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.

My thanks to the various people who make the T run.

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.

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…
