Outstanding work from @JakeVarn from @pewresearch.org updating us on state low cost broadband options!
I didn’t know that some states were offering waivers to exceed the lost cost requirement. What a surprise and disappointment.

i’m mad that everything about the internet that was fun & useful 10 years ago is broken now. this site, obviously. reviews are astroturf lies. search is ai hallucination. no place to share with friends & family without influencer / meme / polarized content overrunning the feed.

It’s pretty inhuman how this country leaves prisoners to die in every natural disaster, whether that’s a hurricane, heat wave, or pandemic. It’s an extension of the ordinary way that people behind bars are not considered human beings, and there’s hardly ever consequences for it.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a small business in a small town like Camille and Emile, or living in a sprawling city: You deserve high-speed internet access.
It’s not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
My Administration is bringing it to more Americans than ever before.

Heat prompting slower trains makes me think of the 2019 article I wrote for DCist (rip) about how rising temperatures is one of the threats to our transportation systems: dcist.com/story/19/09/23/cli… – at Washington, DC
Due to rail temperatures above 135 degrees, as of 2 p.m., there is an above-ground speed restriction of 35 mph in effect systemwide. We will provide an update when rail temperatures return to normal. #wmata
