Some photos from the #DykeMarch last night in #Boston. This one was really special. Music, poetry, and a group of people who damn well want you to know you are welcome there and that yes, this is your place too. #Pride #BostonPride
if a #livingwage for metro #boston starts at $46K, why are employers allowed to pay anything less? And, why are #realestate and #property costs (extremely conservatively displayed on this chart) completely off the rails, deepening the pain?
Again, it seems like folks are out here doing the #math wrong, but it doesnt matter to them because some people are just that selfish

Hey #Allston #Brighton #Boston peeps! Between now and June 9, you can't get to the Allston Stop & Shop via Arthur Street, i.e., the street off of N. Beacon with Wolfer's on the left and the car dealership on the right. You need to take Guest Street, i.e., the street with the skating arena and all the other recent development, instead. See the attached map (Stop & Shop is in the upper right corner). There's another detour June 12-16; read on for details. 1/2

🌞 Good morning #fediverse! This is GBH News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 62F at Logan Airport and visibility is 9 miles, up from 6 miles yesterday, when smoke from Canadian #wildfires blanketed the city.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was a passenger in a police vehicle that collided with another car in Hyde Park.
#Journalists at Gannett papers staged a walkout to coincide with the company's annual shareholder meeting to protest job cuts.
Just out -- a complete list of closings and openings in the local area for the month of May, and there were a whole lot of changes. https://hiddenboston.com/closings-openings.html
Most strikingly, despite enormous problems, people are a lot more upbeat, optimistic, and have taken their destiny in their own hands (they are not expecting our handouts, or our "help" to solve their problems) lest their lives are altered by catastrophes not of their creation. Contrast that with us in the West, we seem to wallow, and whine in catastrophism and pessimism. Where's the sense of optimism that literally made the US what it is? If we are ever going to change the world, we better start there, changing our mindset and being more proactive and having a sense of public commitment and not lease that off to the privateers.

People are way more aware and mindful in the usage and disposal of resources (water, food, waste etc.,), build tree covers, less/no use of single-use plastics etc., without thumping their chest that they are "saving the planet". Maybe as a consequence of the pandemic or otherwise, the levels of public sanitation, and cleanliness were the best I have seen. For us, in the West, conservation seems to be an empty slogan to soothe our heartburns!

#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
How about overhauling the MBTA in Boston (supposedly one of the better mass transit systems in the US that looks even more like a joke) for example?
Before people give excuses as to why it is hard: Chennai is even more chaotic, ten times more populated than Boston and way more densely so, with more traffic and pollution, with an old transportation system that already exists, with as much contestations about property and homeowner rights (and all the cacophony of a "democracy"), much less money than here, much more corruption than here, and a much much harsher weather in which everything has to be built. If Chennai can create a stunningly modern, efficient and squeaky clean metro that is cheap (which no US city currently has), then our excuse can only boil down to lethargy, NIMBYism, rabid individualism, indifference, and lack of any will.
6/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
So what is it that they are doing there, and we are not?
For example, in the city of Chennai (it's true for other cities in India too), they believe, including some level of political will and intention, that a modern, extensive, cheap, and energy efficient mass transportation and metro system is a necessity. To that end they have built several new lines that are operational, including overhauling old ones, and will complete several more new lines in the next few years. Not to forget, just Tamilnadu, the state in which Chennai is, already generates more from wind energy than any Scandinavian country.
Meanwhile our solution in the US is to talk about individual electric vehicles, autonomous self-driving, hyperloops for cars, AI for mitigating climate change, web 3.0, or whatever gets cooked up by the geniuses at silicon valley.

#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
While the weather was brutal (at least for me, having lived almost all my adult life in the US), the environment and resources extremely precarious, the political landscape chaotic, high levels of unemployment and inequality, decimation of the countryside, intensification of existing hierarchies (caste and otherwise) through the import of gig and app economies (thanks to the previous iteration of the "revolutionary" gift from silicon valley), people are going about their lives, adapting (and surviving), being creative whether it be arts or sciences (my mind shuts down completely in that heat), and most of all finding their own solutions out of this mess that they neither created, nor are perpetuating.
It hit me quite viscerally that we in the West are entirely unprepared to change or adapt and not willing to have the slightest changes/disruptions in our lifestyle. If people still hold on to the idea that reversing the effects of climate change is a possibility and we can continue our ways of live, they better wake up from that dream!
4/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
The breakthroughs necessary to provide for decent lives in the face of global warming and climate change (which is already here, and not some tipping point in 2027 or 2030 etc etc.,), and modernize such a society is quite different and far removed from the technologies for which much of capital, hype, and attention seems to be directed at. So in what sense are these world-changing technologies beyond the usual march of capitalism into newer territories? If consumerism is the heart of revolutionary technologies of our era, where are the low-cost, energy and resource efficient, sustainable HVAC units, refrigerators, washer/dryers etc., which will qualitatively change peoples lives? Last I checked, almost no elite academic/corporate entity in the West is working on any of these. Some world-changing tech we seem to be working on.
3/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
It was quite refreshing and a much needed reset for me to view from outside the hype-bubble of AI (as this purported revolutionary, epoch-making or world-changing technological breakthrough), and witness its almost irrelevance and even be a detriment/nuisance to the day-to-day lives of people there.
AI in its best-case scenario can be a useful tool, far from the world-changing tech constantly beamed on social media and elsewhere, and it hits you really hard when you see people living in 100+ F weather almost constantly. The feels like temperature was consistently between 45-50 Celsius during the daytime with high humidity for the entirety of my stay and this now lasts months in that part of the world!!.
