![At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers.
“We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”

Yesterday I said there wasn't a Single staircase bill yet. It had actually already been announced and I hadn't heard about it yet. Alex Lee comes through again, as promised.

What's especially painful, as one commenter points out, if you can convince more people to take other modes of transit, it actually makes driving nicer for the few who continue to do it.
