Sidewalks are much wider in first two. I’m not seeing much change in 3/4

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

Five bike/micromob riders queued outside the bike lane at a red light, another five or so in the bike lane

Half the users of Hampshire St were using the cars+ lane yesterday because the bikes+ lane is too congested and has no room to pass.

Widening should be part of the convo longer term.

i miss DEI

Drivers will often build an imaginary scenario where they kill a cyclist speeding through a red light, but the reality is that the most common bike crashes are left and right hooks and dooring. Most cyclists who are hit are *not* breaking the law.

A 1.6% rent increase over four years is unironically the dream

Finally, a united nation.

There are two possibilities here:

1. Kraft’s campaign is lying when they blame this on their vendor, and they did this intentionally.

2. Kraft’s campaign is completely incompetent.

Either way, not a good sign of how a Kraft administration would govern!

This is a 3-family home.

It’s illegal to build on 93% of all residential land in Massachusetts.

The Canadian wildfire smoke was quite something this weekend in New Hampshire

Canadian wildfire smoke is impacting flight operations at Boston Logan today, causing a ground stop for jet aircraft.

I don't know why we aren't picketing the Design Review Committee. Their demands for this project were more material changes, brighter colors, and more changes of color. Instead of amazing buildings like the other ones. Are there people who genuinely want change of color, and change of material?

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

I’ve never even seen anyone use the top rack, since the bottom has never been filled

So yeah it just makes the bottom tier difficult to access

My work has these bike racks, and I appreciate the high capacity… but it’s never filled

It’d be much nicer to just have fewer, well spaced, normal racks– but then the development wouldn’t get to claim to the city that they have 40+ bike parking spaces

Landlords can't deduct money for 'reasonable wear and tear' from your security deposit when you move, court says

The doors will open on both sides of the train. For elevator service, please exit the left side of the train onto the center platform

Generally new housing is going to be expensive by nature of being new

I wonder how the shortage of 1b units impacts larger units, since people who would prefer but can’t afford a 1b will live with roommates in multi-bedrooms, competing with families

But yeah we need more of all kinds of housing

A sign that says Motorists Give 4 Feet to Pass

I would like these to replace every "Share the Road" sign in Massachusetts. It's not that I'm opposed to sharing the road, but we know drivers don't want to share, so I'd much prefer there's a sign telling them how they're legally required to operate around bikes

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

Cypher St—What was once a trash-strewn wasteland of jersey barriers and no sidewalks is now a safe, green corridor with separated bike lanes, smooth pavement, lighting, and park space. From pedestrian no-go to a people-first street! 🌳🚲

Wally the Green Monster had a great time test riding CargoB and learning about the power of e-cargo bike share at a recent Recharge America event in Allston!

Boston By Bike at Night Tour meets at Copley Square 11:30 pm Saturday August 16 and explores Boston history and architecture on a slow roll bike ride

One of our favorite local #bikeevents comes up August 16-17 - the Boston By Bike at Night Tour is part architectural and history tour and part #BikeParty . It explores the city at its quietest, usually includes a unique music stop and ends with sunrise & breakfast at the waterfront.

Given the option of saying (about the most notorious pedophile in American history),

"I ended our friendship because he was a creep"

- and -

"I ended our friendship because I don't like it when people try to poach my staff"

IT'S PRETTY WEIRD TO GO WITH THE LAST ONE !!!!

One of the most unheralded parts of making streets safer for children is the amount of time it frees up for parents.

Eroding protections for public lands Trump policies reshape the role of federally owned land, against the tide of U.S. public opinion

This piece is stunning.

His facial expression in this one is concerning

Lost in the burrito taxi discourse is that before like 10-15 years ago you were only expected to order in pizza, Chinese or Indian food. If you suggested that someone should deliver McDonalds to your house they would've thought you were insane.
