Damn it's crazy there's no other way to power trains.
Norfolk Southern’s CFO “said fuel prices at the present time are like something out of ‘science fiction.’”

Going insane trying to find a way to get HO scale figures that actually represent diverse places and era-specific clothes...
Turns out it's not great that both major figure manufacturers are just Germans - they have more types of nude figures than they have non-white train passengers.

If you're reading this, be the artist, organization, museum, publication, that never ended up using AI. So, after this dumb moment passes, we don't have to look upon you with further suspicions about what other corners you're cutting.
Thanks.

Good morning from Everett! I am about to start my first attempt at an ORCA speedrun: traveling on every mode of fixed-route transit offered by each of the nine agencies in the ORCA pod. This journey will require taking at least 13 buses, 4 boats, and 4 trains throughout Puget Sound.

You may only think the National Highway System are interstates, but *tons* of urban streets are part of it. This bill would eliminate the bike lanes on Market St in SF, Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, the BRAND NEW 14th St bike lanes in Oakland, and many more key bike corridors.
Guys, this is for real. Senate GOP and the administration want to pass a law that outlaws bikelanes on the 160K mile National Highway System.
Imagine if adding protected bikelanes to many arterials would suddenly be against the law. Let’s not allow this.

ACTION ALERT 🚨
Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue!

I don't think this has anything *really* to do with why NYC felt so fake in the movie (when you have to shoot the whole city in a 3-block part of Glasgow, you really don't get the vibe right), but it's absolutely a bad look.
The art book for ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ reveals that generative AI was used in concept design of NYC for the film.
