Toilet detective. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

we had that exact tub tile soap holder thing going on in the first apartment bldg we lived in on Delle Ave. Eesh. No cat, alas.

Much like I say normal libs cannot allow themselves to imagine a better world, Dem politicians cannot allow themselves to state plainly what the problem is. "You are getting fucked." They can dance around it but they can't name the villains, and there are villains, because they want their money.

This is why they will always come off as phony. People are stupid, yes, but they are not that fucking stupid. They know someone is fucking them. And they like it when this is acknowledged.

Your boss is fucking you. Your landlord is fucking you. Your health insurance is fucking you. The TV and film and sports owners are fucking you. The grocery store is fucking you. The car dealers are fucking you. Everyone is fucking you. This fucking has a name! But they can't let themselves say it.

The nuns ain’t wrong. The Arboretum already does THEE subtle most to keep the uncontrolled everyday rabble & hoi polloi out, dog forbid anyone get to live in an *apartment building* nearby. Cuz then Those People could just walk there for a nice day out on City of Boston property.

This is one of the most important Green Line stations to my life & upbringing. Above it was the art supplies store area graf writers & art students met & this was the train I took to and from Boston Latin School to Longwood Medical Area on the E Line. There was no turnstile or place to buy tokens

No discussion of the eviction rate. Hm.

very important discussion here re psych Rx medications and how little a psychiatrist is apt to know 😬

It's usually Black folks in culture that set the standard and aesthetic that future generations forget or are absolutely unaware of... Back in the '80s & '90s it took longer for slang to spread then get misinterpreted or misused. i.e. Busta Rhymes' "What the dealy, yo?" becoming "dealio". *groan*

So Anthropic partnered w/ Musk, huh? Disappointing but not at all surprising. Again: They never truly resisted the kyriarchal, hegemonic, carceral, militaristic, eugenic, white supremacist leanings of "AI;" they've always been willing to walk those roads, just so long as they get to set the schedule

In my post this week I broke down why the council’s budget approval process isn’t worth paying any attention to because it’s fake and everyone involved knows it lol

Ted Turner wanted the call letters TBS so he made two “donations” to MIT to transfer their radio stations call letters to him in 1979… MIT’s radio station went from WTBS to WMBR on May 24th, 1979. Hear it happen: youtu.be/JWMmhh5SVMI?...

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers. From our “Rx Roulette” series, a 2026 Pulitzer finalist:

That popping sound in the distance was Mel Gibson literally exploding

Attn: fic writers and others

Holy shit what a massive consent violation from google here. 4 damn gigs of your disk space stolen for their "AI" model which you did not necessarily ask for to run on your device in the background. I mean jfc

heterosexuality not even once

“Deprescribing” already happens at every visit. It’s usually called medication review but RFK has no medical experience so makes sense he wouldn’t know. Incentivizing people to show they cut people off medications is a very stupid, very dangerous proposal. Pay for preventative primary care instead!

And yes, naturally, he used the interview to take weird jabs at trans people and trans rights. Because that's Barney Frank for you.

Cops are great

MAD MAGAZINE WEEK

A federal court has granted a temporary restraining order to stop the mining work at sacred Pe'Sla! The struggle ain't over yet, but at least there is a temporary reprieve for now.

NO

This man is literally dying and he's calling in to CNN to complain about young people supporting trans rights.

Hey guys remember that rad comic Eleanor Davis did in 2019 about how the future was going to be a nightmare of drone warfare and suppressed protests and deportations by a tech-industry-compromised federal government, but we have to fight back and keep going? Cuz we just gotta?? No? Just me? OK!

Please help 3 disabled queer people avoid the street. I have to wait 120 days to reapply for benefits. Right now I have nothing to pay past due bills. It would be really nice not to lose the only place we got a week before we would've been safe. Anything helps. #MutualAidRequest

But if we give poor people money, they will do less crime and also join the military less frequently for the financial incentives Then who will die in the oil wars or provide the prison slave labor????

I don't see how Bluesky can promote composable, decentralized moderation while banning users who use the features.

Local Black businesses being shut out from World Cup events in Boston - including Haitian ones (Haiti made the World Cup this year): baystatebanner.com/2026/04/29/s... And the Bay State Banner was denied press credentials for games at Gillette Stadium: baystatebanner.com/2026/04/29/a...

So glad that the rotting corpse of Joe Biden could rise up from the grave to endorse this local hack as a reward for helping him tell Palestinian-Americans that he'd really like their votes even though he was in the process of helping Israel kill their families.

No. Now what?

Important point here about pills & supplements. Ran into one of these quacks awhile ago who’d “diagnose” you with Lyme or salicylate allergy or like, “boron deficiency” and then try to sell you $300 worth of stuff he just happened to have on hand that’s “vital for treatment/recovery”. 🙄🙄🙄

I'm consistently impressed that Wired and Ars Technica continue to do great tech reporting despite being owned by Conde Naste. The duo's reporting basically killed the tech industry's covert effort to neuter a popular Colorado law making it easier and cheaper to repair your own tech:
