Google just sent me a "Welcome to Gemini" email with the notice at the bottom "This message was sent to you because you signed up to use Gemini."

THE HELL I DID. I TURNED OFF EVERY SMART FEATURE I COULD FIND. I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR GEMINI. FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF GOOGLE.

My kingdom for a music streaming service that doesn't suck*

Had a busy day, and it was so nice to be able to finally comfortably bike between my many activities. This winter has been brutal.

Faucet poll! because I’ve run into this a few times. When confronted with a kitchen faucet with a single temperature lever that moves forwards and backwards, what should pulling the handle towards you/away from the wall do? (Photo example in next post)

Plant based foods and diets are generally better for people and the environment. However, when I get a granola bar advertised as plant-based, I know I'm about to eat the worst granola bar ever.

I spent an inordinate amount of time today looking at the MBTA bus route map to figure out how I was going to get to dinner tonight. Which made me revisit a discussion on here from ~2 years ago with @crystalvisits@mas.wrong.tools about the need for a #Somerville circulator shuttle, sponsored by the city. Spent some time tonight finding opportunities for smaller cross-town shuttles. I think my two favorites are:
Assembly to Market Basket
and
Davis to West Somerville

Today I learned that my friend's brother bought a goat. The goat came with an emotional support horse. I can't get over this fact now.

Ngl I love that gen z men are bringing back the moustache.

I am actually rather frustrated with the Boston area's snow response this year. Yes, it was a lot and we haven't seen this much in a while and yes it has been colder than usual, but it has been weeks and
- crosswalks are still blocked in
- Bike lanes are still blocked, and
- parking is still dramatically reduced

That effectively limits transportation to ride shares or public transit, which are expensive and lack coverage, respectively.

My kingdom for a theater in #Boston that

1. Is rentable hourly
2. Has a real lighting setup with a board
3. Has a real sound system with a board
4. is T accessible
5. Has a bar and maybe even food, and
6. Is vaguely affordable for small independent productions.

Bonus points for a green room and lobby.

I think The Rockwell may be the only space that achieves this, and they’re booked solid.
