Birthday Harvest #Supermoon off Plum Island with what appears to be a plane swooping before it, photo by me

A couple weeks ago I went to a concert and the bouncer said that George Costanza would be envious of my apparently chonky wallet. I chuckled and later looked up the reference. I’ve probably seen less than a dozen Seinfeld episodes. I was busy working my way through college and grad school then.

One time I saw an urn at that beach when I was riding by. It’s definitely haunted.

Interesting video - I feel like it’s time to stop using the Strava app and rely more on my Garmin devices

The upside to going to the beach at night is that I don’t have to worry about getting a sunburn. The downside? Well I guess there’s a risk of encountering the ghosts of Whitey Bulger’s victims - but I haven’t seen any yet. And it is Halloween season, so… #Boston #Dorchester

If you ride the MBTA, chances are you’ve seen an alert about a signal problem delaying your train. The T is in the middle of a project to improve the signal system on the Red and Orange lines so it can react to problems faster.

As I was unlocking my bike after shopping at the supermarket yesterday a guy pulled up on this ebike with this adorable dog in the rear basket! A reminder that even in neighborhoods without great bike infrastructure people still use bicycles to help live their lives better. #Boston #Dorchester

DOT withdrew a $20 million grant awarded in 2022 to transform three streetscapes in Boston. The reversal was based in part on the project's electric vehicle charging stations, which the administration said contradicted its preference for promoting “traditional forms of energy and natural resources,”

“The word ‘active’ was the most striking. Participants who described themselves this way were significantly less likely to die during the study period – with a 21% lower risk.” The traits of being lively, organised, responsible, hard-working, thorough and helpful followed closely behind.

The #USPS is holding a vote to choose a stamp to reissue, and one of them is the “Emancipation Proclamation” stamp. Wouldn’t it be great if that one won by a landslide? #Vote online at www.stampsforever.com/vote The deadline is Sept 30th, please act now!

This is how fascism looks like

The renovation of a bike path through a park in Cambridge is set to resume this fall after a judge ruled in the city’s favor, lifting an injunction that had brought the project to a halt.

Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

Appalling. “A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” she said.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Disappointing news as Feds pull funding for two local streets projects that would have funded busways and pedestrian improvements. The new US DOT aims at “reducing roadway traffic congestion by preserving or increasing roadway capacity for motor vehicles” in the @bostonglobe.com #InducedDemand

‘Court of King Trump’: how media barons are bowing to president to protect key deals

Part of our constitutional crisis is that Republicans are stopping Congress from playing its fundamental oversight role.

I have a pretty long multimodal commute. Today it took me to a galaxy far far away, where I saw Ewoks gathered around a campfire. #Halloween #StarWars #bikecommute

Among the IG Nobel prize winners this year: “Indian researchers landed the engineering prize for building a shoe rack that neutralised the odour of smelly trainers. The rack, more of a cardboard box, contained a UV lamp that killed the offending bacteria in minutes. It also burnt the trainers.”

The speed humps that the City of Boston installed near me in December have slowed traffic and improved street safety dramatically

Oh hey - maybe I can afford this Rivian EV! #ebike #bicycle

Russia moved to amplify online conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s killing just hours after it happened, seeding social media with the frightening claim that America is slipping into civil war.

Ha! The NYT has been sane washing Trump for decades and they still get sued by him.

Boston's fed grant to improve safety at key intersections has been cancelled by USDOT because, according to the agency: "DOT's priorities presently include... preserving or increasing roadway capacity for motor vehicles... [the] project includes several elements that impede vehicle capacity & speed"
