I’ve spent past 2 yr helping needy ppl complete @GBREB Rental Application. Is most screwed up, out of date (copy right 1969) badly designed, confusing form I’ve ever had to work with. And I worked in health care & have a PhD. Seems like one more insult to ppl scrambling to rent

Happy Friday. Just remember while you are recycling and biking to save the earth, some jackarse is flying from Bedford to Logan. Hard to stay positive with this. @universalhub

How are we going to resolve these contradictions? Could the @nytopinion discuss the CO2 footprint & impact of private jet travel, please?

'new study has found melting Arctic glaciers are releasing dangerous methane. One B.C. researcher says it's a warning sign that Canada's melting North could be part of a climate feedback loop' “We actually found methane everywhere” #ClimateChange #news vancouverisawesome.com/highl…

How can anyone on the planet look at these graphics from today and attempt an explanation? Hunga-Tonga. Saharan Dust. IMO 2020. El Nino. If there's a climate scientist who can say something more definitive than this is an unprecedented concurrence of f&%keries, let them speak!

Replying to @Massport
@Massport buses repeatedly delayed by willful selfish drivers. @MassStatePolice need to be aggressively ticketing @MassportCAC

@Massport - the bus driver told me that cars block bus stop all the time. There was NO @MassStatePolice at Term B but further down road 1 was uselessly standing at a stop light. Why r cops not enforcing NO PARKING?

I fücking LOVE this
A group of San Franciscans realized that they can disable Waymo and Cruise robotaxis by placing a traffic cone on the vehicle's hood. They're now encouraging others to do it: "Hell no, we do not consent to this."

Breaking News! The Earth Energy Imbalance for April, 2023 was just released by CERES: the 12-month running mean is now at new high of 1.81 W/m². This is equivalent to saying the Earth has been heating at an average rate of 14.6 Hiroshimas per second over the last 12 months.

🔥📈BREAKING @NASA 📈🔥 The Earth Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data broke through 1.8 W/m² (12-month mean)! This is faster than I expeced. More than many experts thought possible. I called this the most important graph in the world. A lot more heat is accumulating!

Six months of the Boston skyline. I put a beer-can pinhole camera on the roof of my building in the North End on the winter solstice. Today, I took it down.

This is reason @MayorWu ‘s @BostonPlans must approve & @RobConsalvo support 28 100% affordable unit development on Dale St Roslindale. I expect my Mayor will not give in to xenophobic NIMBYs. The 1 acre is an infestation of invasive plants better used for housing @swbcdc
