  1. The critical importance of good policy on police body cameras is made extremely clear following recent events in #CambridgeMA. On August 21, the Cambridge Police Department, who already have body cameras, fatally shot 64-year-old William Woodworth near Central Square.

    Woodworth's family are fighting hard to get access to the body camera footage, but the District Attorney is insisting that the footage not be released yet.

  2. You don’t usually spot a LOTUS around Central Sq #CambridgeMA often.

  3. We also ran into a ton of neighbors last night who were also celebrating #AllstonChristmas. One was wearing a very nice Cotopaxi backpack that had been an Allston Christmas gift in a previous year, and she said she always wore it to celebrate and take home her presents. As is traditional, we wished everyone good hunting.

  4. 1369 in Central Square, #CambridgeMA is my go-to morning stop for a cortado these days.

    Cambridge has a great density of good coffee shops.

  5. Cambridge Christmas walkabout score with my friends who are moving today. 24” tv/monitor, microwave, usb wall warts, new synthesizer stand, water bottles galore, still early but the streets are starting to get things put out. #cambridgema #allstonchristmas

  6. Meet Your Neighbor Month

    Potentially fun community-building events in #CambridgeMA.

    (I don't know what to make of the gamifying "passport" stamps/checklist, and the small bits of commercial intersection, but there are some good ideas and icebreakers.)

  7. Be Open-Minded!

    Back in 1991, this was an ad for UNIX EXPO in UNIX World magazine.

    Today, it's an invite to a polycule house party in Somerville, MA.

    IYKYK.

  8. @knizer @swachter weather for tomorrow nights near total lunar eclipse is kind of sketchy but there will probably be some holes in the clouds. If I set up Cambridge ish would you be interested in coming by? Otherwise I might just watch it from waltham

  9. One of the nice things about #CambridgeMA is the #CurbShopping opportunity.

    Especially from mid-May through September 1st, as students and visiting academics move away.

    I no longer shop from the curb, but sometimes post to the #MIT #Reuse list things I stumble across, on errand and exercise walks.

    This morning's best was an Onkyo 6-CD changer, in box.

    (Actually, possibly better was a large TCL flatscreen TV, a few blocks down Oxford, if it worked.)

  10. Spotted in the bathroom at Flat Top Johnny’s in #CambridgeMA

  11. Haven’t been online much but I wanted to share this op-ed I just published about the race in my hometown of #CambridgeMA between Rep. Marjorie Decker and @evanforcambridge.bsky.social

    I really put my heart in it and I hope you'll read and share … and if you live in the 25th district, vote for Evan.

  12. If you’re missing your potato in #CambridgeMA, it’s at the Mt Auburn St & DeWolfe St bus stop.

  14. On my way back to #Boston / #CambridgeMA from #SanFrancisco and JetBlue Mint is making it super easy.
