@Madness832 @OldSchoolBoston From another time this was posted:

someone posted the streetview: https://t.co/20yHaaKSjF

it looks like the center building with the mansard roof is still there, as well as the one with bay windows on the right

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

It's once again time for us to dance another round of the endless dance, @311Somerville

at the corner of Burnham St and Powderhouse Blvd

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

@311Somerville here we go againnn 🎵 you know the drill!

Corner of Burnham St and Powderhouse Blvd. Also would it be possible to put one also at the crosswalk of Leonard and Powderhouse?

Tetlock:

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

Gary's "prediction" is the platonic form of the frustrating "vague verbiage" pseudo predictions that partly motivated Tetlock's work. He makes maybe a single quantitative prediction (if you want to be generous). Everything else leaves enough wiggle room to fly a 747 through

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

@Nick_Davidov You can read my new substack article to see what i think will follow. Re bona fides, I don’t think it is remotely outside my expertise. Here’s why (from that article):

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

At the extremes, you can probably refute or confirm these predictions. But: what counts as "massive"? What does "disappointing" mean? What counts as a "price war"? What does "very little" mean? What does "robust" mean? What does "modest" mean?

DON'T RAT OPEN INSIDE

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

Ahhh, the ol' Somerville Surprise. Fool me once

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

@311Somerville LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY

...at the corner of leonard st and powderhouse blvd

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

Damn, being able to leave a mountain of trash out overnight is Swiss privilege. If you did this in Somerville you'd wake up to a rat king the size of a humvee

[Sabina Stefan @sabina__stefan]

I can't express how insanely happy I am that this is finally out! It's been a long time in the making, with fellow first co-author Konrad Walek first collecting the data in 2016. It's been such a big effort, and I'm really proud of this work.

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

@311Somerville it was glorious while it lasted but we both knew you'd be back 🥲 corner of Broadway and Wallace/Leonard, same as last time

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

@311Somerville I am once again asking for your support in fixing the in-street crosswalk sign that someone annihilated with the harrowing power of a callow god, at Broadway and Wallace

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]

lmao imagine not being rustpilled and cargobased

[Declan Oller @heyitdeclan]
