@CityOfBoston - this morning two cars ran the red light and crosswalk where the Neponset River Trail crosses Granite Ave in Dorchester. As a husband, father, and runner, this is terrifying. Please consider a red light camera.

@Bergdorfs - I guess y’all don’t play a lot of backgammon 🧐

[Chris Brown @TopherRBrown]

@wutrain - please consider adding more safety measures where the Neponset River Trail crosses Granite Ave in Dorchester: I’ve seen two cars run that light in the last month! It’s an active crosswalk for walkers, runners, cyclists, etc. and easy to imagine a life-changing accident

[Chris Brown @TopherRBrown]

@MBTA - seems like some pretty imbalanced scheduling. Might be understandable that Alewife gets 2x but not 4x… or more…

[Chris Brown @TopherRBrown]

Shots fired.

@AmazonHelp Same result :/

When you FINALLY find the refund button for your undelivered @amazon order… 🤔😤

@AmazonHelp Hi Greg - it’s listed as Sold By: https://t.co/GHAjGGyh3w Services LLC

Great to hear about this pattern in YC cohorts; the fight against climate change needs every willing changemaker.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A YC partner told me about a new pattern they're seeing: a lot of the smartest and most ambitious founders are working on companies addressing climate change. There are 25 in the current YC batch.

Since I was sworn in on January 20, our economy has created nearly 6 million new jobs—a record for a new president.

Worth reading about trying the Holmes schedule before trying it yourself

[Alexandra Petri @petridishes]

I tried the schedule! I am exhausted https://t.co/YYWfNO2Ps9

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life".

And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan.

So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.

@IndraNooyi Mentors may have the final word, BUT prospective mentees have to make two preceding choices:
1) show up as their best selves w/ & w/o their desired mentor present
2) engage with their desired mentors in a compelling way.

Hard to imagine a strong relationship w/o all 3 choices.

So epic!!

Great read on modeling best practices learned from the trenches of covid-19 estimates; reminded me of takeaways from @NateSilver538’s & @brianchristian / Tom Griffiths’s books

[Youyang Gu @youyanggu]

I share 6 lessons I learned over this past year as a Covid modeler with @sioroberts & @techreview:

1. Focus on fundamentals
2. Minimize assumptions
3. Test the hypothesis
4. Learn from mistakes
5. Engage critics
6. Exercise healthy skepticism

Georgia Republicans just made it a crime to hand water to voters as they wait and faint in these Shelby lines. #SB202 is disgraceful, unconstitutional, and nothing less than Jim Crow 2.0.

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

Bike Twitter says my seat was too low. Can confirm.

[Esosa Osa @Esosa_Osa]

THREAD: What does voter suppression look like? Here's what Georgia Republicans stuffed inside ONE of the nearly 50 anti-voting bills filed post runoff. #HB531 will:

Eliminate Sunday Voting, Slash 108 Total Available Hrs of Early Vote, Remove 1 of 2 Sat Vote Options, #gapol 1/8
