Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

I can confirm that you're neither the first nor the last American to do that

One day, North American cities will learn that faregates are much more effective when you show proof of payment to exit as well as enter

Such a hard life being a europoor 😔

You know, Huntington, West Virginia would be a great small city but for the fact that much of the metro area's employment and retail has sprawled out along the stretch of US 60 just East of the city proper, which is one of the most wretched stroads I've ever escaped with my life

North Americans love to spend their lives on a dystopian treadmill working fifty hour weeks with one week's vacation to service their college, car and mortgage debt and then look down on Europeans because the number on our paychecks isn't as big

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Did you, perhaps, listen to New Year and then get the following track stuck in your head?

An article I wrote in September 8, 2011 titled "Rise is Important." The visible text reads: "I strongly believe that pants look best when they sit on, not just at, your hips. Where your pants sit on you is determined by your rise, which is the ..."

Someone on Twitter posted screenshots from the Marty Supreme film, saying "marty's whole life could be falling apart and he woudl still have a good ass outfit on." Someone retweets them and adds: This is the power of high waisted pants, my brothers.

for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.

Not an American railroad guy so this passed me by until WTYP mentioned it. PTC uses GPS?? Jesus Christ

Kind of impressive how you can go through the history of any rock band and there'll have been a dozen different members at one point or another, and not a single woman among them

Will I be the first to suggest the carbon offsets worked exactly as planned: they delayed real action for another 25 years

The pricing software/ blackrock obsession is so funny to me because it basically posits that there was no housing crisis before, like, 2018.

One-third of Angelenos do not drive Walking back the "car-free" games promise is unconscionable in a city where the people who don't drive are also the most vulnerable users of our streets

Reflections on last week's #WeekWithoutDriving in a city that still refuses to acknowledge the existence of its nondrivers — which a comprehensive new report claims make up one-third of LA's population

Some of these interchanges on the RATP are ridiculous

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

Me: I'd like to go to Avignon please :)
SNCF: *lights Gitane* Why must you make zis my problem? Can you not take ze bus?

I love how the SNCF journey planner is like 'have you considered not taking the train?'

Remember this genius innovation?

You forget Marco, this isn't for the sort of people who ride the bus, it's for the sort of people to drive. A sort of remote parking lot for downtown Toronto.

One cannot expect them to wait in an open shelter any more than one could expect a nobleman to subsist on the serfs' coarse potage!

A station that gets 6 trains per direction per day should look like Exo's stations, not like that, honestly. There are hundreds of bus stops that serve more people that need investment in fixed infrastructure more than this. Just build a platform and add 3 bus shelters.

Still, annoying I even gotta fly because Italy sucks for European rail staff discounts and trains in the Mezzogiorno are s l o w

My STN-CTA flight had held steady so I booked yesterday, today it jumped £9. My CTA-LTN flight had just gone up €25 so I waited, today there was one (1) place at the previous price.

AirHint 0, my feminine aviation intuition 2 💅

Is there anything in the world more satisfying than gaming air fare fluctuations successfully?

Don't count your blessings before they've hatched

The YIMBY movement will not rest until every town has its own Tour Montparnasse

Pistachios

Not to mention that the Federal Republic of Germany is a member state of the European Union, a federation of sorts.
