@davetron5000 Looks like folks would rather be sustainable than agile!

@cmeik It’s been an hour. Did you get it?

[Jeff Kolesky @jeffkole]

@davetron5000 I remember you making a similar claim about not joining a consumer or ad-oriented company and then bailing for LS 😀

@sfmta_muni Thank you. I really do appreciate it. Buses and bikes and cars and pedestrians can all coexist safely. I use all four modes and try my best.

@sfmta_muni driver honked at me & blew past me through the intersection of McAllister/Filmore to cut me off at the bus stop. I was safely to the right of the lane. He could wait 5 seconds for me to make space. Can we get mandatory bike safety training for all drivers please?

@ahl @b0rk @transposit Bah. You don’t even have a correlated subquery!

[Jeff Kolesky @jeffkole]

@b0rk Have you tried @tachyons_css ?

As of today, @votefwd volunteers have prepared ONE MILLION letters to unlikely voters in key districts. There's still one more day to write letters from home. Hit up https://t.co/wQ1zyDcGLn, spread the word, and get out the vote 🇺🇸💌

@ahl Woot!

Would anyone support me in starting the “rational and pragmatic” party? We aren’t liberal, progressive, conservative, or anything else. Just strive to be rational and pragmatic instead of irrational and dogmatic.

@davetron5000 A while ago I started to form an analogy with dev teams and commercial kitchens. It didn’t go anywhere, but now I’m inspired to think through it again.
