At the last @TRidersUnion Rally for a Safe T people asked me (one of the organizers) to do a reintroduction. It's happened a few times since so here we go.
Hi my name is Evan, I am an engineer and you can think of this🧵is my story with the T.

UPDATE : The 11 House DEMS "missed" the vote to impeach Hegseth. Brownley Correa Hollen Hosford Jackson (IL) Pelosi Pettersen Stansbury Stevens Strickland Wilson. They didn't show up to vote. Supposed traffic incident or AIPAC donations perhaps? Stocks in Defense companies?
@BostonGlobe @ditikohli_ The battery electric buses still burn diesel fuel in an onboard heater. The whole "bUT HyBRids ArEn'T ELecTRic" argument is nonsense and there are a number of reasons to dislike the "battery" buses. bostonglobe.com/2026/10/22/m…

For anyone who thinks the battery buses are "zero emission" @MBTA tried a fully battery bus &it failed miserably. They redefined it to be zero emissions in propulsion & added a diesel heater to HVAC so it was not considered in the labeling.

Colin Jost's wife Scarlett Johansson quit being an Oxfam ambassador because they didn't want her to promote the Israeli, West Bank-based, SodaStream, so she chose the $$$ instead of Oxfam
I love how sf nuni shows off all their various vehicles and doesn't try to hide the awesomeness of the trolley buses!
Voters made it clear public transit is worth the investment. Thank you to Mayor Lurie, Senators Wiener and Arreguin, and every voter and volunteer who supported both Proposition H and the Regional Transit Measure. Safe, reliable, and frequent service is here to stay! 💪🚌

Holy crap what did they find this weekend while they were doing work?
Green Line: Due to signal upgrades, there will be no service between North Station & Babcock St (B), Cleveland Circle (C), Kenmore (D), & Heath St (E) Nov 7 - 15.
Use buses to Copley/Back Bay. Use Orange Line between Back Bay & North Station.

ALT Alternative service options during work on the Green Line, November 7 - 15.
My thanks to the various people who make the T run.
Thank you to all our Local 589 members who worked tonight to help passengers get to their destinations and enjoy Halloween celebrations safely. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to keeping Boston moving!

Another successful fix ⏤ after 49 years and 16 billion miles! 🔧
Engineers recently turned off devices on Voyager 1 and substituted them with lower-power alternatives. Nicknamed the “Big Bang,” the energy-saving effort will allow the remaining instruments to operate longer. ½
ALT In a photo from the 1970s, engineers gather around one of the Voyager spacecraft before it was launched.

Jake Auchincloss is the only member of the MA delegation not on this. Shame on him.

Private equity & billionaires are pouring millions on Question 3 to buy MA elections & rig them in favor of the ultra-wealthy.
I'm with @voterrightsma & a grassroots coalition to say HELL NO to Question 3 so we can keep power in the hands of the people. facebook.com/share/v/1CQdmjs…

This is the only bad idea I have not yet seen suggested as an alternative to the Blue Hill Ave bus lane...
but I am sure Worrell can have an AI draft something for him soon.

I am old enough that when I started computers didn't have mouse ports or usb ports. The mouse *if* you have one plugged into the RS-232 port. I built a few devices that plugged into the parallel port.

Can they also release 4 hours of deaths squads in Northern Ireland?
WATCH: Britain’s ITN has released ~4 hours of previously sealed 1989 Tiananmen footage — filmed by the team that smuggled the tapes out of China.
The material, archived for ~35 years, includes a 2-hour crackdown compilation and 90 minutes of secretly filmed raw rushes from the days after, showing military trucks on Beijing streets, crowds, and the aftermath.
