So while I was driving Uber today, I had to fight my way thru this nightmare rotary/intersection in crazy busy traffic But 3-4 geese just moseyed out from the middle of the rotary into the road and stopped traffic for me. They can poop anywhere they was, afaic

Brothers win approval to expand 2-family house into 8 condos on Adams Street in Dorchester universalhub.com/2026/brother... #Boston #housing #zoning

It’s true that vaccine access could be improved but these challenges haven’t significantly worsened over the last 10 years. Vaccine hesitancy has. The problem is misinformation and public health researchers pretending otherwise is not helping.

The public health field has bent over backwards to assuage the ‘concerns’ of anti-vaxxers for almost 3 decades now. It’s not working. The way forward is stigmatizing these child-killing freaks and mandating that every kid gets a jab. Expand access, sure but that’s not going to move the needle.

Glad I voted for that guy

I think we also voted as a city to...perhaps find alternatives to a certain department doing things that aren't their wheelhoise, like five years ago?

Coming back from recess now. The clerk is gonna redact the email thread and then forward it to the committee members (which does not actually provide these documents to the public on the public record, to be clear!). Laying this item on the table for picking back up later in this meeting […]

We are in recess. As several people have texted me, this meeting is a HOT MESS. I blame Strezo, personally.

Get Ash on the case

We should have sent Strezo to the curb last election

Councilor @jonlink.bsky.social asks whether the data that is required to be shared is already being shared for other reasons. The answer wasn't 100% clear to me. It's pretty clear that everybody expects this to be a softball. I mean ... who doesn't like the basketball game, right? 16/?

So glad Councilor Strezo supports the copaganda of the marginalized kids playing basketball with the cops at overtime (1.5x) prices. She is arguing that this is a grant we've always accepted, but that's not true. It's a thing we've occasionally managed to refuse.

[Midwestern mechanic voice] See that's yer problem right der

In this week's podcast, Wyatt mentions how businesses are now just trying to go viral on social media instead of focusing on a good product, and this is a perfect example.

This sentence is a treat because it gets exponentially worse one word at a time.

Massachusetts is poised to scuttle yet another large sporting event and I'm conflicted the most about this one

Armadillos look like possums preparing for war

Some skircle.me movement

Anyway, I nearly get hit multiple times each week walking or biking around town, and when I complain I am lectured about manpower, yet the police have ample time to steal bikes from kids.

Garbage truck slows down important man forcing him to drive over the bike lane and onto sidewalk to get around - City looks to remove garbage service.

I went to prom with my lesbian best friend in her early 80s Subaru hatchback

Bring back all the historic canonically lesbian cars as electrical or hybrids. Suzuki Sidekick/Chevy Tracker Subaru Baja Mazda Miata/MX-5/MX-6 Toyota Celica/Scion xD OG Subaru lineup

*looks around for a millennial lesbian with a sea turtle tattoo and Birkenstocks* (I wish they still made the Baja)

Republicans went from the facade of "family values" to "let us murder your neighbors and diddle your children" in a single generation

This building feels very "modern Chicago" to me

ECONOMY: SHAMBLES OIL: $300 PER BARREL COUNTRY: ON FIRE REPUBLICANS: Hey man can i look in your child's pants? Just for a second man is it cool if i inspect your child's genitals. Just a quick little look man it's totally cool i just need to make sure you're not doing crimes. Just a quick touch man-

Remember everyone, this is fake spring, don't plant outdoors yet!

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

Boston needs more trolleys/trans, every metro in Canada is colder and snowier and they can do it!

Company Lacks Manpower To Complete Newest Round Of Layoffs https://theonion.com/company-lacks-manpower-to-complete-newest-round-of-layo-1819574660/

On yet another return from Canada, my reflection is that I'm always so awed by how much construction is going on in their metros, from housing to transit (and unfortunately a fair amount of auto infra, too)

Them: how can you always be on your own? Don’t you get bored? Me asf in the background clocking what everyone else is always up to:

When I see this argument, it eventually turns into, "My dad did all this on $30k/yr in the 70s," ignoring that that is $180k today. People just forget that inflation affects wages too.

The “latchkey kid” phenomenon that rose with Gen X (I was one) certainly wasn’t a result of mom having fun with her pals all day while dad was at work

Roseanne was a decent representation of the common white American experience financially. Two incomes, a revolving set of debts and an expectation that everyone pitch in. Even the 50's & 60's TV shows that created this mythos were explicitly highlighting the lives of men making 5 times the average

Does this look like 'Strange New Poo' to anyone else or is it just me?

One of the cheftestants looks like 90s era Rachael Leigh Cook

My son is happy we're home My daughter is just a happy girl

Were The Gorillaz being held at gunpoint and forced to perform on SNL?

ok I can get behind stealing from Jeff Bezos personally, but you get the shoplifting from a Whole Foods does nothing to hurt him and only raises prices and/or annoying anti-theft protocols for everyone else? Or they do what the Ralph’s in my neighborhood did and hire armed fucking security

Don't get me wrong, I've definitely found more community here than the last place, but I miss a few of the ones we lost along the way

I don't want to have to rebuild my community again if we all have to jump ship

Mafia-ass government

I just randomly thought about this very real tweet from @cheriepriest.com from 5 years ago and had to go find it
