@AmtrakNECAlerts Train 134. Boarding at Trenton.

@CateAgnew Hello, and thank you for reaching out to us, Cate. We're sorry to hear that your train is not being updated. May we ask which train you are referring to so we may check our systems as to why it is not updating online?

@AmtrakAlerts and @AmtrakNECAlerts are not updating passengers! We only found out when we got to the station that the train is 1 hour 45 minutes late! And counting!

@JayinKyiv Wait, what??? Denmark?

Call me a conspiracist but.. To get around NATO's Article 5, it seems Putin is now dedicated to attacking European targets with deniable acts of sabotage. Warsaw shopping mall last week is already blamed on Russia and now Copenhagen's Novo Nordisk headquarters, the largest company in Europe is in flames. None of this stops until EU finally bans entry to all Russian passport holders.

@MaeecsX @NJTRANSIT_NEC Amtrak has legal priority. First priority is freight. Second is Amtrak. Third is NJT.

@NJTRANSIT_NEC Why are those lines waiting on Amtrak to go first?!

NEC and NJCL customers should continue to standby for Amtrak to resume rail service. We will continue to share updates as new information becomes available.

@NJTRANSIT_NEC Kids…please find another way home. Share Ubers. Call your families. Check into the bus system. I was on Amtrak and bailed. When everything gets up and running again, which will be many more hours, NJT will be last in line for the tracks - behind Amtrak.

@AmtrakNECAlerts I think that the “grumpy” on the part of we passengers is…why not tell us to bail out/give up? At least tell us if it’s hopeless or X hours. I gave up and got a hotel room in the city. We deserve better, and you can do better.

Service Adjustment: As of 8:42 PM ET, Due to ongoing delays, as a result of a track closure from downed overhead power lines, Train 2173 is canceled between New York (NYP) and Washington (WAS). Alternate transportation will not be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience.

@qxeenfatima @AmtrakNECAlerts Affecting NY to NJ Penn but the stack up happening now will take hours to clear even if it happens right this second, which it won’t.

@AmtrakNECAlerts Does this affect trains headed to Newark? Or just service between NY and NJ?

Service Temporarily Disrupted Between New York, NY and Newark, NJ spr.ly/6019d0ahZ

@TheForwardCabin @AmtrakNECAlerts Yes, I got off the train at Penn (where I got on) and heard that the overhead wire issue caused a fire

@AmtrakNECAlerts An engineer on 2170 was just overhead saying the train may need to be re-crewed due to a lengthy delay.

@ChadGriffiths I refer to data centers as “energy vampires”.

Amazon recently bought a data center campus in Pennsylvania that is powered by a nuclear power plant. Here's the crazy part: This campus alone will draw 1/3 of it's total nuclear capacity (which is the 6th largest power plant in the US). Still can't believe how Big Tech is staying out of the spotlight when it comes to the insane amount of power they require for their data centers.

@vrexec Is there some kind of tax offset to prevent paying full tax burden there and in the US?

@EricJorgenson /trunk.

@EricJorgenson You will be shocked at the number of light bulbs in the house. Stock up. Have the sewer line cleared to the street truck. I guarantee that has never been done. Clear the dryer vent to the outside. Twice. Have all the HVAC vents cleaned.

Closed on our first house yesterday. What is your biggest tip for a new homeowner?

People occassionally ask to see how the original image compares to the cleaned-up enhancement, so I thought I would zoom in and show the speckly visual noise of the original which I removed. It also demonstrates how much the blue dyes had faded. I really had to push the saturation levels there.

@kelspluscoffee Love it. First time for me was in Berlin.

has anyone tried the “Scandinavian sleeping” thing where each partner has their own blanket & no flat sheet? my partner recommended it a while back but I didn’t think it was a good idea. we slept with our own comforters last night & omg this is a game changer 😂

I think this is a most remarkable window into the past, connecting us so immediately to the ghosts of those who went before us. It was taken 110 years ago, on Monday 19th January 1914. French photographer Auguste Léon photographed this little girl in the village of Aswan in Egypt, where he was recording the local culture for the Albert Kahn planetary archive. I have cleaned & enhanced the detail of this autochrome for you, but the colour is original (it has not been colourised).

Happy Mother’s Day, Elaine. I treasure your wisdom, and miss you each day.

Amazingly, this early Edwardian colour photograph was taken 122 years ago! The lady in white was photographed in 1902 by the German scientist Adolf Miethe, who not only co-invented the first practical photographic flash but also made huge advances in early colour photography. This shot pre-dates the invention of autochromes by several years and instead employed a series of 3 [red/green/blue] coloured filters inside the camera. It has not been colourised.

@michaelamaloney any from your neighborhood?

Have you ever seen a genet? It looks like a hybrid of a cat, a dog and a ferret, but it's indeed a family cousins of the mongooses, and more closely related to hyenas.
