Based on the @MBTA performance this week I think Phil Eng needs to go down to only one job...

Emmy Awards 2025: Almost unwatchable due to insane ad-load. #Emmys #toomanycommercials

Here's my @ezraklein Abundance example of the day. $302m for a bike bridge that goes for all of a long city block. #Abundance https://t.co/hsRARDHcVD

Dear @cvspharmacy: I don't need to get a 'how did we do' survey in my inbox every time I buy something at one of your stores.

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

@F45Training Disappointed by the bait and switch. Wanted to sign up for your 4 weeks up to 8 workouts plan advertised on your web site but was informed that one MUST actually sign up for 2 months. This is the type of misleading info that people HATE about gyms

Given Canada's penchant for egalitarianism, it's disappointing the the Toronto International Film Festival has about a zillion premium/VIP/special access levels before tickets go on sale to the public, by which time the preponderance of seats are already sold. #TIFF24 #tiff

@tiff_help Hello - I am an Insider and have not received my Discount Code for the sale that begins at 10am. Help! Thank you...

@Nike I'm never buying one of your products again. The 'Am I a Bad Person' ad is horrible. Emblematic of the decline in civility and discourse.

@thecoolidge $2.75 fee on a $15.50 ticket? C'mon...

@_weniam_ @OnlyInBOS @universalhub Because public transportation is woeful

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

@BillWalczak Disgraceful.

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

@T4MASS Despite my support for it, we can't seriously discuss it for MA until public transportation is frequent, reliable, pervasive, and affordable -- which is the case in other places that have successfully implemented congestion pricing.

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

Thank you @thecoolidge for putting #hitmanmovie on MH1 for several screenings over the next week!

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

@MassBike We don't need a study. We need the long-proposed pedestrian bridge over the Mystic. That would solve 90% of the problem.

@growingwisdom Dave, a possible fun fact for central Maine. Given two significant snowfalls over the past ten days, did they receive more snowfall during official 'spring' than official 'winter'? Bet it's close! #weatherwisdom

Some nice shoutouts to the @thecoolidge in this fun @BostonGlobe piece sharing readers' movie-theater memories. https://t.co/50aXYWIiap

@linakhanFTC @FTC Suggest you go after Ticketmaster (aka Ripoffmaster). They have a near monopoly on the market and charge egregious fees of 30-40% on top of the ticket price. And consumers have no alternative. Way worse than the tech folks you're targeting.

@cdempc Newton Center. Remove that awful, 60s-era parking lot off Beacon St., change the traffic pattern, and make the area much more bucolic, and pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

@DennisDoughty @MBTA I'm imagining what it would be like for visitors to Boston. Having just spent two weeks again, where I won't even start on the marvels of their public transportation system...

[Mark Lowenstein @marklowenstein]

On the @MBTA for the first time in ages. If I was a visitor I'd be lost -- the digital display of upcoming stations isn't working and neither is the auto voice. Occasional unintelligible announcements from the operator, interspersed with his two-way radio circa 1910
