Hospitals in Massachusetts are facing a shortage of IV fluids after Hurricane Helene disrupted production at a key facility in North Carolina. The fluids are a critical tool for hydrating patients. They're used for a wide range of reasons, including to support patients during surgery and for people with kidney failure to use at home.

Peabody #BikeBus is newsworthy! Stay tuned!

Very poor taste that an employee at our elementary school has a semi-automatic rifle sticker on his Jeep. My kid hasn’t even been in kindergarten a month and has already had to do active shooter drills.

A Giuliani Endorses Harris!
Rudy Giuliani’s daughter says she ‘lost her dad’ to Trump and begs people to vote for Harris
‘After months of feeling the type of sorrow that comes from the death of a loved one, it dawned on me that I’ve been grieving the loss of my dad to Trump. I cannot bear to lose our country to him too,’ the former mayor’s daughter wrote

Happy last day of the fiscal year to all who celebrate
It’s raining, and I’m just not up for biking to do school pickup. So I’m gonna drive instead, and that’s not ideal, but it’s OK.
Funny how there’s no childless men
Guys, you’re not gonna believe this… but data from Lime e-bikes reveals that users overwhelmingly prefer to travel in protected bike lanes instead of shared lanes. Maybe we should build more of them? https://usa.streetsblog.org/2024/09/25/report-shows-again-why-cities-must-build-safe-bike-lanes

Seattle is trying to hire a Sr. Vision Zero Planner. Working under Harrell isn't ideal but I've been converted to thinking Spotts is flexing influence where possible, so I suspect this role would be relatively empowered.
Let's get someone that understands we can't just use multi-modal carrots. We need to make driving more difficult.
Memorial Drive and the Charles Riverfront should be for people

We've updated our story on Monday's motor vehicle homicide on #MassDCR's Memorial Drive with an eyewitness account alleging that the victim was on the Paul Dudley White path when their killer veered off the roadway and hit them head-on:

Dear reader, i absolutely did respond by email, requesting that all communications be kept on the written record. I will not be effed over by another HR office.
IME, all HR people seem to respond to email with a phonecall, and that greatly deepens my distrust of them.

AITA if I comment suggesting that it should be called “100 Years of Setbacks In Cambridge”
