Grabbed these from the depths of my desk ahead of the weather. Can you believe The Metro flashlight is still working?!

We will discuss a bike lane for literally years and require a dozen public meetings, but taking on $600m in debt requires a week and next to zero public input, especially after we overwhelmingly voted no two years ago!

A black and white photo of Katherine Johnson, the "Hidden Figure" that sent man into space

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Lost another couple trees in Gillham Park. This one landed on a tree further down the hill.
Found a couple pottery/plate shards at the upturned base.

Pastor......yes. Support your local indy/garage band. Go see their shows. Get involved. The pit is for everyone.

All I can think of is the fools in Downtown and Midtown Kansas City doing street shows… Does that whip up the tornados too?

I will would rather get answers from these sources before I take one from ai:

- WebMD
- The dictionary
- Select clergy members
- My mom and what I think my dad would have said
- My cat

Real-time arrivals We've got to improve the way we deliver transit information before millions more people get here

Between the record-shattering heat and an outage that wiped out Metro's real-time updates, it was not an easy week for LA's transit riders. But @transit.app helped fill information gaps by crowdsourcing data from riders to supply fairly reliable data for those of us out there waiting for buses

Blocking isn’t enough anymore. I’m putting curses on people.

Now that’s a blast from the past for KC public transit.

"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

Probably could get trains AND healthcare.

Where are the people using hashtags? I’m glad we’re are still alive, but I had to watch broadcast television. Like it was the 1990s.

therapist: now what is it called when you can’t take it anymore, if you keep taking” me; a good girl? therapist: oh my god no

debatable.

I’m seeing a lot of posts starting with “I know there’s a lot going on right now, but please don’t ignore what’s happening with…”
Whew.
I am just so tired.

Hahaha! Good one.
I did clutch my pearl snaps a little. I was expecting family lore and sticking it to the man and a little depression and was surprised. Not the D to the G.

having a great time texting about JBS

I wish these kids weren't so Apple-obsessed because it's keeping them from recognizing a true star:

Bad Bunny in a field Light poles behind him

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

Every single one.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I think one of the best things about Bad Bunny’s performance is that it was so *specific*. It so clearly had a point of view coming from real lived experience and actual emotion, actual heart, not cynical calculation. Just beautiful.

¡Es culpa tuya, conejito malo!

Did…Mike Tyson just call me fat because RFK Jr paid him to? WTF

What made it such a great show is that it was entertaining and layered and explicitly political with excellent music, delightful surprise guests, stunning sets, a clear narrative, a shout out to ALL of the Americas and a cameo from Belcalis.

😆

I'm no expert on rural medicine, but I can immediately think of a better way.
