“The postwar bulge was, in large part, a historical accident, a one-time dividend from being the last factory standing, paid out under a monetary and competitive order that no longer exists and isn’t coming back. We didn’t earn the golden age through superior #virtue, and we won’t get it back […]

Shel Silverstein on success in creative fields (1975): "I think if you're a creative person, you should just go about your business, do your work and not care how it's received. I never read reviews because if you believe the good ones you have to believe the bad ones too. "Not that I don't […]

I was going to post snark-ily about the theme for this upcoming giveaway. But then I remembered I'm on Mastodon, and there will be sincere excitement for that kind of postcard. What I'm saying is, you weirdos made me a nicer person #mastodon #mosstodon

Today in #massachusetts, a state court took a ballot question off November's ballots. The question proposed cutting state tax rates including income and capital gains. The court nixed it because the "neutral summary" of the question, which is always written by the state's attorney general for […]

Tonight's #RedSox game is going to be on national TV, and happens to be when the Tartan Army (Scotland supporters) are going to Fenway Park en masse. I hope they have a great time and appreciate live #baseball on a beautiful summer night. Although the Sox […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

🇭🇹 vs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Despite what the TV coverage might tell you, Haiti is more of the "home" team around Boston. About 80,000 Haitians and Haitian-Americans live in Massachusetts, mostly in eastern Mass. Although it's true the Scottish visitors have made their mark downtown ... I love that they're […]

"No lasting accord exists between those who seek, ponder, and dissect – and pride themselves on being capable of thinking tomorrow other than they do today – and those who accept the Faith, or declare that they do, and oblige their fellow men to do the same, on pain of death." Marguerite […]

Boston media's tendency to find a local connection to every story, no matter how tenuous, is well-known. (And mocked.) It has the unintended effect of making New England look less important, not more. Can't they just say that Gordon Wood died? Or stick with […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Le Cycliste (The Cyclist) by Auguste Herbin, 1930 This is abstract enough that without knowing the title, I probably wouldn't guess the subject ... but I like it! #cycling #modernart #augusteherbin #biketoot #painting

This fucking article is the worst kind of both-sides bullshit. The trans lady is getting death threata and moves to a blue state to feel safe. The conservative guy feels "uncomfortable" talking politics (and maybe paying taxes) and has to move to goddamn Texas. Thoae two things are not the same […]

Kashmiri Dancers by Chittaprosad Bhattacharya, 1956 C.B. made a lot of propaganda for the Indian left (communists) during the independence era. He worked in sketches, linocut, and paintings like this in the classic opaque or gouache style. I don't know if […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Water bottles were also banned from Woodstock '99, and look how THAT ended 🔥 I often wonder why FIFA pretends the reason is anything other than more money. Like, they shouldn't even bother with the made up public-safety concern. (Coca Cola products can also be thrown, by the way) […]

Terry Pratchett on students and teachers (For some reason, the funniest part to me is 'the teacher's eyes narrowed further'. The narrator had not previously said anything about the teacher's eyes. But adding the word 'further' inflects the whole conversation […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

[CW: criminal case involving abuse of a minor] 25 year old man found criminally responsible for the sexual abuse of a child who was 14 at the time, but he gets no punishment, because he was also the "victim" of extortion by the mother of HIS victim. The mother got jail time, deservedly IMO […]

#rant: A writer on a pretty well-known website was disappointed during pregnancy to learn she was having a boy rather than a girl.

Is the correct past-tense "She sneak-attacked me" or "She snuck-attacked"? I prefer the sound of the latter, but most likely "sneak" doesn't need to be conjugated because it's a modifier here. #englishlanguage #englishgrammar
