Based on the @MBTA performance this week I think Phil Eng needs to go down to only one job...

Emmy Awards 2025: Almost unwatchable due to insane ad-load. #Emmys #toomanycommercials

Here's my @ezraklein Abundance example of the day. $302m for a bike bridge that goes for all of a long city block. #Abundance universalhub.com/2025/state-loo…

Dear @cvspharmacy: I don't need to get a 'how did we do' survey in my inbox every time I buy something at one of your stores.

@F45Training Disappointed by the bait and switch. Wanted to sign up for your 4 weeks up to 8 workouts plan advertised on your web site but was informed that one MUST actually sign up for 2 months. This is the type of misleading info that people HATE about gyms

Given Canada's penchant for egalitarianism, it's disappointing the the Toronto International Film Festival has about a zillion premium/VIP/special access levels before tickets go on sale to the public, by which time the preponderance of seats are already sold. #TIFF24 #tiff

@tiff_help Hello - I am an Insider and have not received my Discount Code for the sale that begins at 10am. Help! Thank you...

@Nike I'm never buying one of your products again. The 'Am I a Bad Person' ad is horrible. Emblematic of the decline in civility and discourse.

@thecoolidge $2.75 fee on a $15.50 ticket? C'mon...

@_weniam_ @OnlyInBOS @universalhub Because public transportation is woeful

@BillWalczak Disgraceful.

Rush hour rapid transit on the Red Line, the busiest MBTA subway line. No wonder the highways are always jammed.

@T4MASS Despite my support for it, we can't seriously discuss it for MA until public transportation is frequent, reliable, pervasive, and affordable -- which is the case in other places that have successfully implemented congestion pricing.

💵Let's talk congestion pricing! With many special guest including T4MA's Reggie Ramos. Register with the link below to join the panel discussion on June 10, 2024 at the BPL eventbrite.com/e/can-you-put-… #T4MA #transportationformassachusetts #congestionpricing #congestion #pricing

Thank you @thecoolidge for putting #hitmanmovie on MH1 for several screenings over the next week!

@MassBike We don't need a study. We need the long-proposed pedestrian bridge over the Mystic. That would solve 90% of the problem.

Everett, MA is one of the communities receiving the Reconnecting Communities & Neighborhoods Program! The grant will in part be used to study the feasibility of new bike connections to the nearby Northern Strand and Wellington Trails.

@growingwisdom Dave, a possible fun fact for central Maine. Given two significant snowfalls over the past ten days, did they receive more snowfall during official 'spring' than official 'winter'? Bet it's close! #weatherwisdom

Some nice shoutouts to the @thecoolidge in this fun @BostonGlobe piece sharing readers' movie-theater memories. #comment-170096280" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bostonglobe.com/2024/04/04/art…

@linakhanFTC @FTC Suggest you go after Ticketmaster (aka Ripoffmaster). They have a near monopoly on the market and charge egregious fees of 30-40% on top of the ticket price. And consumers have no alternative. Way worse than the tech folks you're targeting.

@cdempc Newton Center. Remove that awful, 60s-era parking lot off Beacon St., change the traffic pattern, and make the area much more bucolic, and pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

Copley before the "Square." What other places in Greater Boston could be dramatically improved by simplifying traffic patterns and creating new public space? #mapoli #bospoli

@DennisDoughty @MBTA I'm imagining what it would be like for visitors to Boston. Having just spent two weeks again, where I won't even start on the marvels of their public transportation system...

@marklowenstein @MBTA I’m with you except for the “lost” part. To get lost you have to move from where you are…

On the @MBTA for the first time in ages. If I was a visitor I'd be lost -- the digital display of upcoming stations isn't working and neither is the auto voice. Occasional unintelligible announcements from the operator, interspersed with his two-way radio circa 1910
