The code to the men’s bathroom in the food hall at north station in #boston is 6347. Public restrooms should be free.

My first time riding. To be clear, it got me to Chelsea without issue, but…why is it stopping for cross traffic?

@knizer I’ll check it out!

The #mbta Silver Line is a joke and has no business calling itself BRT #boston #transit

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank.

@reece I’ve found this really helpful in wrapping my head around the basics: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

My lovely wife just suggested that we rename mastodon to Nerd Clusters. I like it. #mastodon

At some point people have to get it through their heads that the reason all this shit is happening is that we allowed some people to become too rich. That's it.

There's nothing you can do within the system to stop people if they have unlimited money. They buy the system.

@BenRossTransit Those who haven’t seen it should really watch NJB’s extremely thorough takedown of AVs and where this could potentially lead. https://youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0?si=RCiJKTEGlzmxpAn5

Some interesting social science happening in the Aldi parking lot today - one person’s laziness set off a completely unreasonable chain reaction. I saw two people add to it while I was standing there, with zero shame. What a weird study in human behavior. Might need to redo the shopping cart theory experiments. #sociology #humanbehavior

reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.

@capntransit strong Robert Moses vibes

It doesn’t take much to reclaim space from cars. #urbanism #mexico #cdmx #coyoacan

Mexico City is not afraid to banish cars from one of their most important streets and open it up to people every Sunday. While far from perfect, the “Muévete en Bici” program is an objective good by any measure. What’s your city doing? #cdmx #mexico #mexicocity #urbanism #urban #publicpolicy #bikes

@andrew773 good on you! There’s weird messaging around speed limits that’s deeply ingrained, and starts basically with drivers ed. “You’ll be fine as long as you’re less than 10 over”.
