Public transit generates a ton of value for society that the transit providers can't capture in revenue. When critical infrastructure for health, daily life, and/or participation in government and democracy isn't accessible, it can create harm and barriers far more costly than bus service.
Why isn't the proposed Interborough Express light rail line called "New Tramsterdam"?
Doesn't need to be the WHOLE video, but I'm still curious.
Good luck 😬🤞🤞
Is there any way to opt out of my apps updating with Christmas themed icons? Like I'm not allowed to be Jewish on my own phone?
This is really amazing and also means we need to quickly reevaluate a lot of "known" findings.
Especially problematic because I can't even remember which facts in my head come from mturk studies!
Important, valid, and distressing confirmation of discrimination against mothers.
I know #FollowFriday isn't for four more hours, but give Professor Holbein a follow anyway. He's truly excellent at curating and explaining research that's interesting and/or important.
Yes, thank you 🙏
Any time. I love crossword puzzles.
Control Line and Specimen Line probably?
Just to clarify for anyone reading this: check the expiration dates online. Some tests got printed with very conservative expiration dates, and then as research showed the tests lasting longer, updated expirations got posted online, extending the usable life beyond what was originally written.
Thank you!!
Found a theme for my New Years Party.
At the risk of looking like a plant in the crowd...which of your books would make the best gift for someone going in knowing nothing but who likes your Star Trek writing?

Cover of the 2026 "love notes from nature calendar."
Got our 2026 nature calendar from Meg Lemieur and @sarahmackattack.bsky.social, and it is amazing. Beautiful, funny, interesting, and even emotionally moving. When the year is over, we are going to be saving many of these pictures. Highly recommend.
With Microsoft launching a new AI-powered Clippy, I'm going to double down on this joke.

Great idea, and remember, the best thing to give a food bank is money. They can buy groceries cheaper than you can, and they know their inventory and needs better. If you have extra food items to donate, by all means, but don't go buy things specifically for a food bank. Give them the $ directly!

The people deserve to know how the Romulans got involved in the Dominion War!
Every town needs a blogblog.
Costco is really a cheaper way to get a "nice" casket (the kind someone will try to sell you for 4k). There are more affordable caskets and coffins out there for sure, though. As for making your own...depend on how skilled you are I guess?
Not to be that guy, but you can get them for a third this price at Costco.
Erin, I want to personally thank you for the work you've done sharing info about both the mayoral candidates and antisemitism in NY and the US.
Recently had this convo:
Them: "Mamdani said antisemitic things."
Me: "No he didn't."
"How are you so sure?"
"Because Erin Biba would have told me."
