@boston.gov @mayorwu.boston.gov We love our Zero Waste days but could we do them more often? 45-minute line of cars this time. The team runs things really well — but they’re popular! 🔥

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag “Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management. Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless
A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

I just love the way physicians,nurses, public health experts, scientists, etc, are standing on business defending vaccines and calling out dangerous BS publicly. I see you, keep fighting the good fight. Keep making good trouble.
