Parade of ensuittened VIPs walking the office, loudly clucking about how no one's in the office, disturbing the work of those of us in the office.

Apparently one of the VIPs knows me, waved hi, i didn't wave back because i was having a rare burst of goblin-mode productivity, and now it's An Issue. I love the cube farm.

This is an ingenious design. I hate the U-lock taking up all the space inside the frame, and my new stump jumper frame has no space for one at all. This seems perfect. Anyone tried it?

@shoq looks like Amazon "borrowed" the Abus design that's been around for a bit. I have one, and it is great. I can't speak to it's theft-resistance, but it's as easy to carry as you'd imagine https://www.rei.com/product/171613/abus-ugrip-bordo-5700-folding-lock

@ebooksyearn yeah, pretty much. BRAC was in some ways almost a mass-layoff event for DoD. i think this has similar motivations

Mine: When our Federal government tried to deny payout on my wife's life insurance policy because of an administrative error, i wrote 638 words that included CFR, USC, and case law citations absolutely tearing them apart. We got paid.

Totally untested take that might be 100% wrong in several ways, tell me if I am:

Walking advocacy has had trouble attracting heat, because everyone just… does it. But runners are organized in clubs, persnickety about routes, and maybe can be engaged to fight for better pedestrian networks, maybe?

but what if I need to pick up a big jug of kombucha, cardamom, hand soap, 36 cans of seltzer, and a 40 lb bag of kibble

Exciting news, the #FreshPond Beer Garden is coming back on Friday! Possibly the most charmingly uncool beer garden in the #Boston area, and therefore my favorite. #CambridgeMA

I missed this, but hooray, Somerville killed the WB Highland right-only lane into Davis Square and gave it to people on bikes! Little yet huge upgrade.

@bikepedantic@transportation.social avatar

@Andres4NY Beacon St! it is the perfect bike lane, and it is in Somerville

bikepedantic,
@bikepedantic@transportation.social avatar

@Andres4NY and i get to go ride it in 30 minutes to meet up with my girlfriend, it's forever my favorite

@bikepedantic@transportation.social avatar

@DemonHusky yeah it’s weird. Hoping it’s just a proof of concept and they’ll revise it when highland gets repaved
