAID FOR.

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners could you please get the ride reserve site working? I dont have 30m to spend on the phone every time I need to schedule a trip tonLA.

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners @PacSurfliners took nearly 30min on phone to get a reservation & they till me to call back after my travel because other wise they will hit my 10 ride separately for EACH SEGMENT and they ll have to manually reverse that. WTAF. I’ll be driving to Laguna for @MetrolinkOC

[IT @eye_tee]

Hey @PacSurfliners @Amtrak I am trying to book the bus bridge from OSD to IRV next week on ride reserve with a multi ride ticket. It shows the correct itinerary but says no reservation required for multi ride and wont let me book.

[IT @eye_tee]

@PacSurfliners Hi I am still having trouble booking ride reserve for Multi ride ticket. The system apparently does not think that these trains require confirmation. You guys did this before so I’m not sure why it does t work. I dont want to get stuck without a reservation so WTAF.

[IT @eye_tee]

Heads up Amtweeps, the tracks are closing in San Clemente again

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books.

The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development.

These aren’t ‘woke donations.’

They are contracts. Proposed, reviewed, awarded, with metrics and deadlines and standards of performance.

Harvard is a government contractor in that sense — lab by lab, scientist by scientist — just the way any other company is a contractor.

That’s true of Columbia’s $400 million in ‘frozen’ contracts — and all the rest.

R1 research universities do crucial research the federal government can’t do itself, but that we as a nation have decided we need done.

Mission driven. Pioneering. Essential.

They can’t be done — as Sean Hannity just suggested — at community colleges & vocational schools.

That’s not what the $2.2 billion is being spent on.

…You could Google it. Of course.
