Finally!

Amtrak's Adirondack, which links #Montreal to #NYC, will resume service on Sept. 9/10.

(Apparently, though, the track work is ongoing.)

Believe it or not, the effect of summer heat on the tracks is the main issue.

«If the single most influential person in AI is Sundar Pichai, who operates a search engine monopoly, and uses that monopoly to do things like thrust before its billions of users an AI program that says it’s a good idea to add glue to pizza and to eat a small number of rocks and that a dog has played in the NBA, I think that’s clarifying.» - @brianmerchant

Exactly why armored personal vehicles. We can't get sensible gun control. Drive a big fat V8 with armor plate.

I try to avoid boosting #Trump's insane ramblings, but having just read this one, I feel the need to ask:
Who is writing Trump's social media postings?
It's pretty clear from watching Trump speak recently in public that the linked posting is more coherent than he is capable of.
We must conclude that someone very close to Trump is just as deluded and/or just as eager to destroy our democracy.
Shouldn't the media be asking these questions?

I wouldn't argue about Miller's ability to do it...or anybody's technical ability to do it from anywhere. But I don't think anyone could have enough of Trump's trust—or get a feel for the "right" thing to put out on his behalf—without that person regularly & continuously being in his presence to understand what is going on minute to minute. I don't know that - that is what I think.

I'd say the Masked Singer is a better candidate. It even had Giuliani on it. 🤔

It has succeeded but not to the degree of synchronized swimming or the Eurovision contest.

One, fuck this dude, and two, looking forward to the inevitable movies about this era in which he is (accurately) shown as the corrupt racist shit bag politician trying to keep the kind and honest grandma from voting and fuming impotently when she does it anyway (ps: register to vote, Texas gran-grans and everyone else down there)

Telling my friend about DOC #surfactant in creek. He was worried at first sight but it's not pollution. It is a #natural occurrence. It's an essential part of a healthy & functioning #forest #ecosystem.

Naturally occurring stream foam can be off-white, light tan, or brown. Formed by dissolved organic matter/dissolved #organic carbon (DOC). DOC results from the breakdown of organic debris, tannins & #watershed soils rich in organic materials.
