It's long past time for @BostonLogan to give different designations to the parts of Terminal B. It's too hard for people to know which part they are supposed to go to. #BOS

The Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
The F-35 design was broken at the requirements level, because it was required to be too many things to too many people. This made it an expensive & complex jack of all trades, master of none. Success was never in the set of possible outcomes. And manned fighter jets are obsolete in the age of drones anyway. Will just get pilots killed.

Has anyone asked @SenatorCollins and @lisamurkowski why they are still in the Republican party?

You keep saying @tiziana_dearing on @Wbur that you're listening to @sethmoulton but actually you're just thinking about your next question and interrupting him. You're also demanding that he apologize for something that does not warrant an apology.

I've set up over on the azure heavens place.

I went to early voting this morning and voted for Harris. I'll be working at the polls in my town on Tuesday. I wish my vote counted as much toward the final result as someone in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.

Just got back from Germany and France. Riding the @MBTA Silver Line from Logan is such a come-down that it couldn't be recommended to intl. visitors. First, it's not a rail line but a bus that gets stuck in traffic. 1/X

Second, when it gets to its own dedicated tunnel, then it's the slowest and bumpiest part of the miserable ride. When you finally get to to South Station, you get to board the rolling museum known as the Red Line. It's an embarrassment. 2/2

„Coffee to go“ kennt man. Aber „Pfötchen to go?“ Es wird doch niemand Pfötchen essen? Erst der zweite Blick lässt vermuten, worum es hier geht. Und da wir gerade beim Thema sind: Ist die Variante „to go“ im Englischen gebräuchlich? Heißt es nicht eher: „Coffee to take away“?

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

Once again, having way too many speakers is dragging the DNC way past prime time.

To mark the #DemocraticConvention #DNC2024 #DNC we've had fun adapting @Eddy_Grant's gloriously hopeful international anti-apartheid anthem from 1988. So here's 🎶 "Gimme Hope Kamala" - a parody twist about @KamalaHarris 💙 vs #DonaldTrump 🍊 that pulls no punches.

N.B. @MBTA
the oldest subway line in Asia, built in 1927, manages to run every 2 minutes in the peak & was retrofitted with platform edge doors in the 1990s

The Marsh Family @MarshSongs doesn't hold back.
Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶 Shout out #americast (@BBCsarahsmith/@awzurcher) & @RestIsPolitics for ℹ️ profiles 👍
