if my husband is cheating, he's very bad at it.

no no the toymaker is geppetto pinocchio is geppetto’s monster

how stupid is it the “glass ceiling” probably just turned out to be “donors want dudes they can blackmail, not competent people who are good at their jobs”

Every time they pull this mortgage fraud nitpick play it's just a signal that they went digging for skeletons and found bupkis.

Lines like this are why I love @petridishes.bsky.social

MA does! You can deduct pretty much everything you spend on transit up to a certain limit on your taxes.

Trying to get ahead of that Joyce Carol Oates dunk

"Are you familiar with the work of Joyce Carol Oates?" "Yeah I love her posts"

don’t ever “fyi” or “just so you know” me. i come on the internet website specifically to be a dipshit and my personal philosophy is to never learn anything. u are violating my rights btw

Utterly outrageous: Leadership in the Massachusetts House is trying to gut climate plans *and* cut the budget for Mass Save, the program that helps homeowners afford to make their homes more energy efficient. commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/house...

Trump is going to fix the system by paying ATC $5/hr but he'll let them keep 60% of what the pilots tip for good service.

Nice reflection in @bostonglobe.com on Veteran's Day, through the lens of Bourne Cemetery, which happens to be where my grandfather Ed is buried.

If I'm gonna pay this much for insurance, something terrible better happen to me or I'm gonna be furious.

Death by Lightning has so many great, quotable lines. "Music, Fighting, Sausages!" "Eat shit, I'm a taxpayer!" "I need you to find me the sausage man" OK most of these have to do with sausages, but I stand by it, and anyways sausages are delicious.

ICE has been seizing people in Allston. Boston area folks, spread the word about the LUCE hotline to report ICE sightings. And here's stickers you can print and put up anywhere:

Wonderful story about uncovering echoes of the relatively recent past in a family story about reproductive freedom and abuse.

Wow unfollowing now. Was a big fan of their comedy festival, had no idea they would associate with Mr Beast.

ugh do they really need her to submit our application in person?

That one time when President Obama caught a fainting pregnant woman during a speech

Has anyone considered that the signs are his staff trying to make sure he knows which way to walk in front of the cameras as his dementia progresses?

HUGE WIN: A federal judge has ordered that full SNAP benefits be restored to millions of Americans. This ruling gives families back their peace of mind — and their dignity. We’ll keep fighting to protect the food security of every resident across this Commonwealth.

music! fighting! sausages! (the new Garfield/Guiteau show on Netflix is bonkers fun).

i think a very funny thing would for this guy to very quickly have a book ghost written about his political journey as sandwich guy that is a thinly veiled parody of politicians' origin story books like Hillbilly Elegy and his worldview should be, like Liz Lemon's, entirely sandwich-based.

Does this not create an obvious lane for someone to claim the brand "the only mass media co *not* kissing Trump's ass"? It would be a good feedback loop between elections, too. Because it would be wildly, demonstrably popular in a way shareholders can't ignore for long.

I’m finally just now reading Parable of the Sower and I really picked it up in part because people say the timeline is spooky and I was like ‘meh’ til this page right here and GULP.

LUCE has set up a GoFundMe for the families of the Allston carwash workers abducted by masked men claiming to work for the government www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory. The details are horrifying. 🧵 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/04/m...

i sure don't feel represented by my government. they won't even brief my Senators on Venezuela. That's true for all 19 states with 2 Dem Senators, representing 44% of population (and more than that in GDP). No taxation without representation, and we don't functionally have representation.

Allandale Farms is a great spot for last minute pumpkins, and also a an even better place to order your raw turkeys for Thanksgiving. And it looks like there is still time to pre-order! allandalefarm.com/thanksgiving...

As former District 3 City Councilor Frank Baker tries for a comeback as an At-Large Councilor, it's good to remind people about "Frank Baker, Globe Commenter." www.bostonglobe.com/2023/04/25/metro/this-prolific-globe-commenter-brutally-mocks-city-councilors-and-also-seems-work-with-them/

OK i had fully assumed this was like a sophisticated online con-job but as ever truth is funnier than fiction.

it's pretty obvious most of Platner's defenders on Bluesky don't live in Maine. They don't have internet there!

it's not delivery, it's the jernos

This is great news. I studied abroad in the Netherlands and I got into studying their politics casually. That was 20 years ago, so I forget most of the names and particulars, but I never for a second forgot Geert Wilders, that utterly despicable racist xenophobe irritant. Keep losing, Geert. 🌈🇳🇱🌷

this is why i only sleep in the secreted mucus of instagram influencers. keeps me fresh and dewy.

Hey looks like Christmas is probably ruined in this economy, let's go ahead and make Halloween suck too to prepare the children.

ahahahaha what a fantastic Boston costume.

In MA, folks enrolled in SNAP who have active EBT cards with at least a $1 balance will still be able to access fresh produce with their cards through the Healthy Incentives Program. That funding doesn't go away Nov. 1, when SNAP does. www.mass.gov/info-details...

Choose 20 paintings that have stayed with you or influenced you — one painting per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just paintings. Day 3.

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir
