@CaltrainAlerts You had one chance to prove to thousands and thousands of people to prove that CalTrain is a good and reliable option. And you failed 100% spectacularly

@WSPMissingPers1 @WSPMissingPers1 Crazy that Washington State Patrol can abuse the Public Alert system, broadcasting to millions of residents and then just pretend it didn't happen. Is there no accountability or duty to preserve here?

@WSPMissingPers1 Stop using public safety alerts for a single missing person. It should be reserved for threats against the mass public. Create more categories for us to decide what should blare our phone and give us a panic attack.

@SFBART hey BART. It’s 2024. Any plans to update the 30 year old Stephen Hawking voice to something this century?

Dear Mr. Bezos:
We don't believe you. At all.
We don't think this is about encouraging news neutrality or building trust or fighting disinformation or competing against indie media.
You know why?
Because you did it 11 days before the election, after your editorial board came to a conclusion and drafted an endorsement, after your senior brass gave a green light internally.
If this were somehow about principle, you could have nixed the endorsement before the general election began.
Hell, you could have done it the day Pres. Biden stepped aside as an understandable moment for a reset.
But you didn't.
You claim major newspaper endorsements largely don't matter in a presidential election.
And honestly, I'm inclined to somewhat agree. I think their influence is overrated.
Unless it's an outlet endorsing their perceived ideological opposite (ex: NYT or WaPo for Trump, WSJ or New York Post for Harris), it doesn't matter a whole lot.
Although it's quite curious you claim to believe WaPo's presidential endorsements are too impotent to matter in elections, yet too powerful over public attitudes to be allowed to continue.
That doesn't make sense.
But it's also missing the point.
People aren't angry at you because we think Harris will somehow lose based on WaPo not endorsing her.
We're furious because you, one of the richest people in the world, bought one of the leading newspapers in our country--a storied bulwark against censorship and corrupt governing--and abused that power to kill the autonomy of the staff of that newspaper.
You have subverted the free press right before a presidential election in which one of the candidates is aggressively totalitarian in outlook, and you now pretend to be surprised at the shock and outrage.
We do not trust you.
We now find it very difficult to trust your newspaper despite the many excellent journalists who work there.
And we believe you either ultimately care only about your own greed OR you are dangerously incompetent regarding the importance of a free press.
Maybe both.
In any case, there's no way in hell I'm paying for The Washington Post while you still own it.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was last there.
Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic much more.
This is new. This is leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.

@CHPAlerts @LAPDHQ This feels like an amber alert to me. How did this get qualified as a general emergency alert?

Mayor Hidalgo also had the courage to reimagine the streets of Paris, and de-emphasize reliance on motor vehicles, to increase livability and create a 15-minute city.

It was an immense honor to participate in this moment of history and it was such a privilege to stand with @Simone_Biles – someone who has made the entire country proud. It's my hope that together, along with Mayor Hidalgo, we sent the message to girls all around the world that they can do anything — they can run for gold and they can run for office.
