I laughed so hard when I saw this in my inbox:

Bus Availability Updates Metro is experiencing some maintenance issues with its bus fleet. Metro's goal is to limit service disruptions as much as possible. However, some trips may be canceled if there are no other options.Ri...

So we’re dealing with “maintenance issues” impacting service levels once again. At least Metro has really improved communications around these disruptions, but the frequency of how often this keeps happening is concerning. www.cityofmadison.com/metro/routes...

I think my ESPN+ is messed up. Tried turning on the Montreal - Tampa Bay game but I’m pretty sure this is some kind of UFC fight instead.

Sign: “Go Habs Go”

The Montreal Canadiens have been my favourite team since I could talk, and are close to a religion to the French-Canadian side of my family. So of course I’m cheering for the Habs. But it’s extra motivation that I automatically hate any hockey team from Florida. #GoHabsGo #MTLvsTBL

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

I suppose DOGEbros can’t be violating federal security guidelines and best practices if you just delete the guidelines and best practices. Thats how security works, right? 🤷‍♂️

Checking links in some infosec resources I maintain, and found a nice primer on “Principle of Least Privilege” has been deleted from CISA’s website and the site as a whole is “no longer maintained”—just endless willful petty incompetence from this administration.

Glad to see they’re trying this and impressed by the range of stuff we use that’s already compostable. But man, it’s near perfect conditions compared to consumer-market composting pilots, and yet it’s still difficult!

Composting pilot at work immediately demonstrated the challenges of composting. Had to have a guy walk me through what was good to go in the bin… nearly everything, but the one item I was very sure *wasn’t* ok actually was, and an item I was pretty sure was ok wasn’t. 🙃

ok, it’s definitely a bubble

You can now view active health alerts at epicresearch.org/health-alerts.

The alerts use statistical models applied to real-world medical records to detect when the rate of a health condition in a county is higher than expected.

A line that lives rent free in my head since the first time I read this essay: “There's no point in having fuck-you money in the bank if you never say "fuck you"!”

Never in my life did I think I’d be an “InfoWars subscriber” and be overjoyed about it, but here we are… 🧅

big day for cities just across Wisconsin's border

Screenshot of poll text that reads, in relevant part: "Independent analysis shows this legislation could put over 10,000 jobs at risk in Chicago, with hundreds of small local delivery businesses forced to close or relocate. The workers most at risk at predominantly people of color in OUTER-BOROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS..."

When your industry group is commissioning a push-poll, don't forget to translate it fully to local lingo first 🤣

Questions we have about the Madison Public Market People have questions about the opening of the Madison Public Market, and answers are in short supply.

Wondering what's up with the Madison Public Market?

Same here!

Isthmus has tried since late December to schedule an interview with market CEO Keisha Harrison, who came on board with the market in July 2024. All interview requests have either been ignored or declined.

Ford CEO Draws Line In Sand: Keep Chinese EVs Out Of US – 'Should Not Let Them Into Our Country' Ford Motor Company paused its electric-vehicle growth efforts, but is pivoting to a major push in 2027.

The days with the 40+ degree temperature swings are what’s really killing me… winter jacket for the bus at 27F but shorts-and-t-shirt weather by the afternoon is a climate crime.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

ever since I was a boy I dreamed of winning the Prinx Tires™ USL Cup

Nearly forgot about the Mingo game. Saw the last push alert… 2-0 yay! Turn it on… oh no! 😬

If a transit agency resorts to surge pricing, it doesn't understand the "public" in public transit.

While #Philadelphia keeps transit fares at $2.90 to get riders to World Cup matches, New Jersey and #Boston will charge $75 and $80.

(And yes, FIFA is awful.)

*This really reads like something that a Pope in a science fiction novel would say

I work in an industry where my code is used millions of times a day. It needs to be industrial strength. The sheer attitude of "I don't know if it's good code" almost causes me physical pain.

and they only passed this law because video stores were going to out the porn-rental habits of Supreme Court justices!
