A common argument against expanding passenger rail that I hear a lot is that we'll need to cut down a lot of trees to make way for the tracks. Do you have any thoughts on that?

We actually have plenty of existing rail infrastructure!

The problem is that it's mostly used for freight these days, and the Big Six (the six Class I railroads running freight in the US) often aren't interested in sharing (see Amtrak's Twitch stream beef with CSX and Norfolk Southern for one example). Passenger trains legally - by government decree - get priority over freights, even hot shot freights...or at least they're supposed to. In practice this often does not happen.

A lot of old rights of way still exist or need maintenance, and of course if the freight railroads would share with Amtrak and local services more, things could actually be done fairly easily. There'd have to be some cleaning up on rights of way that aren't used anymore, but you can generally tell where railroad tracks used to be, and a lot of the time you can patch things up and lay new track without doing too much environmental damage because the right of way is there already from decades ago.

I live in New Jersey and work in NYC, and we have arguably some of the best public transit in the country (which isn't saying much on an international scale). A big part of that is that the freight railroads that operate in this area share the rails in New Jersey with New Jersey Transit. NJT owns the trackage, but they share it with the freight railroads via rights agreements, and in some cases they use tracks owned by other railroads that they lease.

Metra in the Chicago metropolitan area has a similar arrangement; four Metra routes are on tracks owned by Union Pacific and BNSF, and these railroads operate the Metra rolling stock and services under the Metra name. Metra's seven other routes are operated by the Northeast Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation, their operating arm. (Union Pacific was apparently going to transfer operations of the Metra lines on their trackage to Metra at some point this year but I don't know if it happened yet or not.)

The tl;dr here is basically that we actually have a ton of tracks left over that could be being used to restore passenger service to places it's left. We also have examples of it working quite well in higher population areas. We don't necessarily HAVE to build all new rights of way - they're already there. We just need to restore them and get the freight railroads to be willing to share.

On a directly related note, I sincerely hope they continue to go ahead with restoring the Lackawanna Cutoff, and if they do you bet I'll be on the first train out for a relaxing jaunt. This is an excellent example of how it can be done.

Today I got to volunteer at Billion Oyster Project, a nonprofit that takes oyster, scallop, and other shells from restaurants in New York City and uses them to make substrates to grow oyster reefs!

These oyster reefs not only are restoring the water in the area to what it was like pre-colonialism (there were oyster reefs all around NYC, and it was known that the oysters were sometimes able to grow as big as dinner plates) but it also cleans the water, provides habitat, AND protects the city from deadly storm surges like it experienced with Superstorm Sandy.

You can see the shell piles and some reef balls they make to seed the oysters on. It's a nature based solution that benefits the city enormously (especially the restaurants that don't have to pay for by-the-pound shell water removal, they can just donate them!) that has been in action for YEARS. Solutions to the climate crisis are all around us, in our history, our stories, and our food. We just gotta implement them!

(also there were killer native gardens all around the shell piles)

Reverse upopular opinion meme: the Byzantines

obviously they are an empire and therefore, in absolute terms, bad, but they’re obviously one i find very interesting, both just intrinsically (there’s a lot of very beautiful, very intricate byzantine art i’ve seen in museums— i remember the met in NYC had these frankly breathtaking byzantine ivory miniatures). and it has all of the fun stuff you love to see in any monarchy— dynastic struggles, civil wars, guys getting their eyes poked out, etc etc

but i also just find the byzantine empire interesting in terms of the historiography around it, the way it kind of defies periodization (even ‘the byzantine empire’ is a retroactive term obviously; they just called themselves romans), the way it stretches from antiquity to the cusp of the renaissance. it goes against the kind of received wisdom version of ancient history, where the western roman empire’s fall in 476 ad led to classical antiquity immediately immediately collapsing into ‘’’the dark ages’’’. was the roman empire of augustus the same as the roman empire of constantine xi palaiologos? the latter would have been unrecognizable to the former, but also you can’t really draw a clean line between them— diocletian reforming the principate into the dominate? constantine embracing christianity and moving the capital to constantinople? the failure of julian to restore classical paganism? the happenstance of theodosius dropping dead as last ruler of a unified roman empire? the ultimate failure of justinian’s ambitions to reclaim the west? etc, etc.

in short, it’s exactly the sort of reckoning with the messy process by which a bunch of stuff happening is woven into a historical narrative that fascinates me; it’s why so much of byzLP hinges on historical legacies, continuities and discontinuities, and The Idea of Rome (derogatory)

Weeks after being flagged for her pro-Hamas agit-prop pushed on toddlers at PS 59 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Siriana Abboud remains on the payroll and unpunished — because it’s next to impossible to discipline, much less fire, misbehaving New York City teachers.

And also because she has friends in high places.

Last month, The Post’s Susan Edelman broke the news of Abboud pushing an anti-Israel agenda on pre-K tots and sharing tips on indoctrinating kids online: Her site’s Allusio Academy preschool program seems to have come directly from a Hamas pre-K curriculum guide.

Her Instagram page is chock-a-block with pro-Palestinian content: skewed teach-ins on the history of Palestine, Zionism, European colonialism, and “orientalism,” plus how to help your child advocate for Palestine.

Days after Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities, she wrote on Instagram, “we stand with those still tearing down border walls” and “we show solidarity with those still fighting to free their stolen land.”Last month, The Post’s Susan Edelman broke the news of Siriana Abboud pushing an anti-Israel agenda on pre-K tots and sharing tips on indoctrinating kids online.Instagram @sirianajanine

Parents have asked the city Department of Education to investigate this teacher’s hate, but so far all that’s happened is that she’s gone on indefinite “medical leave” — an obvious sign that the DOE is simply hoping to wait out the storm.

State law makes it nearly impossible to fire a bad or even dangerous teacher who has tenure: The union-inspired arbitration rules can drag out the process for years.

In one infamous case, a city teacher accused of misconduct toward his students earned over $1.7 million in salary in the course of a 20-year “rubber room” stint.

But that’s not all that’s going on here.

Abboud’s issues go back at least a year: Jewish parents and teachers at the school complained back in October 2022 when she put a crude antisemitic poster on the bulletin board outside her classroom.

Other than having her take it down, the only official response was a single “restorative justice” session, where her colleagues could express their feelings.

Within weeks of that, the city Department of Education honored Abboud with a 2023-24 Big Apple Award, applauding her work “as a liberation-inspired educator” who “centers children’s agency and global consciousness,” raises the “societal expectations” of young children and other woke claptrap.348

In other words, she won official acclaim for the radicalism that now has her out of the classroom, but still getting paid.

Schools Chancellor David Banks plainly hasn’t cleaned house at DOE headquarters, if he’s even tried.

No wonder alert middle- and working-class families are fleeing the DOE’s schools.

The first of the completed John Alfred Wheeler hunt paintings.

Much nicotine and gook removed, and I had to cook up some gesso to fill a TEENY little hole - the damn thing caught the light, and I finally relented.

The varnish has it looking snazzy - and I pray to the art-godds that I am not doing damage with the product I am using. I’ve deep-dived into discussions pro and con about acrylic varnishes. It’s essentially all that I am able to get my hands on here in rural ireland, and the fancy “restoration grade” varnishes and solvents remain elusive. (NYC, California, or London - but they will not ship it.)

I have a couple paintings that I paid to have restored by the “professionals” in NY.

Leonard Sasso in Greenwich charged an arm and a leg ($1200. for a small still life and €2000 for a landscape with cows.

Chelsea Restoration cleaned and restored a couple pieces for me, and gotta say - I still have some doubts about some of the work they did on a portrait of A Kellogg…I remember the black dress showing transparency, and it came back as a solid fabric…)

But this brings me to the yellowing of Dammar Varnish over a few years. The work done by Sasso is looking decidedly old and yellow, and this in about 12 years?

The acrylics are said to be removable with appropriate solvents, but the gloss can get more difficult over time. But on the up-side - they don’t yellow like Dammar does.

It’s a devils choice.

The paintings look great, and given their location, their ownership, and their foreseeable future - looking good is top-of-the-brief.

I live and learn - I wish I could just reach out and grab the pricey, appropriate materials - but it does not seem likely in this landscape.

hi! you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, no worries—but i'm curious what you generally like/dislike about living in DC? i just got a job offer there and it's a big move, so i want to ask around first. i like public transit, if that helps.

this is hard since i feel like something like a place to live is so subjective lmao but ill try

likes

public transit is like. mostly good? i can get pretty much anywhere within the heart of the city that i need to go using the metro, just with some walking added on which i dont mind. I don't use the busses but theyre there and thats whats needed to get around outside the major parts of the city. its also clean. dont expect it to be as fast or convenient as nyc. its more sparse and trains dont run as often. its also much more expensive (trips can be up to $6 based on distance). i like it personally but theres definitely a *lot* of room for improvement. theres constant track work that can interfere with commutes and the replacement shuttles suck a lot of the time.

its a city so like there are gay people. i feel mostly comfortable walking around visibly gnc to a point but ive been heckled and shouted at and whispered about and stared at and laughed at. lowkey sexually harassed once. never anything more direct and nothing physical but thats my personal experience. its way less prevalent/common than in nyc in my experience. keep in mind i have my own reservations about presentation that im still trying to work through so im not always super feminine, dont wear dresses etc, even my heels are usually more tame like boots and stuff. so i dont go through what visibly trans women or more outwardly gnc people likely go through. ive done pda in the city and no one cared.

i like some of the theaters (afi even though its a trek, angelika, theres a landmark but it kinda sucks but the programming is ok sometimes). some of the museums sometimes do really interesting film programming

museums can be cool but this is also very subjective. they can also get old quick.

dislikes

theaters are limited. will never compete with nyc or LA. no real film festival on the level of nyff. if you care about this you *will* miss interesting releases that dont go wide enough to hit dc. I was begging on my hands and knees for Memoria for months until it finally came here for a week. restorations are much less likely to screen here.

its the capital. you will brush shoulders with government employees and lots of military soldiers and employees and whatever. the pentagon literally has a metro stop. i still want to shoot someone when i see a bunch of uniformed navy/army/air force people on my train. people you encounter may actively or passively participate in the various crimes of the state and not blink an eye. obviously not everyone is like this, if the palestine protests are anything to go by there are a bunch of dissenters and leftists etc but like be aware that these people are here. in a similar vein, military contractors are also rampant here.

being the capital the tourists are also a different... flavor... than in other cities ive been in/to. ive seen high school tour groups buying and wearing a bunch of maga hats as edgy post-irony jokes. then theres ofc the very serious hardcore nationalists. shit like that. on a related note. oomf has an israeli journalist (for a right wing publication of course) that regularly comes into his place of work.

its expensive. but my main frame of reference city-wise is nyc and its not nearly on that level (yet).

Furniture Polishing Services in NYC: Restore and Protect Your Wooden Furniture

Introduction

Wooden furniture adds elegance and warmth to any home or office, but over time, it can lose its shine due to dust, scratches, and exposure to moisture.

Why Professional Furniture Polishing is Essential

Increasing Longevity

Regular polishing prevents the buildup of grime and deterioration, ensuring your furniture lasts for generations.

For minor polishing needs, you can use store-bought wood polish and a soft cloth for quick touch-ups.

When to Hire a Professional

For deep scratches, water damage, or antique furniture, expert services ensure the best results.

Cost Comparison

While DIY polishing may seem cheaper, professional services provide long-term protection and superior results, making them a better investment.

Dust furniture regularly with a microfiber cloth.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Long-Term Care Advice

Polish furniture every few months to maintain shine.
