While I've engaged with the "nothing's gotten better in the last 40 years" discourse elsewhere, I will also note that I wouldn't have survived infancy had I been born just a year or two earlier, and that has only improved substantially since then.

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
Anyone have an RTL-SDR dongle they want to plugin and set-up with readsb, run setup-station.sh, and then leave the dongle plus the server in this git repo running for a few days? Bonus points if in the Boston area so when I finish development on the aggregation layer, I can kick tires on de-dupping?

Tess is Surviving the Horrors@mothmother.com · 5d agoI started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

I've finally figured out what bothers me so much about AI voice interviews. The timing and pacing has improved significantly over the last year, but the one thing that's still missing - and is likely to remain so - is reciprocity.
the president refusing to defend a state against the nation he started a war with is, like, kind of the biggest thing, you know? kinda sails right past "impeachable" and into darker territory.
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
Made the mistake of clicking on a LinkedIn job posting for a Sr. Engineering Manager with Guidewire in San Mateo before deciding it wasn't that interesting to me, and now my feed is being saturated with promoted posts for Guidewire training...
It's truly magical. I had no idea that it had been a highway, but in retrospect its layout makes sense.
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 2w ago“Everyone thought it would create gridlock.” It didn’t. “It’s difficult to imagine that just over 20 years ago, this was an elevated highway carrying 168k cars daily through South Korea’s capital.” Now it’s a world famous people-place. They’ve since removed 16 more elevated highways in the city.

it's also a deeply cynical backdoor way to attack university funding, since foreign students frequently pay full tuition.

If you're in Seattle, don't miss this event at Elliott Bay Book Company on Thursday (7/16): Theo Downes-Le Guin will be in conversation with author and editor Nisi Shawl about The Curve of the World, Vonda N. McIntyre's final novel, which was recently published by Aqueduct Press.
Most of the federal agency science budgets goes into the salaries of students and trainees, and the decision to take that money and instead give it to industry and already rich venture capitalists is fundamentally a decision to have many fewer scientists and do far less science in the future.
I don't know how common they are in other parts of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, but I saw my first Hindu-supremacist-coded car decal today around Menlo Park, one of the large "angry Hanuman" ones, and it gave me the ick.
