After building a passenger train between Miami and Orlando, Brightline now plans to build America’s first true high-speed rail. The line would connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas in just over two hours, a trip that can take five hours by car. cbsn.ws/4bTefBV

Utterly miserable way to arrive at Waterloo station

#Vauxhall now looks more like a Hollywood depiction of a dystopian city in outer space than that of #London. The more you watch, the worse it gets. Just because you fill something up, doesn't mean it isn't empty.

Best classroom April fools prank ever
This professor has a policy that if your phone rings in class, you must answer it on speakerphone, so the students arranged to have a friend call on April fools’ day...

This is a good point, but I feel we don't know the full story here. Also, one can be cleared of criminal wrongdoing and at the same time not be fit to work for the UK's taxpayer-funded broadcaster

I am deeply concerned by the @scott_mills story, following his sacking by @BBC. Mills was allegedly investigated by the Metropolitan Police, with a file handed to the CPS who decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. If an individual can be investigated, cleared of prosecution due to insufficient evidence, & still face professional ruin, then we are entering dangerous territory. Institutions must be very careful not to substitute due process with reputational expediency. Justice cannot operate on suspicion alone, nor can fairness be preserved if allegations—untested in a court of law—are treated as proof. We must ask ourselves: are we upholding justice, or quietly dismantling it?

A longtime assistant to Jeffrey Epstein, who recruited young women and crossed paths with powerful figures in his orbit, like Elon Musk, spoke with OCCRP. She addressed reports of her father’s ties to the Russian FSB, called her work for Epstein “embarrassing and shameful,” and spoke about being bullied, abused, and manipulated by the disgraced financier.

There will always, always be a need for this kind of journalism....but the question is whether anyone will have the budget for it

.@semafor profiles the New York Post Runners -- the backbone of the storied newsroom. “In a day and age where AI is taking over,” the @nypost is “still doing basic journalism every day,” @liaeustach says. The runner offers a dynamic, and distinctly analog, example of what a human does best, and what LLMs can’t do at all — knock doors, form a connection, catch a vibe. semafor.com/article/03/29/…

My first staff job was for a local newspaper chain at the height of old Gothamist and Gawker—and our rule was no aggregation, no chasing. We had to hit the streets, talk to people, sit in on meetings and proceedings, and find our own stories. That's how real journalism gets done.

@JayShams For a while in the mid 2010s Jae Donnelly was pretty much the only person working the Epstein beat. No joke.

A few years after New York finally fixes its commuter rail…
You land at JFK with 3 hours until your Newark flight.
AirTrain to Jamaica, tap once, no second-guessing.
Downtown Jamaica is booming outside the window (new homes, offices, parks) because it now has fast, direct access to the whole region.
You don’t even check a timetable. Trains are running every couple minutes, metro-style.
You jump on a New Jersey–bound train that slips through Manhattan without a transfer and arrive at Newark Airport in only 35 minutes.
One seat. One fare. One Metro New York.
This is what regional rail integration could look like... why are we still settling for less?

London has built lots of flats…but few people want to buy them
Since 2014, some 20,000 flats have been completed in Wandsworth. But nearly 40% of modern flats there have sold at a loss in the last 5 years

@ekun_II I'm freelance too. The double blow of lost earnings and spending for a holiday makes it tough to take any vacation. I'll bet you were looking forward to this trip for a long time, and what a bummer for your family to be let down. But the whole Spirit thing...come on dude...

I will not send you guys DMs; I will make it public. My family has been planning this vacation for over 9 months. We paid for our suite on the cruise for a family of 5, totaling upwards of $7,000. We are supposed to arrive at the harbor by 2 p.m., with the ship sailing at 4.
We booked a super-early flight that cost a little over $1,400, and I paid $240 for extra luggage.
For this vacation, my wife and I cleared our calendars, with a running cost of at least $30,000 for the whole week.
Last night we tried to check in but realized the flight was overbooked, and even after checking in, we weren’t assigned seat numbers.
I also paid $80 for remote parking at DFW for 6 days, just for convenience.
We told my wife we had to get to the airport. Our flight was at 6:30 a.m., so we left home at 3:30 a.m. and arrived before 5 a.m.
The first attendant told us there weren’t enough flight attendants, so the flight was cancelled. We spoke to another one, who said it was a weather issue in Miami.
What I know is that the flight went to Miami, but because it was overbooked, they randomly cancelled some passengers.
What upsets me most is that my wife warned me about this airline. Also, my son is supposed to turn 9 on Wednesday, all of that is gone.
Royal Caribbean did not refund our money. My children’s spring break and my son’s birthday have been ruined just because we booked with Spirit Airlines.

@ekun_II We're sorry this has been your experience. It's not what we aim for! Send us a DM, and we'd be happy to help out.

Disney launched a new ad where a dad and son share a night time walk on a cruise ship, across an entire lifetime. Every parent needs to hear this: the moments feel small until they’re gone. Put down the phone. Spend the time. It’s the only thing they’ll remember.

An objectively wild career move and one I couldn’t be happier with or prouder of. The world needs more local reporters more than it needs more national ones and even if I go back to national reporting one day, I’ll be a much better reporter for this experience.
