.@Eurovision 2024 is a reflection of the global dynamic. The media, UN, and music elites represent the woke, oppressor, dogma while the vast majority of Europeans and Americans support Israel (and Ukraine) against the evil that is Hamas and Putin. Hence the public vote. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦

Norway threatened to boycott Eurovision if Israel participated - finished in last place.

Olly Alexander supported boycotting Israel and received 0 points from the audience.

Eden Golan finished one place ahead of the hateful Irish Blood Witch.

Karma is a bitch, so we don’t have to be 😉😘🇮🇱

[Mark Jansen @jansenMark]

Hero of the year so far. 🇮🇱

These venues shutting down from London to NY & beyond to not air a 20 year old Israeli girl singing in the Eurovision really is a cultish, xenophobic, immoral, racist, dystopian flex. We’re living in a time where the cruelest, most bigoted people genuinely see themselves as light warriors. Our collective consciousness at this juncture is so catastrophically bleak.

This is excellent

1/ @united becomes first U.S. airline to add Live Activities for 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max, giving pax real-time access to their boarding card, gate, seat number, countdown clock to departure time on their Lock Screen or while unlocked in Dynamic Island, without opening United app.

Southwest cancellations in four days from Sunday through Wednesday this week: 9,745

Delta AND United cancellations ... in the entire year of 2019: 7,226

👀 Do you see that ❓❗ It's the first train to use the newly completed railroad infrastructure at #Charlotte Gateway Station.

#NCDOT completed Phase 1 of the project on time and on budget! We can't wait to see more trains in the next few years!

Those trillions could buy us a lot of transit!!

If the USA spends as much as Qatar spent on the World Cup as a % of GDP, it would spend $28.06 trillion for the 2026 games 💀

Fall River and New Bedford voters have voted to join the MBTA, overwhelmingly passing ballot measures in each community, a final hurdle before South Coast Rail service can begin in late 2023. 🚂

Fall River
Yes- 78%
No- 22%

New Bedford
Yes- 80%
No- 20%

Would love Northern Pacific to be a success. Essentially the Icelandair of Alaska. I’d definitely be interested in a layover in Anchorage on a trip to Asia. https://t.co/CDMQZSUaCs

Obviously debatable, but this LIRR destination board at Moynihan is the best UX I’ve ever seen in the states.

This is just asking for confusion.

Shortcuts is the most powerful app on your iPhone.

Here are 7 shortcuts to make your life easier:

But this isn’t enough. A review is needed on how exactly inventories of car locations are managed. Sometimes it can just be a paper based note. There must be a better way.

This is a serious and worrying example of what could theoretically happen on any railroad… https://t.co/RPYuJ8RSTy

The NTSB indicates the ongoing investigation will focus on UP dispatcher operating procedures; rules and procedures regarding the long-term storage of railcars; and UP’s signal and train-control system.
