guys, there are some really great kids books

Skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa. A magnificent part of a city.

Re-sharing this in light of Maura Healey's State of the Commonwealth last night. She should be pushing the Legislature to take action ASAP on these items.

Reminder: Today’s your last day to change your marketplace health plan in MA to try to mitigate the huge premium jumps (my gf is currently trying to do this and it is Not Going Well)

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle. No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.

A united caucus would have communicated to the country that one party stands reliably against what is happening, and that one party (bar one renegade member) does not. That matters.

White police-spec explorer with expired MA commercial plates in the zombie star market parking lot, hmmm

"Things are not normal. Things are not okay. The state AGs are meeting an unhinged moment exactly where it is." Great stuff from @sarahjeong.bsky.social, and major shoutout to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social, who does seem to be rising to the moment as much as anyone www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

Operation Barbarossa

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

Supports my longtime lukewarm take: Nighttime fatalities aren’t just a function of darkness — excess roadway capacity and lack of congestion leads to speeding.

Liberation Day is this term’s Infrastructure Week

Shout it from the rooftops

Plotline for Mitchells vs the Machines II just dropped

Your constituents are trying to talk to you, @whipkclark.bsky.social. Are you listening?

be careful what you wish for, kid

Oh Brookline… “Four non-white members have left the [diversity] commission in the past year – Wu is [was] the only remaining person of color on the committee.”

One of the highest-testing messages is AOC’s message that Trump is cutting your health care to fund ICE’s violence. It’s quite easy to tell a unified story that resonates.

Who wants to join me for a highly immature but cathartic househunting trip to Dedham?

“Freaks and Geeks” was good, “Undeclared” was great

So who’s litigating this?

Hey friends! A quick reminder: tonight, 6pm, Aeronaut in Somerville. I would love to see you there.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

Gonna be SO MANY crashes from people looking up from their giant in-car screens because of the roadside distraction of a giant LED video orb. Don’t let them use the resulting congestion to justify more Beltway widening.

The Instagram algorithm seems to be like 60% about trying to get me to care about a Justin Baldoni beefing with a Blake Lively and I will take my total ignorance to my grave.

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

The High Cost of Fash Parking

There’s some genuine good news

He’s the buffoon in the Austrian airport ad

Retirees and librarians in MSP doing far more to rein in ICE than my rep, @whipkclark.bsky.social. Truly, we make us safe.

Nuremberg / Truth and Reconciliation 2028

My Father Of the Year nomination reel: This laser snowball hit right in my daughter’s forehead while sledding.

It’s 10 degrees F. There’s no bad weather, only badasses

No responses from City Council, or Clark of course. Just gonna keep calling, I guess.

Dear @whipkclark.bsky.social: as a constituent, I’m angry you are floating bodycams/oversight rather than the full dismantling of ICE. Good’s killing was already recorded — indeed, by the killer himself! You cannot “reform” ICE. ICE’s purpose is to terrorize communities. #mapoli #AbolishICE #MA5

We’re not gonna obsess over one Somali Trump voter when he’s still not even underwater with whites, right?

Chesterfield is a beautiful name

Dems are not in array

Just one more reason why “ban institutional home ownership” is bad policy: These are the guys making the policy.

they were just kids

one fucking year

TIL that Lewis Hamilton’s dad is trying to launch a V10-powered single-seater racing series. It sounds like vaporware, but boy it is rather personally-compelling vaporware. www.autosport.com/general/news...

A routine regime change isn’t going to restore any global trust in the USA. Our weaknesses and faults have been laid out for all to see. Only a Nuremberg will move us toward a re-entrance to global leadership.
