@alecreiss1 @ademilt30 I appreciate the shoutout 😂 I heard this. It’s pretty unrealistic as a place for humans to live. I don’t think the end result will look anything like what they’re promising. #BCSTT

@RuoyanZ Woven Planet is the holding company behind Woven City, a smart city project led by Toyota in Japan. The acquisition falls in line with that plan, as autonomous ride-hail will be dominant mode of transport for project. #BCSTT

@KallenRand And I keep getting left in the dust by the pace of crypto growth 😂 #BCSTT

This is a total headscratcher. It would be understandable for @_GoRevel to move from ridesharing to micromobility sharing, but not this. The ideal should be *replacement* of auto trips. Can't combat climate change by electrifying old ideas...#BCSTT

On the heels of a historic ~$170bn commitment to EV charging investment by the Biden admin, GM is launching Ultium Charge 360. It consists of 60,000 public chargers from seven networks, all accessible on the same app. Goodbye range anxiety! #BCSTT

Science backs our feelings of Zoom fatigue.

Curious finding: EEG readings from women suggest disproportionately affected by Zoom-induced stress and post-call exhaustion. We need our bosses to hear this! #BCSTT

It’s interesting that a deal which seemed imminent can fall through, only for the company to emerge with grander ambitions (like an IPO).

Delayed gratification I suppose #BCSTT

The first line of communication for a 10-12 year-old should always be parents, not a social networking app. #BCSTT

@sawyerrobbinss I wanted to be in sports medicine. Was always amazed by the medics that rush onto the soccer field and apply the magical healing spray to players legs. #BCSTT

@meganncarter1 The unfortunate answer is yes. Instagram and Snapchat started it, and the normalization of it is made worse with this move by Amazon #BCSTT

[Alessandro Zenati @bczenati]

Amazon just can't help itself. Are we heading toward a world where analog experiences are an endangered species? The main worry here is that the incorporation of AR into beauty / wellness scenarios cultivates unrealistic body images. #BCSTT

This has been on my radar for over a year now. NYC reveals the permit winners of its inaugural e-scooter pilot, set to launch this summer in The Bronx. Location is key, bc historically The Bronx has been left out of the CitiBike bikeshare radius. #BCSTT

After a less than stellar IPO opening, @Deliveroo proves it's got the metrics to support a boost. 2x delivery volumes in Q1 2021, as UK went into another lockdown.

The mountain to change investors' minds is steep, but they're well-positioned #BCSTT

@reshamjariwala @ChickfilA @gokiwibot It’s a different customer experience than Nuro. These smaller form factors have much smaller delivery radius and can add a more personal touch to on-demand. Very interesting partnership #BCSTT

A great opportunity to learn about future projects for the BlueBike network in Boston #BCSTT

[City of Boston @CityOfBoston]

Did you know that @RideBluebikes is co-owned and managed by five municipalities, including Boston?

The key decision-makers are municipal staff. You can join them at 6 p.m. to learn about the decisions made in 2020, and what's being planned for 2021: https://t.co/aImbyIZHn8

@alecreiss1 I’m sure they could have put a bit more effort into the name 😂 #BCSTT

[Alessandro Zenati @bczenati]

@alecreiss1 Right, it’s just concerning how far big companies will go to stamp out dissent or demands #BCSTT

I was looking through @DoorDash's job board, and noticed something juicy 👀👀

Appears they're hiring line cooks and 7 other roles for branded kitchens, which I can only presume are part of their investment in a centralized "ghost kitchen" model for food delivery. #BCSTT
