Important point @StuartLHart makes in his book “Beyond Shareholder Primacy” where he talks about community, cooperation, and collaboration as the touch points of a stakeholder based economy. I’ve argued for a number of years that community is what is missing from today’s world.

I will be relying on your retweets and "likes" more than ever before.

There is an organized campaign going after me—hard—with the purpose of hurting my reach and the number of people who will even know that I posted something.

You don't have to, and, frankly, I hate having to ask you. However, when it comes to democracy... I'll ask anyone...for anything...if I think doing so will make a difference. I believe, in this instance...it will.

I appreciate you...and your assistance. The fight goes on.

Any chance MLS might start calling illegal throw-ins? I know it seems elementary, but some of these guys are 2 feet into the field of play!

One of the most impactful changes we made to #BTV government was to add data analytics capacity. @BTVStat played a large role keeping #BTV + VT safe during the pandemic and now is giving us new insights into the local impacts of + fight to stop the climate emergency

@stlCITYsc Illegal throw-in. So obvious. What were refs watching? And what about VAR?

[Scot Barker @sbarker]

Wow. Just watched #maestro and am floored. What an absolute work of art!

I really dislike the late offsides flag in professional soccer these days. Linesmen should just raise the flag as soon as they see a player offsides - assuming there is a true advantage by a player being in the position. Stop with the delayed offsides calls!

"The co-location of the VCJR recovery and re-entry center with a new primary care practice in the downtown is already proving to have a positive impact for the clients they serve, and is an example of the urgent, innovative responses we need to meet this moment." @MiroBTV

I think I’ve found my new favorite bar: The 126 on College st in Burlington, VT. They also have my new favorite bartender: Isaac.

Why are there still turf athletic fields in the professional arenas and stadiums?!?

Excited to be heading to Washington, DC for the Bloomberg #citylab2023 this week. Can’t wait to connect with colleagues working to bring innovative solutions to municipalities and share ideas!

One of the benefits of having a daughter in college in Montreal is getting celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. A lot like US Thanksgiving, but in October!

It seems @UPS is going to leverage AI to better protect against porch pirates. What about when @UPS is effectively the porch pirate? When they lost/damaged a package themselves? They still haven’t contacted me or refunded my cost!

Overheard on futbol broadcast: “we know he isn’t good with his feet.” Ummm…how are you on the pitch (not a keeper) if you aren’t good with your feet?

[Scot Barker @sbarker]

Gas blowers and trimmers at 7 am Sunday morning? Are you kidding me?
