- Bizarre to me that people think the French cleaned the Seine by like, pouring chlorine in for a day? No, they completely reworked their sewer and stormwater management system! It's going to keep working after the Olympics! This is a *good* thing, cleaning rivers is good.
- The Democratic Party’s highest paid consultants spent four years carefully developing the most technologically advanced election winner ever seen. Then they unleashed him against Big Sheetz Dude and he immediately wilted like the German robot on the roof of Chernobyl.
- Honestly, I figured that this app would be dead by now. But here we all are together after another year of incredibly bad tweets, and here I am again, sharing my 5th annual personal selection of the year's worst. Past highlights:Alright, it's time for my annual rundown of the year's worst tweets. A bunch of people do similar lists these days, as far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier. For reference, here's my compilation from last year: x.com/alexschief/sta…
- Replying to @alexschiefPeople get justifiably mad about massive public subsidies for sports venues with a dodgy post-Olympics use case. But using the Olympics as an engine of political capital to get big urban infrastructure projects done for public benefit? That's why you bid for the games!
- Replying to @mindyisserIs Ron saying he identifies as something that he was not assigned at birth?
- Replying to @alexschiefI want to start with a few special citations. I thought the year's best bit was this incredible tag-team effort. What started as a strong initial concept culminated in maybe my favorite post of the year.
- Was getting concerned about my halal truck guy after he hadn’t been on the street for the last couple weeks, but it turns out that he was just down at PHL interpreting for arriving Afghan refugees. You want to talk about making America great? Here’s a guy who is doing it.
- Apartments under $1000/mo in four metros: 7 listings, 27 listings, 71 listings, 509 listings
- Replying to @alexschiefThe Conor Lamb campaign had a strategy to win the vote of every party functionary and campaign staffer in the state, and boy did they ever execute that strategy. You can question if that was the right goal to shoot for, but you can’t question their success in achieving it.
- Some days, my timeline is full of tweets from San Francisco that are like: “After two days of nonstop public comment, the board of supervisors voted 6-5 to allow a bike rack to be built in front of a fourth wave coffee shop that had attacked the proposed rack as gentrification.”
- Folks, I’ve just been biking around the lakes, and I need to report that it’s one of those Minnesota evenings where you cannot understand how or why people would live elsewhere.
