@PVDMayor ICU nurse can’t get to hospital because lower Woodbine St. hasn’t had a single pass from a plow

We’ll continue sharing updates if conditions change.

@GreentownLabs did sometime steal your planters in Somerville? :(

@311Somerville Hi! I know previously because of covid, renters could deny in-person showings of their apartments to prospective tenants. Is that still in effect?

@kentcdodds hey Kent -- big fan of your work. Since you don't have a course on GraphQL yet, do you recommend anything someone else has produced?

@StreetsblogMASS @BostonParksDept It would be a great improvement. Next let's get rid of the golf course and dedicate that space to people who actually live in the neighborhood.

@avsa Ok, granted, but this much different than "if NC or GA was faster than MI, we'd be seeing a Trump lead." Now you're saying NC _and_ GA vs. MI _and_ WI. Not to mention your other statement; roughly, "if any [uncalled state] flips, the results flip."

@NickBReid It seems Biden will win, but with a tight margin. GA, PA and NC seems will go Trump (31), WI and MI went for Biden (26) just recently. If the order of the count reveal was reversed, we’d be seeing Trump at 245 and Biden at 227 right now. No?

American electoral system is weird but makes it up for excitement. So if any of these flip, the results also flip. And if, say, North Carolina or Georgia was slightly faster to process votes than Michigan, we’d be seeing a trump lead.

@ofsevit @Scipio888 @bytimlogan why so derisive? you enjoy those things. other people enjoy affording a house and playing in the mountains. it's all good

@Scipio888 @bytimlogan Boise seems great! Of course I can walk to Fenway Park, Symphony Hall and the MFA. But, hey, go Hawks (Single-A ball)? Or to one of the Boise Philarmonic's half dozen concerts each year? Or browse the Boise Art Museum's collection of 3500 items (vs 450,000 at the MFA).

@dbernstein @Tori_Bedford how much time do you spend talking to protesters in the field? or are you mostly just online?

@Tori_Bedford ... But it’s not like there’s no distinction between, say, members of Rose City Antifa and my next door neighbor who thinks fascism is bad.

Pretending that Antifa is nothing more than a generic term for anybody opposed to fascism is even dumber than pretending that Antifa should be officially designated a terrorist organization.

@jbcarmody In case you haven't heard of anything like this, I know of at least one person beginning their residency now who is being paid ~$80 a month less than the match contract dictated. The justification is, essentially, that coronavirus necessitates it.

@NickBReid I’m actually working on something that touches on that now - the history of the NRMP antitrust lawsuit. Hopefully I will have it posted soon.

$76,366/year -average marginal benefit to a hospital of adding a single additional internal medicine resident in 2010. (At least, according to this 95-page analysis by the RAND corporation, which comprehensively considered financial inputs and outputs.) rand.org/content/dam/ra…

@jbcarmody Looking forward to reading it!

@universalhub @ofsevit I gather that there's a finite number of licenses, for some reason. When we built a new neighborhood -- the Seaport -- did this number increase? It's an odd policy if every Seaport win is another neighborhood's loss.

@ofsevit They're not in a Main Street district, so would be ineligible even if one were available.

Doyle's is closing. Yes, that Doyle's. bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2019/09/doyles… #jamaicaplain

@lizforma so now that it turns out you were recklessly spreading misinformation about @MetroBOS, are you going to apologize?

@nickcollinsma Senator, you're on the right track here, but we expect you to make policy proposals, not to identify good conversation topics.

5/ BRT, carbon pricing, congestion pricing, and increases in the gas tax to meet MBTA fare increases are also all important conversations that should be on the table while we try to fix this regional transportation crisis #MApoli #BosPoli #RedLine #MBTA

1/ Derailments like today create unacceptable delays for customers and reveal a dangerous backlog of capital improvements on the @MBTA. We need significant, lasting revenues to make game-changing investments in the system to make it work for all riders #RedLine

@ajafarzadehPR @WelcomeToDot no one was injured in the derailment, but if everyone on that train hops on a Blue Bike in the rain and rides into downtown, you can bet someone will be

@GraniteGeek Near your old VA stomping grounds, a lady was baffled when I told her I came off the trail near the river down the street. She racked her brain trying to place it, and then it struck her. She said: "That ain't a river, thassa crick."

However, they sidestep the question I raised last week: When it is "X Lake" and when is it "Lake X"?

How big does a pond have to be before it's a lake? Answer, from the US Geological Survey: That's a silly question. twitter.com/USGS/status/10…

@CMonitor_JVF @ConMonitorNews being moot has never felt so good

Plea deal for liberal activist who sent hoax email ends NH Attorney General's effort to force former @ConMonitorNews reporter to testify. bit.ly/2Lya8vX

@JasonUkman The last line says most students don't pay sticker price, based on the fact they're taking financial aid. I think you're equating grants and loans here. Those with loans will pay -more- than the sticker price.
