Some Blog

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

It took me a solid thirty seconds to realize that Phragmites was probably the genus name of the plants in the picture and not, like, an ancient Greek warrior waiting in the marshes to attack.

what do you mean I'm a tuna salad sandwich.

My current wild idea is we should merge the NYMTA, NJtransit, PATH, PATCo Speed Line and SEPTA into one massive transit agency to improve transit coordination and planning between NYC and Philly

Isn't PATH in Toronto?

There are almost 26 million people in the joint metros of New York and Philadelphia, the rail line between them, northeast corridor between them is the busiest in the US with over 60 daily trains including both Amtrak and NJT, and the cities are only 80 miles apart, the fact that their transit systems are so disconnected and you need to go through 3 or 4 different agencies to get from Queens to Philly is a policy failure

Yeah, I want mostly referring to the regional rail and rail that goes between states, the New York Subway and Philadelphia Trolleys/Subways would remain controlled by New York and The Philly Region as it is now and the Light Rails in NJ would remain controlled by NJ. I just feel that regional rail could be handled better through a more joint approach

The LIRR is part of the NYMTA and on the map I posted...

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory

Being bad with faces makes this incredibly hard to follow

I'll probably be deactivating my twitter once this is live...

Like idk imagine this being the thing you choose to get all "RETVRN" "they took this from you" etc etc about. Our beautiful soulful organic ads vs their wicked soulless ai-generated ads.
