Hey @mbta.com … you are aware that other transit systems clean their stations, yes? Even the walls and ceilings?
Just checking.

My heart sank for a second when I saw his name trending, since he's not exactly a household name. Thankfully, it was for a great reason!

You fell prey to the all-too-common phenomenon of GenX erasure. We preceded Millennials, but weren't named for an overarching event. Though GenX isn't Greek, it began the alphabet trend. We weren't mentioned at all, other than the diagram! 🤪

Headed out soon for today’s #nokings protest in #pittsburgh’s north side. Leaving my regular phone at home and bringing only a deactivated antique with no apps except a camera for uploading pics later, plus a #transit pass card. Stay safe and see you out there!

GenX Midweek Musing: Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that millennials, Gen Z, etc. almost always pronounce this abbreviation "verse" as opposed to "versus"?
Did I miss the memo? Is it some kind of time-saving measure, or something? Will I be assessed a surcharge?

I call it a white nationalist extinction burst ... hopefully, if we're lucky. Many thanks to you as always, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social, for your Sirius show -- and the podcast (for us daywalkers)!

A predominantly black city with a black mayor. Trump will say it's being "mismanaged," of course ... the usual.

Dear @meidastouch.com: your coverage is wonderful + much needed -- thank you! But please sometimes use other adjectives than just "disastrous" (even though it's almost always applicable) when describing the admin? Thanks!

@rjacobhoopes.com, godson of a dear friend, was detained by #ICE @ home in #PDX this week. The warrantless arrest was likely due to his peaceful protest re: the agency on 6/14.
#PDX residents, please attend the hearing today @ 1:30 pm, pass the word + lobby District 2 city council members.

@riverhoundssc.bsky.social, thanks for mentioning public transit in today's email. Please add transit info to your website alongside your info on parking options (which are becoming overwhelmed due to your well-deserved popularity)! A dozen bus routes + light rail @ Station Square.

The Pittsburgh contingent traveled in four #PittsburghRegionalTransit buses -- three of them brand new and sporting PRT's eye-catching new teal and gold color scheme. In addition to the rally and lobbying, we had a great time getting to Harrisburg and back, even though our day started before dawn!

"No Kings" is easy to chant and is a short, easy-to-remember, effective hashtag. If folks want to design detailed signs, awesome (here's the design for a friend's huge May Day protest sign).
"No effing dictators" is the right message, but a little unwieldy as the main title for 50-state protest.

A friend from New England is now a staff member at University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. Normally, it's a college town where people with wildly disparate political views ... more or less ... get along. For #47's commencement speech there today, though, all that is out the window. 🫣
