Just helped get a racist woman kicked off a bus on my way to see @wordloaf.org and @bookishjulia.bsky.social talk about fermented foods, which is a pretty busy Thursday night for me

Wow, I guess @dinfontay.com's membership drive is going really well. New Fingers headquarters?

Is it normal to have a dedicated teleprompter guy? Or is it Trump's speech pattern so wild that he needs a specialist like a knuckleball pitcher and catcher combo?

Same Massachusetts friend who won't eat any produce right now (fewer than 20 cases of cyclo in our state since May) went for an hour jog in the smoke yesterday. They have a masters degree, but "there's diarrhea in Michigan today" is scarier than "you could be scarring your lungs and heart for life."

This is an extraordinary thread that really outlines just how awful it is that @wutrain.bsky.social has jetisonned her safer streets policies. Mayor, I know you follow both Matt and me. I hope Louisa's death is keeping you awake at night and that it spurs a return to who we believed you to be.

Just saw this for the first time. That would be less than half a pound per person, so a literal rounding error. Thing is, he actually said billion. Meaning if every American weighed 450 lbs, we would still all cease to exist

The lettuce is fine in most states (and most of the lettuce in the states with outbreaks is fine, too), but if you're worried about yours, cooking destroys this parasite, and you can make @hels.bsky.social lettuce soup (it's good, I promise) 1/2

I wish it was anyone else but Lyons. Because this is a good idea, but he will make it soulless

We can't wait for an election to deal with this

NEW: A 5-year-old girl spent months in federal immigration custody here in Connecticut while her family waited for her release. Her case isn’t unique, experts and court records show. My latest w/ @jrabethomas.bsky.social at @ctinsider.bsky.social — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

I feel a little bad for regular diarrhea.

Well, this sucks

Im sorry, but this just makes me want taco bell. I mean, RIP to everyone diarrheaed by the gods for their hubris but im different. and better. maybe even better than the gods

I love this, even (especially?) as a fan of Wally who has sat in the section he enters the field from after a win often enough to be recognized by the guy who plays him. He obviously loves messing/being messed with by opposing fans. I'm sure he ate it up tonight.

Goddamn it. I need this stupid thing

"rein in" says the only Democratic governor to allow And promote collaboration with ICE. She's awful.

My best friend and I were pissed at his folks when they picked us up at camp visitation day and wouldn't take us to True Lies because of his kid sister being with us and took us to Forrest Gump instead. First time I saw boobs on a theater screen. Probably unrelated, I'm married to that sister now.

We need your voice to build the pressure to get this done. Call Governor Healey at (617) 725-4005 and your legislators (find yours at malegislature.gov/Search/FindM...). Tell them Massachusetts must cut off all state resources from ICE, no exceptions.

Erika is one of the only state MA electeds ( @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social is the only other I know of, please direct me to others) saying this important stuff out loud and in public. We need more of this, Massachusetts.

The e damage done by garbage television is so much bigger than we know, huh?

We have similar data (though for fewer centuries) for the shifting of the lambic brewing season in Belgium; lambics can only be brewed in conditions that disfavor airborne enteric bacteria, because no one wants beer that tastes like literal shit.

Any New England weather nerds know if this is affecting us here? These skies sure look like they want to rain, but AccuWeather says no. Asking for a guy whose management company decided to do sidewalk sealing today that needs to stay dry for 24 hours

Not enough noise is being made about the parts of our communities we are losing because immigrants don't want to be here anymore.

Boston has been warned for years that delayed street-safety projects would cost lives. Enough is enough. Add your name before the letter is delivered to Mayor Wu on Thursday: benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en...

Please tell me he got taken by the Boston Grand Prix scammer guy

This is good

We took our nephew on 4 different boat/bus tours and each one made a joke about Yankees being potentially lost ("let us know so we make sure to run over it," "you'll be fined for dumping toxic waste into the Hahbah," that kind of thing). We're raising the kid to be a Sox diehard and they ate it up.

Each post on this blog has made me angrier, because it's the same story every time. ICE kills and lies about it with impunity (not a dig at the Press Herald, who are doing very good work and not taking anything the feds say at face value)

Boston has been warned for years that delayed street-safety projects would cost lives. Enough is enough. Add your name before the letter is delivered to Mayor Wu on Thursday:

I've seen people who are reasonably wary of a business guy, but Kleban's politics predate (and drive) his business. I wish he hadn't been railroaded out of the initial primary, because I think people would have seen that. He's one of the most conscientious people I've ever met, not just in beer

Maine Beer Co. owner Dan Kleban, a hopeful to replace Graham Platner as D Senate challenger to unseat longtime R Senator Susan Collins this November, is out with a statement about the ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford this morning: "This shit has to stop" dankleban.substack.com/p/ill-hold-i...

steal his look

All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup Photo by Mary Ellen of a bridled tern. www.universalhub.com/2026/you-wan... #birds #Scituate #Massachusetts

Tattooing this to myself both because it's right and because it will really fuck with antisemites who think Jews "have to" follow whatever rules the antisemites decide are our important ones

Craig Breslow might say this. (But Pete is right that he'd be lying)

I had this South Park poster on my door in high school and it needed an update

It's weird that ghost runners effectively make bunting an "aggressive" move by the road team.

Bello. Sigh.

Trade wars are so stupid

Meet The Press slobbing on Lindsey Graham's rigor mortised knob is just absolutely incredible

Goodbye, Lindsey Graham, I’ll always remember how you let certain liberals get a liiiiitle too comfortable making gay jokes at your expense.

She's just really bad at telling how shitty people named Graham can be, huh?

Don’t live your life so that when you die people say “oh I was hoping it’d be the other guy, but I’ll take it”

What a joyous day!

Spent the day at the tall ships and I don't know why people enjoy this?

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

Ok so this is awful but also he seems to be pretty sure Iran both intends to—and can—kill him? I'm guessing that's not purely hallucination and is based on information he's been given.
