The other place I’ve seen tension is between people favoring bike lanes and people favoring BRT lanes. I don’t think these are mutually exclusive but I’ve seen people arguing in Boston about it (eg on mass Av bridge).

Wow! Amazing!

Fixing this means fixing the infrastructure to slow cars down and protect vulnerable road users. This is better for all road users. We have a great team at DTM, they need to be funded and supported. @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social

I was at an MIT talk and researchers there have developed an AI conspiracy debunker and it's actually quite impressive. I know a lot of folks don't like AI, but given we're tearing ourselves apart over false beliefs, I'll try anything.. Now how to get them to use it... 🤔 www.debunkbot.com

I've got an old friend who has become MAGA and talking to him is like talking to someone from another universe... I try to be sympathetic, he has been lied to so extensively, but it's really difficult.

Horrible.. It's really terrible how detached from reality so many people are and it drives them to support and do terrible things.

Yeah I very do not recommend buying an old house unless you’re getting some kind of incredible deal and factor in a generous amount for repairs.

Anything house related just seems wildly expensive recently.. The only good deals left are from masssave for insulation etc. And if they would ever approve the next plan there might be good heat pump rebates etc.

Should have said: votes coming on Monday! No time to lose! Also, don't vote for Toner, Wilson, Simmons, or Zusy in November. 😡

You’d think the chants of “drop the charges” might have been a clue..

I’m among the most privileged of immigrants and it took 13 years to secure a green card and the peace of mind / certainty that comes with it. It’s unbelievably difficult unless you’re very lucky.

So many lovely people, a wonderful vibe, and tons of support from the folks there and people driving home through Newton square. ❤️

Here's a thought.. How about we build infrastructure so you're not forced to own a car to live? "Their earning options are greatly diminished because they cannot commute by car" bsky.app/profile/bost...
