I turned right instead of left on my lunchtime walk only to discover Boston is being attacked by Kaiju. It’s not AI. It’s public art! www.winteractive.org

Gendered burdens

I just started this project because I’ve been admiring these mittens for literally years, but also I’m not used to working with yarn/needles this thin and the whole time I keep being like WHY ARE THE NEEDLES SO POINTY. I’m only like 10 rows in so hopefully I will stop having this reaction but TBD.

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

1/3 of Aerin Frankel’s games this season have been shut outs. #PWHL #BostonFleet

We just aren’t talking about this enough

Verdict is in for the New Mexico child safety case against Meta. Goes against Meta on every question. Jury finds Meta liable for ~37,000 violations. Maximum liability of $5,000 per violation.

A jury on Tuesday found Meta violated New Mexico law in a case accusing it of failing to warn users about the dangers of its platforms and protect children from sexual predators.

Update: the two days after my day off collectively have 13 hours of meetings 🫠

This thread is an example of why software knowledge is still vital to smart development, even in the AI age.

The #NHLBruins have announced that JamesHagens will sign an AHL amateur tryout agreement (ATO) and report to the Providence Bruins. 📰: https://bit.ly/4uO1Qqg

The paper “shows that women, particularly those early in their careers, were disproportionately affected by terminations, even though they receive less funding from the NIH in general.”

I took today off of work and, outside of taking Sammy out, I’ve essentially laid in bed all day. I think I have really needed a break and probably a longer vacation soon. While cleaning or laundry would be good to achieve, I think if I can just finish knitting this hat I’ll be very pleased.

My Milk Hotel? Neutral.

Just a Sammy picture

The #BostonFleet now have the most regulation wins in team history with about a third of the season still to go.

Reader, I sighed & then teared up. This is such massive help. $16 million helps 2,750 families cover rent through June. He’s trying to raise the other half. And the dude also delivered laundry during the siege.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

Someone in a Bruins uniform scored this goal.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

Today, I’m thinking about Dolores Huerta & the burden she carried for decades while leading a labor movement that defined a generation, all while enduring abuse from a man the world celebrated. That sacrifice is one that no person should be forced to make.

Banksy has been unmasked, when reached for comment he said he did all of Banksy for “a good soup”

One thing I will say about Fleet games is that the team responsible for in-arena experience has done a great job. The fan culture of the team is so clear. It's going to be so cool to hear a sold out TD Garden yell, "to the brig!" the first time the Fleet are on power play during that game.

According to the law, “No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin.” But Trump is [shockingly!] ignoring the law. Only Congress could intervene to stop it, which they haven’t yet.

Oh. "Nearly half of U.S. generic prescriptions originate in India, which relies on the Strait of Hormuz for the arrival of key inputs in drug manufacturing including petroleum-based materials, and for shipping finished medicines to the U.S."

That Kagi Translate thing is just a ChatGPT wrapper

Haley Winn’s brothers dropped the puck to celebrate the first home game back from the Olympics. They took off their eagle masks and put on the sailor hats which I think was a nice touch. #BostonFleet #PWHL

I mean

It’s worth noting that DOGE’s goals of efficiency are akin to removing the life rafts from a boat because we’re not using them and just carrying them around. Governments have excess capacity and specializations for a reason

Well worth it to spend some peaceful time with the coos day. #CoosDay

"In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people angry, and been widely regarded as a bad move."

A spaghetti squeeze 🍝

Don't let Ramadan end without reading this heartening story about queer iftars. “There are LGBTQ+ Muslims, just like there are variances of all faith[s], and we need dedicated spaces to convene, not only as an act of resistance, but an act of resilience,” Benarbane said.

Was looking through some old family photos recently and spotted this one of my grandma. I think it’s a very sweet picture even if not long after that the family had to be evacuated (her dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor). This was probably taken just before she turned 9.

We did the Lowell Mills, Fort Warren/Georges Island in the Boston Harbor, the Freedom Trail in Boston, and a Wampanoag long house. Also did a Girl Scout trip to Martha’s Vineyard + a science-y camp near the Cape where we learned about the ecology there.

Four Oscars for a vampire movie that came out in the spring from a director who had never been nominated is honestly an incredibly impressive showing.

Fiona Apple quit cocaine after an “Excruciating” night with Quentin Tarantino & Paul Thomas Anderson. “Every addict should just get locked in a private movie theatre with QT & PTA on coke. they’ll never want to do it again,” Apple joked.

Is Nicole Kidman 10 feet tall?
