for me, i think it probably looks less lame
1. go for more walks, but check on my agents
2. go to more kid events, but checking on my agents
but for these 20 yr olds who haven’t hit burnout, i can imagine how dark it might feel

A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.
I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

Come in to Gracie’s on Valentine’s Day with your Valentine to get a free button, or come in alone to get two buttons as a reminder that our ice cream is as cold as your ex’s heart. You’re better off without them.

Apparently Utrecht's bus system is falling apart.
Made the decision to switch from diesel to all electric.
Failed to:
- install enough chargers.
- buy enough buses for added downtime.
In Dutch tradition, 1/5 drivers are now burnt out from the stress from the change.

Just had a lightbulb moment: the reason drivers in South Williamsburg are so bad is that Hasidic women are not allowed to drive. It’s probably entirely a gender composition effect.

I complained to the city of Cambridge about the uncleared 66/86 bus stop in Harvard Square and it got cleared. A bit.
But buses still can’t pull to the curb so disabled riders still can’t board.
