@ryanweather Have you looked into Bluesky yet? Seems like a natural fit for a meteorologist

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Just in case you needed a reminder of all the LIFE you can fit into cities when you rethink streets for cars. Space for green & nature that supports great urbanism, and space for PEOPLE!

@BrianKarem Normal pattern for trump, start with the thing he’s worried about most and project onto his opponent. He’s talking about himself in that first sentence

Housing density is critical to making transit work

@jayrosen_nyu @oliverdarcy CNN was good when it reported actual news 24/7.

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

[Pat Cavlin @pcavlin]

No words.

Yet again - #Milton has exceeded the NHC peak forecast and now has sustained winds of 175 mph.

With a central pressure of 911 mb... Milton is now one of the most intense hurricanes on record in the Atlantic.

“The Economist has found that, for every life the heaviest 1% of suvs or trucks saves in America, more than a dozen lives are lost in smaller vehicles. This makes traffic jams an ethics class on wheels.”

A lot of our problems in our cities can be traced back to this

Remember, the next time an objector points out an “empty bike-lane,” tell them it’s because they’re efficient. This stretch in #Copenhagen conveys 8 times as many people on bikes compared to cars - but it's mostly jammed cars that we see. HT @anderspreben

@humantransit Regardless of battery reliability, a full diesel bus is more efficient than an empty electric.

@gtconway3d It should be obvious that in a year or two, it’s going to be weekend at Bernie’s regardless of which candidate wins. Which side do Americans want to leave pulling the strings is the question needing more attention.

[Chris Wyczalkowski @wycz1]

@mwgarbett LOL, Sea Wolf. To be fair they have good drinks and oysters, but also these gourmet hot dogs, that are just a little expensive.

[Chris Wyczalkowski @wycz1]

@mwgarbett I paid $18 for a hot dog this past weekend on Tybee Island.

@the_transit_guy Now, imagine you connect those town centers to each other with public transit.

[Chris Wyczalkowski @wycz1]

@JeffDelp @AtlantaBeltLine Without wading into the rail on the beltline debate, the people out on a day like this are there for a walk.

[Yunhan Zheng @zhengyunhan_mit]

Our new study on @NatCities quantified the causal effects of remote work on car and transit travel across the entire US. We found that transit ridership was more affected by remote work than car travel: https://t.co/gs5UKswwwe, with @MITTransitLab @JimAloisi

@JeffDelp @IamKingWilliams MARTA station over CSX rail is a connectivity amenity e.g. Edgewood Candler Park and Inman Park. Density near a MARTA station is obviously the higher the better. But, ideally wherever the stations are placed there are already parcels of publicly owned land for affordable housing

4/ Harvard's study on Adult Development is the most comprehensive, long term study of what makes for a happy life.

It's not money or career success that best predict happiness. It's connection - stable, fulfilling relationships with other people. https://t.co/7LnRe4CXWA
