In the interest of trying to post things that are actually good more often, this was delightful. I

Of all the things that will never happen, Musk making his trillion dollar payday is the thing that will most never happen.

Whoever can create free, limitless electricity wins capitalism. The U.S. has chosen to go all-in on something that, instead, *consumes* vast quantities of electricity, while giving up on power generation.

It's rare that I see something that triggers the memory of a thing I completely forgot I once possessed. I definitely popped myself in the eye with that Mario. The suction cup basically competed with the spring to get him to pop-up

This is not the Farmer's Almanac you've heard of. Old Farmer's Almanac is the famous one.

Every single person who has worked in this facility should be sealed up inside of it.

in New England we call that a steak bomb

I just realized if Boston ends up with its own sandwich guy (a la the inflatable lobsters playing off Portland's frogs), the steak bomb t-shirts are going to be amazing.

I think it all started going downhill when we let sub shops use chicken fingers to make chicken parms.

This is why it's so important to primary everybody every year. Incumbency is itself a threat to democracy.

I have never read a Ross Douthat article and am a little embarrassed for all of you that still haven't realized reading him is a choice.

Thread up and down. This is a million times worse than what they're doing to the White House

Resurfacing this delightful 2019 story by @ligayamishan.bsky.social, about "a young Queens M.C. who calls himself Mr. Cardamom." (You can call him Mr. Mayor.)

Listeria kills. Check any pasta meals you bought from Trader Joe's, Albertson's, Kroger, Walmart, Giant Eagle, or Sprouts. Cooking doesn't kill listeria; it survives to kill us. Do not mess with it. www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...

Ross Douthat thinks he's the first person to tell you about mashed potato pizza. Ross Douthat tells you about mashed potato pizza every time he sees you as if you've never heard of it before. Ross Douthat's brains are mashed potato pizza.

I saw a rabbi with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of SoHo on Christmas Day He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein Ah-hoo, Hebrews of London Ah-hooooooo

When Kim Foxx won her second term in Chicago amidst a flurry of opposition, not a single national paper ran a story on it, at all. Had she lost, there’d have been coverage for sure. But the press seems incapable in general of reporting on crim legal reform wins that make reform seem established.

Cc: the entire MA legislature, which—when it comes to protecting constituents from the feds— has been asleep since January 20

Personally I think that Mayor Mamdani should emulate Michelle Wu's leadership by instituting New York City's very own cop slide

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...

If this fucker gets to Boston…

We deserve this (derogatory and complimentary)

This is the exact same lettering that was on the clubhouse of my grandmother's retirement community in Florida. Mahjong starts at 4

I know we're still deeply screwed because so many people who should know better are currently convinced Alan Dershowitz said he would blow his brains out if Mamdani won. A lot of these folks both work in journalism and rightly complain about bskyers not recognizing jokes, too!

I'm often cynical about democracy in Massachusetts, but this, the post above it, and Frank Baker's flop are giving me hope that Massholes are waking up and demanding better—not just nationally, but also at home. It's time to re-earn our status as a place where we demand government accountability.

"If you come for one of us, you will get all of us" - @wutrain.bsky.social in March I don't think Zohran cribbed the line, but wouldn't be mad if he did. If that's not the natural sentiment of every anti-fascist mayor or governor, it's time for them to at least start faking it or get out of the way

I really hope it gets back to Cuomo they were dunking on him at Balthazar

I have not related to a politician as much as I relate to Brad Lander in my life. This is dorky, middle-aged, anti-fascist, white, Jewish, male, fucking sick of all the bullshit representation.

This is why you know Zohran's name. This is how he won. This is how we win. Cowards like Schumer and Jeffries need to fall the fuck in line behind leaders like Mamdani and Lander. No cowards allowed. Not anymore. Leaders only.

I'd have given anything for Dick Cheney to have exactly one more day.

RIP to this guy's dick bsky.app/profile/midd...

*user has marked themself safe from the Bakenaissance

Reminder to any billionaires leaving New York: Michelle Wu is Boston's mayor, Massachusetts has a billionaires tax, and the Yankees suck. Reminder to NYers making fun of Portnoy: he can't "go back to Boston" because he's not from here, he's from Swampscott. He would actually hate living here

Shitshitshit. This is "my" carwash. Great people who bust their asses all day long. Hey fellow Bostonians who look like me, I know you've seen the videos from Portland, LA, and Chicago. You know the assignment. Show up now or live in shame forever.

New York is the city that made my family Americans and is the only place in the world that feels like an ancestral homeland to me. I'm really proud of that fact today.

Pure marketing nonsense and a waste of a piece of history. The beer they're making might be great! But it won't be because of the contents of this bottle. Artic Ale is legendary, but this stunt makes me a lot less interested in trying to acquire a bottle.

This is a Monty Python sketch

Put this guy on the front page instead

I already saw one person say he had a complicated legacy, and what the fuck, Terry? No he didn't. That isn't true.

LOL, several units in my building (including mine) have the wrong electric meters assigned, so I've been paying my neighbor's bill and vice versa for 20+ years. I have no idea how Eversource will resolve any over/underpayments, but people will surely get fucked. Eversource installed the meters, too!

I jokingly replied "Built on spec to try to lease to iCE/CBP?," but now I'm wondering if it's true? @universalhub.com do you or any of your real estate knowing people know anything about this building?

I have gone out of my way to know little (compared to my other realms of food knowledge) about coffee and wine, because I would go bankrupt if I allowed myself to really get into either.

Say hi to Kissinger in Hell, Dick.

When Rabbi Mike is moved to write, people should read it. This is so good. This is Jewish leadership.

I don't like suddenly being the age where it's common to have gone a decade or more without seeing a close friend in-person.

In 1999, I was in the first cohort of Management majors at MIT to take a required communication for managers class. They attempted to teach persuasive writing. I wonder if they still require it and will now be teaching students how to coerce AI (not just employees) as discussed here.

I can't emphasize enough how important it is for folks who can afford to do so to actively spend money in immigrant communities right now

We deserve so much better than Maura Healey. "Healey’s trip was not previously disclosed because the governor’s office keeps her out-of-state movements secret until after the fact…her campaign confirmed she held two fundraisers while in the Sunshine State."

Happy for Mookie. I guess.
