@wmata your fare gates at NoMa are dangerous. Tapped my card, registered on display, gate opened. 1/2 second later, as I started passing, it slammed shut with excessive force, could easily cause injury. Station manager: "I apologize but I don't control these." What gives???

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@wmata what’s up with the delay on the Red Line at NoMa, toward Glenmont? Lots of folks waiting on the platform.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@USPSHelp what is one of your vehicles doing blocking curb cuts and also blocking crossing pedestrians from view in approaching cars? #accessibility and #safety aren’t at the whims of your drivers. Do better.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@Metrorailinfo TY. Already decided to walk 🤷‍♂️. I’m saying this as someone who wants Metrorail to thrive: things were better for a few years after the low in the mid-10s. But lately it seems reliability has taken a massive hit again. Nothing will precipitate a death spiral more than this.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@Metrorailinfo NoMa. But it’s so far that I could as well walk to RI Ave.

@arhayward @TwitterSpaces This is a good time to test if the ACS provisions in the CVAA have teeth and if the FCC is up for enforcement action.

@ChadRuffinMD @patrickdehahn Followed you

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@ChadRuffinMD @patrickdehahn Got a mastodon handle?

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

That’s it. I’m done. Feel free to follow me on Mastodon or Facebook.

Many autistic people put subtitles on for every show they watch, even if they have a strong sense of hearing. This may be because the auditory processing differences and delays that many of us have mean we wouldn’t be able to follow what’s happening on our screens without them.

@anjalifp @NPRJoeShapiro @MikeThornton71 I had the privilege of interacting with him a few times in the post-CVAA landscape. I remember him as a tireless advocate who Got Stuff Done. He will be missed.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

Oh my. I remember Bobby as a tireless champion in the post-CVAA days. He will be missed.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@CT_Bergstrom I’ve seen the same thing this am

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@seangall123 @jerems6 @MarleeMatlin @elonmusk Exactly. I also mentioned that above, but Twitter broke the chain with my reply. Go figure 😆

[Mosquito Capital @MosquitoCapital]

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

My twitter feed is pretty hosed this morning - tweets from 2-3 days ago show up, rather than recent ones. This is painful to watch.

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@blakereid @swodinsky Slack is like IRC but with guardrails

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

@NovicSara Which instance? (The bit after Saranovic@)?

[Christian Vogler @Krischi]

Just when Twitter was going to be his biggest and best case study yet. RIP.

Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.
