jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron.bsky.social I keep seeing people repeat "AI is destroying the jobs market" uncritically, without any hard evidence, and it's crazy that this is accepted on its face despite the confounding factor of "a year of instability under an ever changing regime of spite-based tariffs."
@jmoiron.bsky.social Maybe the internet was compromised by a magic Nokia, but this train got me from Tokyo to Fukuoka (1090km) in 4h45m. Some friends are taking Amtrack home to NYC from Toronto today because the airports here are still impacted by the storm, 750km.. 14 hours.
@jmoiron.bsky.social Yeah, I really hate this take that anything short of welcoming antisocial behavior in public spaces is like ordering a pogrom on the poor. It reinforces a conservative narrative that the only effective recourse is state violence, and since that's bad, you have to deny the problem...

@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: To be honest I don't use JR much within Tokyo when I can avoid it, as Tokyo metro is almost always more convenient and easier to navigate. Despite that, the Yamanote is legendary and has a special place in my heart and I don't mind taking it once in a while.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: The same loop in NYC doesn't really fit but thanks to the G train, approximating it is at least possible. Hong Kong's lack of a east/west New Territories connection makes such a loop impossible even though I'd say the MTR is generally much better than the NYC Subway.
