So the Southside Rail pivot is ALSO phase 2? I don't want to understate this but the #Atlanta Mayor's office is basically claiming the original 2018 More MARTA project list as their own vision, with the subtle change of delaying (prob eventually killing) trailside Eastside Rail.

If you saw the ‘no ads, weapons, genocides, Microsoft Teams’ slide: that was from my talk yesterday at #NBPy.

It’s more about the list I wanted to make for myself, and why I ended up doing what I do.

It's insane that climate change deniers exist when we get headlines like this. #climatechange

84% of the world's coral reefs hit by worst bleaching event on record

Harmful bleaching of the world’s coral has now grown to include 84% of the ocean’s reefs in the most intense event of its kind in recorded history. That's according to the International Coral Reef Initiative. Warming oceans cause corals to expel the colorful algae living inside of them, putting the coral at risk of death. Healthy corals are essential for seafood production, jobs and coastline protection worldwide. Scientists say it's essential to reduce greenhouse gases that are the main driver of atmospheric warming. Last year was the warmest on record, and much of that heat is going into oceans.

Anyone ever done a transcontinental #amtrak trip? I'm considering one for work because I swore off flying, but also I've heard it's kinda a nightmare. #transit

I hate these types of publications. These aren't "weeds", they're essential to pollinators and biodiversity. Besides, you're not 17th century royalty and don't need a lawn of pristine green grass.

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/)

File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

(It seems the image on the right is a rendering to show how this "would" work. Not a real photo. Updating again to correct image description to reflect, heh, this.)

To Avoid Deer Strikes, Finland Is Painting Deer Antlers With Reflective Paint

Attempts to keep motorists from hitting animals usually center around making cars and roads safer, but the Finns are heading straight to the source
