Oh boy I have no idea. But! It reminds me of a fave memory. My brother-in-law was asking if I wanted to play “yod dots” and I had no idea what he was saying. He grew up in Dorchester. Eventually he said “yaaaaaaaaRRRRRdddd daaaRRRRRts” and I will never not LOL when I think of it.

Imagine causing more uncertainty than a global pandemic that killed millions www.economist.com/united-state...

Inevitably my delight at the idea of “Real Housewives of Rhode Island” collided with the reality that it’s a dreadful show to actually watch. Oof.

the new blue Massachusetts license plates are extremely European Union coded. I feel at some point MAGA are bound to make up some nonsense about this

He is not worth the end of our Republic, an imperfect but determined two-hundred-and-fifty-year experiment in Democracy having its life and liberty choked out by a sneering, narcissistic, intellectually fetal, morally bankrupt bottom feeder. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/he-is-not-...

Massachusetts permitted just 12,056 homes in 2025, among the lowest in decades. Restrictive zoning & building codes, and archaic permitting processes have made building new housing here among the most difficult in America, pushing affordability further out of reach for too many.

waking up at 5 am and my first postsleep thought is that Kash Patels email is hacked by the Iranians and then a week later we get photos of Kristi Noems bimboized husband in the Daily Mail. Coincidence? Or has Iran found the means to take down the Trump regime in the most hilarious way possible.

USA 🇺🇸 can still do good, no, check that...GREAT things. Thanks to our Canadian partners! Go #Artemis II!

what does it say about an old man in the most powerful job on the planet that as he approaches the realization of his own death he doesn't care if his country dies or the whole world for that matter

Dorchester's BC High launched a new 'Civil Discourse' series on Monday featuring a talk by longtime NY Times columnist and political commentator David Brooks. www.dotnews.com/2026/04/01/b...

miss me yet, but for calvin coolidge.

getting back in town after spending a few months away. it was an eye-opening experience to see how much costs have risen in other parts of the country. higher costs and the enshittification of our national political culture makes boston look almost like it's worth the money.

Gov. Maura Healey has named Dorchester resident Joyce Linehan to the 19-member governing board of the Mass Cultural Council. www.dotnews.com/2026/04/01/d...

it's her day

listening to the oral arguments about birthright citizenship at the supreme court I think we can all agree that man needs a throat lozenge

will the person who wore the Atlassian hat to an orgy please return to either San Francisco or Sydney, we can’t handle this here

I've been working on a few different bits of research. This is one of them. Electrification, insulation, upgrading of triple deckers in #boston and the benefits it would bring to the city & the template it would provide for the state. #massachusetts www.trainsbikesbus.com/boston-full-...

because absolutely no one is asking for this? just a guess

#BostonVehicularViolence #VisionZeroBoston Glad the cyclist is ok. This is a tricky intersection in Dorchester and definitely needs safety improvements But Dot Av is a nightmare to try and bike on from beginning to end 😬

Sharing this not because we know it will piss people off to acknowledge that we believe trans folks should not have to be invisible, but because we have learned they would just find something else to be pissed off about if we didn't.

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

You had ONE JOB

You’re not Irish You’re from Dorchester 🙄

x is populated by people who failed 11th-grade english, drove three startups into the ground, make mid-six-figures, and own two cybertrucks. bluesky is full of folks who hold two phds, have won prestigious awards in their field, can't quite consolidate their hold on fulltime work, and ride a bicycle

how many times do we have to have a no kings protest before they get the message

if they did I would place that bet so fast

This. The dream of the 90s is dead. Cheap rent enables every kind of creative work and nothing else can substitute for it.

The 14th Amendment is the reason I can vote and serve as your Attorney General. If Trump can take a Sharpie to birthright citizenship, he can come for any of our basic rights. People fought and died for Massachusetts and this country to be a place of opportunity for all. I won't let us go back.

Coming up in #Dorchester on April 11

MASSIVE WIN: no one wants to live in the united states anymore

USS Massachusetts, a $2.8B Virginia-class nuclear submarine with crew 147 members, is in Boston this weekend for a special ceremony to commission the warship. The Reporter got a tour today.

After more than a decade of advocacy from our office, New England ratepayers will receive a $900 million energy refund.   FERC is limiting profits NE transmission utilities can earn on investments. As MA's ratepayer advocate, I'll keep fighting to lower costs & put your money back in your pocket.

In the 1950s, urban renewal razed Minot Street in the West End, displacing hundreds of people. Now, people born in the 1950s argue housing even a hundred people on Minot Street in Dorchester will kill the neighborhood. What do both have in common? Putting the needs of cars before people.

Heard yall keep citing this book out in the wild of the Boston City Council and I can tell yall didn’t read it.

FYI: if you’re smart enough- we can make policy that protects our neighborhoods and their businesses when we grow. When you resort to stereotyping about the people you *think* won’t support a neighborhood with growth- maybe you should leave your position of power and admit defeat.

When the Soviets seize America, one Boston based resistance cell fights back.

Something old and spiteful inside me makes me so happy when all trains are Ashmont trains. I feel a kind of balance for what seemed like my entire life of 2 Braintree trains for every 1 Ashmont.

U.S. foreign policy has been captured by dorks obsessed with the movie 300 and the only way to fix it is to put in power dorks obsessed with the movie Master and Commander.

I guess being old means seeing something we defended doing 30 years ago come around to be something bad to do now. I'm just another old gay guy but I for one am perfectly fine with outing homosexual fascists who see queer people as an enemy.

Because you all deserve something good, this photo of Leonard Nimoy - who was born #OnThisDay in 1931 - as a young actor
