Visiting the Tall Ships Parade of Sail tomorrow? Want to know where the best free, public viewing locations will be, 99% of them not recognized on SailBoston's map or identified by the Boston media? Here's a link to my complete, unrolled thread... skyview.social?url=https%3A...

😭Cabo Verde😭 but what a game.

I know we’re all focused on the match right now, but I need to know…have the Scots in Worcester discovered Turtle Boy? He needs a cone for sure.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

I am so happy that Boston is getting to experience the delightful and chaotic Scotspeople. I’m so proud. Next Friday Barry and I are going to PVD to watch the next game with the Tartan Army at G-Pub and I CANNOT WAIT for the joyful insanity. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

OH. MY. GOD.

For years now I've been dying to write the true & proper history of Worcester's most significant contribution to the world outside the dome, the SMILEY FACE, and I finally got to do so in PLAYBOY of all places check it out. tyvm to the @playboy.com team 😎 www.playboy.com/read/politic...

We've removed major hurdles to building affordable housing —  a move that will get homes up nearly 2 years faster. We’re in a race to tackle our housing crisis, because working New Yorkers can't afford to wait.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

This is performance art and I approve.

So our city councilors are asking for the train schedule? Let me Google that for you: www.mbta.com/schedules/CR... And content.amtrak.com/content/time...

NEW: The One-Hour City Conspiracy! “Here's the REAL conspiracy: Too many people are forced into car-dependent lives, with more health harms, crashes, noise, air pollution, social isolation —& less space for everything our streets should be giving us.” Thanks @usa.streetsblog.org #1HourCityConspiracy

I wish more educators and fewer lawyers would run for public office, in part b/c the best ones are naturals at explaining the whys of things. We could use more people in public life who cultivate understanding and bring people along together instead of "voters are too dumb to appreciate language"

I only had to pay the Federal Government $69 this year.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Another strange excuse from last night: “you can’t put a speed hump here because in the winter, people need to speed to get a running start up the hill.” We get nasty winter weather maybe 2 months of the year… But also speeding on snowy/icy streets is not smart??… (How do I know? I’m from WI)

Barry and I tuned into the standing committee on traffic and parking tonight, as our street was put on the agenda for consideration for speed humps. We both spoke in support of it for our street. 1/

Oooooh!!

#worcpoli imagine how beautiful this would be running down Main from Chandler down to Webster Square (and beyond)

Great thread!!

Exactly.

Question: when they say “150 troops” have been killed in Iran, do they mean 150 people, or 150 groups of people? And if groups, how many would that be? I’ve always thought a troop referred to a group…

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It's not Beavis and Butthead's fault that they feel this way. They've just never been afforded an enjoyable walkable environment by their city. They should be able to live above Burger World.

Gross.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

You love to see it.

I’m sick of the pothole topic. This is not what I want city councilors focusing on. But aside from increasing the budget for our DPW, another way to reduce wear and tear on our roads is reducing car dependance and increasing access to public transit, micromobility options, and walking. Just sayin’

Hey check out this new series of maps on the 2025 Worcester election — including data you can download! New but now in a version that works on desktop and mobile experience.arcgis.com/experience/c...

The jury delivering a verdict of guilty on the absurd charge of assault and battery leveled against @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social for her bravery in facing down ICE goons trying to rip a family apart should be shamed for the rest of their lives for their complicity in this tyrannical bullshit.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Omg UW-Madison!! 🙌

Bad Bunny just abolished ICE through relentless fuck you pride and joy

I AM IN TEARS! BAD BUNNY! THAT WAS ART. I am just…I can’t wait to watch it again. ❤️🇵🇷

I watch the luge and I think “you know, an ice slide does sound kinda fun… But…can I have a slower one?” #winterolympics

A troubling story of abuse of power against a Worcester City Councilor @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social who was trying to hold the WPD to account for a devastating DOJ report and found herself arrested as ICE tore apart a family without cause. By @billshaner.bsky.social theshoestring.org/2026/02/03/n...

So, this is a long shot, but: I'm looking to hire a developer/programmer for my non-profit arts org for ongoing part-time maintenance and troubleshooting work on a proprietary database that's coded primarily in VB[dot]net. (I know, long story, it is what it is.) Would appreciate leads/reposts!

ACTUAL RESEARCH: Comparison #2 (This is a new one.) Please help contribute to this real dataset. Look at these two slides. Just take a wild guess as to the average home value on each street. Reply with two dollar amounts, Street 1 and Street 2. Your input matters. Thank you!

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I'm trying to imagine what food in the US would be like without immigrants, indigenous people or African Americans and like... it wouldn't exist?

Anyone else seeking comfort in Zohran’s great snowstorm communications?

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street. They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

maaaajor photo of our mayor from @alexkrales.bsky.social in which we learn Mamdani is an iced-coffee-in-winter guy HUGE win for that community, congrats!!! (thought it was dunkin, which stopped me in my tracks, but no I don’t think the straw is the right shade of orange)

an off the cuff and very incomplete explainer on why it's so hard for the National Symphony Orchestra to part ways with the Kennedy Center

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

thinking about the pope pacing back and forth in his apartment at 3:30 am yelling at the tv
