Not always easy, but a great way to try to live life: always assume good intentions first twitter.com/thomas___mcfal…

A bummer that Hey from @37signals has grown stagnant - my experience today in trying to draft an email with slow internet makes me think of this. I love the design thinking here, but still too many sharp edges (eg “the feed”). Can’t wait to try @NotionHQ Mail on mobile

@Instacart I think you need to update your app 🚲😎

@elneurozorro @CurtRog @transitapp I’m having this issue as well (and my wife), but this tip didn’t work for me. Too bad, I was digging the new bike directions

@CurtRog @transitapp Looks like a bug. Happened to me too but I enabled/disabled personal bike in settings and it came back

The new @transitapp bike directions look really promising! I love how it highlights busy roads, gives you options and quantities the safety/comfort of the route

So thankful for the continued hard work of @SomervilleInfr1 on bike infrastructure in Somerville MA, making things like this bike bus to school possible. Keep it up folks! #morebikeslesscars

@SomervilleInfr1 Wahoo! As a biker (with young children), I really appreciate these. How do we request more of these, such as in front of Albion park? These seem cheap and easy to install, I’m surprised in front of almost every park in the city is not an automatic at this point

Last week we turned “hump day” into a week long celebration. Crews installed new speed humps on Glen Street, Florence Street, Vinal Ave, at 164 School Street and Edgar Ave. When driving please remember the immortal words of the Beastie Boys, “Slow and low, that is the tempo!”

These are both kid socks for my six year old daughter. @pumafootball (right) have you never seen a child? This sock fits my 12m size foot 🙃. @adidasUS nice work!

Bummer that @SomervilleCity is no longer providing Covid tests. Such a perverse incentive to NOT test when it’s $$$ and inconvenient. Thank you @jake4somerville @KristenEStrezo and others for trying to fix this cambridgeday.com/2024/02/13/end…

Did a ride from Somerville through Boston yesterday to do an errand. It’s so awesome to see the amazing work done by @CambMA @SomervilleCity @CityOfBoston to add so many new bike paths/lanes in the past few years, with many more coming. Keep it up!!!

@scottfarkas I’m trying my best to get this out to my company but can’t figure out how to do so via Okta so any employee clicking a link gets an account created for them seamlessly. Very difficult to get adoption otherwise. Any tips?

For all the product teams out there: Jira Product Discovery just hit GA! 1000's of teams already using it. Some of the highest customer satisfaction scores we've seen! 3-5x cheaper than competitors. Check it out: atlassian.com/software/jira/…

@somershade1 I feel like I’ve seen you post about this before. New victim on Highland. Bummer.

Congratulations to @mghfc pediatric endocrinologist Rachel Whooten who was awarded an NIH K23 grant for her project "Investigating the impact of physical activity in modulating PCOS risk among peripubertal females"!

If we want to look to the future of public transit, we must come to see it as a public good like education, writes Somerville mayor @katjballantyne. Once we do that, we must also commit to advancing it. trib.al/MijY6U7

@amynewell 🤪

@adamsigel I thought you were going to say Google Plus when I first started reading this

In a Boston office building in 2011 when it started shaking. It wasn’t bad, but everybody around me was confused. I opened up Twitter and instantly realized that it was a rare earthquake. First time I got how powerful Twitter could be #TwitterIsOverParty wbur.org/news/2011/08/2…

@chrissyfarr This tweet has really stuck with me (particularly the first reply)

Controversial statement because almost every person I meet in Silicon Valley says they're an optimist. I'm a realist. It gives me a lot of comfort to ground myself in the realistic & I like being around people who are grounded to their core. That's where I derive the most hope.

@scottistvan I can see mine, but you likely tweet a lot more than me

@dvasishtha Are they accepting new patients? That’s the next hurdle. I gave up on finding a different PCP

Then I see if the groups that own the MDs are in the in-network list. Atrius is but only for existing patients (talk about ghost networks). The pediatrics group is owned by Partners but Partners doesn't show up in the directory. Then I remember to search for MGH and Brigham.

If you want to enable consumer-centric US healthcare you need to regulate the industry to a consumer friendly state. Switching insurance carriers next year and going through the exercise of figuring out which of my family's current providers are in-network. It's a mess.

@johncutlefish @Amplitude_HQ @MiroHQ Yes, and love those. But they present other challenges in how some of the charts display. I’m blanking on specific examples though

Say hello to data-driven brainstorms in @MiroHQ. 👋 With the Amplitude app, you can now search + add unlimited Amplitude charts without leaving your Miro board, allowing you to capture ideas to incorporate into tasks seamlessly. bit.ly/3U1FIWD
