#multi-modal
Good afternoon from this beautiful multi-modal trip over the Duwamish!

I'm taking the RapidRide C Line from West Seattle to...who knows?!

I haven't gotten that far yet ;)

Fortunately, CDOT's @davidpowe.bsky.social, a champion for safe multi-modal mobility in Chicago survived a recent scooter crash. bsky.app/profile/ryan...
@davidpowe.bsky.social was in a scooter crash but he is "ay-okay!" He's being monitored due to minor brain bleeding. He says we need more PBLs!

What we really need - & I know this is a heavy lift - is an effort to get the milwaukee metro area to work together on a coherent, multi-county, integrated multi-modal mass transit plan.

Accessible, dynamic, multi-modal transport systems lacing throughout the whole country.
What's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand?

(Absurd answers only.)

We make the case for ecological foundation models: multi-modal models grounded in ecological theory, and lay out a roadmap for getting there

Come along with us to join Rylan on his multi-modal commute. 🚙🚆🚶‍♂️

How many modes of transportation do you use in a typical day? Are you watching this video during your zone out time on transit right now?

David says so:
most recent book is a multi-modal graphic history about an amateur explorer who goes to a remote jungle in the 1930s to film a "lost tribe". History, anthropology, France, Mexico, poetry, comics, for general readers and classrooms. Won a prize!

I’ve been using the new Affinity for iPad this week and I love it. It takes me back to my favorite design tool of all time: Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks. It too was multi-modal and I have missed it… until now.

Real-time multi-modal AI is a game changer! Grounding it with a live stats API is the next step to kill hallucinations. Personalized broadcasting is finally becoming a reality. 🚀

and anti-multi modal transport state laws have artificially inflated the value of single family residential zoned plots. Plus delaying assessments to 4 years.

This is how you get the paradox of tax rate + average rents declining in Raleigh even as property tax bills in Raleigh shot up by 40-60%.

While I was sleeping El Scrappo got busy building some multi modal voice+ prototypes based on DSH (deepseek harness). Woke up to video demos and a live voice interactive web app. Decent result although amusingly delivered with a thick French accent for some reason.
