@cmclymer You’re my first follow. 🤞🏻 See you there.

@MikeConnollyMA @universalhub @MBTA @MassDOT It is impossible to get around the city. I am so frustrated by closures and delays and speed reductions—the GLX and the MBTA is a joke.

That new Green Line branch to Union Square? The T is closing it for 42 days this summer. https://t.co/ljbsMOrYJC

Where can a person take a cozy little nap in downtown #Boston?

@TheGoodLiars That tracks.

“I am a Tan Stan,” my husband says. “I really am.”

18 mins and counting just sitting on the train in Union waiting to leave. Again. AGAIN. Why is this line impossible to use? I am trying to get to work. @MBTA

@itsbengordon Omg!

@mattxiv @HoughtonUniv MARC SMITHERS is such a comical villain name. I can’t believe this uni has an institutional policy against pronouns! What waste of policy making time.

@ajkessel @universalhub @StacoS There has been a flood of sirens and police activity up to now. Seems to be a lot happening in JP tonight.

This is helping me make peace with my own bathroom, which a realtor recently touted as “functional”.

Police activity at Kendall, all trains held. Can see staff with flashlights down the track and one employee with walkie-talkie thinks a woman and was electrocuted.

@Will_GRELL0 @MBTA @universalhub Because the train itself said Union and the driver said it was a Union train.

[Jill Rodgers @hellosomerjill]

I asked the driver at Haymarket to confirm this was a Union Sq train, because the platform sign said Med/Tufts. He confirmed and announced it over loudspeaker. But DID NOT DRIVE THE TRAIN TO UNION. Transit too slow already + now will also leave you stranded. @MBTA @universalhub

[Jill Rodgers @hellosomerjill]

@MBTA Wait 15 minutes to board a train back to Lechmere and then wait again for a real train out to Union Square? On reduced speeds? No, I rebundled and walked to my final destination because walking is now faster that taking the train.

Orange Line “Attention passengers, the yellow line is not there for decoration, it’s there for your safety. If a train enters the station ringing its bell, don’t look around like, ‘hm, who is standing on the yellow line?’ Look at your OWN FEET, it is probably you.”

The back of the bus is filled with young men and competing colognes.

DeathSantis is at it again. Spectacular week for Florida.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers have proposed legislation making it easier to send convicts to death row by eliminating a unanimous jury requirement in capital punishment sentencing. https://t.co/uIrGNxLJ3D
