Anyone who talks about the middle class, exclusively, in an urban setting, should not be trusted.

It’s often signaling for a white, low density, car centric lifestyle.

That John hates the housing ordinance, bike lanes, and wants to focus on “neighborhood centered policy” is the tell.

Denser housing and less cars in the road makes a city more affordable for everyone, especially the middle class.

@misc I also want to see more candidate-led slates in general. I'm sure some people would say being in multiple groups would be confusing/diluting, but like, please, send me this 3 person slate and the 7 person ABC/CBS/Ayah slate. Make many slates along the different axes so we can see where […]

@misc I would love to see the ABC/CBS overlap send out a similar letter. And to be fair to Burhan, he probably felt that if he included any incumbents, then he'd have to include them all. Maybe that works great/better, but my guess is he doesn't feel like that would lift new people up enough […]

@Andres4NY at work we don't use Office, but most engineering software is windows based, so that's what I got. I made the mistake recently when trying to uninstall anything extraneous when I uninstalled Office and that broke my Solidworks install. Trying to find how to download some form of […]

@misc it feels like it's Burhan going through with trying to uplift new people, which he has been pretty open about encouraging leading up to this cycle

(but I have heard through the grapevine that some incumbents aren't super excited to be excluded)

@ted I got distracted on my way to work getting all the drains on my walk to a BlueBike this morning, plus one in a bike lane that was flooded 4 in deep

@Kevin @thomasconnor yeah, with how science is appreciated right now, I'd be so superstitious about it

This year, for the first time, CBS sent a School Committee candidate questionnaire. We’re publishing all responses so voters can easily review each candidate’s positions on school-related biking and safe-routes issues: www.cambridgebikesafety.org/2025/09/26/2...

@misctakes.com some of us are still here on Mastodon, would love to have people come back. The bridge is nice, but definitely a hack.

Next Monday, 6pm at the BTU School there will be a hearing about safety improvements on Hyde Park Ave

We're calling for folks to come early and sign up to testify to ensure we don't have another tragic injury on Hyde Park Ave!

You know why Republicans keep winning elections? Yes, there's the disenfranchisement and gerrymandering and other assorted cheating. But there's also the fact that they choose a narrative and then they force-feed that narrative down their constituents' throats until it's all the constituents can […]

@knizer went to this last night (thanks to you posting about it), and as someone that goes to circus school and likes trains, it was perfectly* made for me

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, VERY COOL
