Huh. Google Maps on Android is no longer plotting walking paths when returning public transit directions.

It's doing the following instead.

(To generate this example, I requested public transit directions from Park Street Station to the Harvard Science Center.)

 I see the University of Pennsylvania is enjoying a well-deserved publicity fiasco.

Honestly, I will be fine with it if the lesson academia takes away from this is, "gosh, we better not mistreat our women faculty, or they might win the Nobel Prize while still adjuncts and embarrass us on the world stage." 

 The word for it is #solastalgia.

Pass it on.

 It is incredibly frustrating that the only thing more stupid than Patreon is all the alleged Patreon substitutes that clearly don't even understand what Patreon does.

Pro tip: Patreon has no meaningful competitors, and also it sucks, so there's a huge opportunity for somebody to kick sand in its face and take its lunch money. But to do that you would have to understand what actually Patreon does that is worth it to creators to allow Patreon to take 5% of their proceeds (and then pass on to them a second 5% in payment processing fees).
