Buried deep in your monthly utility bill, there's a charge for the consulting and legal fees your utility racks up when it goes before state regulators and asks to raise your rates. My latest story on how a proposed law in Mass seeks to change that @wbur.org www.wbur.org/news/2026/04...

A happy International Transgender Day of Visibility to everyone who is trans or loves someone who is. You are worthy of respect, you are worthy of dignity, you are worthy of protection, you are worthy of autonomy, you are worthy of love, and you are worthy of living a long life.

@josius.bsky.social Hey Joe! Happy belated Opening Day. How’s the recovery going?

Watching my first Nats game of the season (from the couch). Spring is here (it’s 28° outside).

The 15 teams opening at home for the season should all play on the same day and start at roughly the same time - the same way the last game of the regular season is played.

I am late to this. The Dodgers renamed their stadium what?

STOP THE COUNT! ⚾

Glad to see the Nationals above 500 for the first time in what feels like at least 32 years. Let's Go Nats!!!

A happy Opening Day to all who celebrate! Let’s go Nationals!!!

Happy Maryland Day to the state with the most spectacular beauty, the most delicious food, and the most talented people 💛❤️🖤

A very happy Maryland Day to everyone who hails from the Free State, loves someone from there, or just enjoys the amazing state & its flag.

But...why?

We let Gen Z write the @wbur.org fundraising script for this video and here are the results. Great work from everyone being a good sport on this! ➡️ wbur.org/donate www.youtube.com/shorts/6pPT5...

Happy International Puppy Day from Bear!

I have grown tired of media which degrades us all. Here's my essay on how The Bachelorette scandal - which may force ABC to scrap an entire season costing $30 million - also shows how so-called reality TV series have corroded media...and us viewers. READ: https://loom.ly/ALpqWOo

A fascinating bit of Massachusetts history from @universalhub.com and worth your time to read.

Millennials get your ironic jokes out now THIS IS NOT A DRILL post them all

here's the itsy bitsy spider about halfway up the waterspout (exterior view)

They better be doing this on a night they're playing the Washington Nationals (neé Montréal Expos).

Gross.

Someone posted they were surprised to see orcas offshore but l'd be more surprised seeing orcas onshore

Great story from @wbur.org's @stephaniembrown.bsky.social. A man who thought he was going to spend his life in prison was released on parole six months ago. So how do you restart your life after something like that? www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

A regular reminder that Congress, no matter which party is in the majority, has a ridiculous amount of control over the local laws of Washington DC. Stuff that's decided at the city, not even state, level in most other parts of the country.

The last hurdle has been cleared for Gillette Stadium to host the FIFA Men's World Cup matches this summer. The Foxborough Select Board has approved an entertainment license for the games to take place after assurances that the town would not be on the hook for security costs.

A very happy St Patrick’s Day to all my fellow Dans, Dannys, Danis, and Daniels who have to put up with this every March 17th. youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU?...

Just some amazing work here from @wbur.org's @bertoscalese.bsky.social & @meghanbkelly.bsky.social to explain the history and significance between Boston's original March 17th holiday: Evacuation Day. www.youtube.com/shorts/U5rGc...

Bigger than the World Series, a thing he also hasn't won yet

Just an amazing day to sit on the couch and watch sports: 🥌Canada/China gold medal Paralympics curling ⚽️Legacy FC debut against Gotham FC 🏒Capitals/Bruins to an extended shootout ⚾️Italy/PR WBC quartefinal What’s next before Venezuela/Japan WBC quarterfinal?

Tired: Canada should be the 51st American state Wired: Canada should be the 32nd Mexican state

What I find interesting about this line is that it’s an admission in order for this to happen, they need you to lose your ordinary intelligence that you already have. This is why they want to get into schools. They want kids to lose basic capacity so that they have to rent it forever.

if Team Italy isn't dancing to Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso after wins a la the 2022 Phillies with Dancing On My Own... what is this tournament even for???

no days off

I know the world is… yeah… right now. However: love this opinion piece from noted Mets fan @rygraham.bsky.social asking for baseball season to arrive soon. Can’t wait to be “mad” at my 60-win Nationals instead of <sweeping gesture>. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/08/o...

Growing up in the DC area in the 80s/90s, the ADC road maps that everyone used had circles showing your distance from the White House. As a kid I thought it was neat I lived 12 miles from the White House. As I got older, I realized they were there for info for when the Cold War nukes came.

When it comes to things from The Simpsons I say in every day life, "Boo-urns" is way way up there. Happy 31st.

Can we fast forward to this please? 😅 Thanks. -DN

Teena Marie's death was one of those moments that made me grateful to work in a diverse newsroom (WUSA, CBS affiliate in DC). She died and I was like "yeah the woman who sang Lovergirl." My Black colleagues were like "she is so much more than that," got me up to speed, and our coverage better for it

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Oh Jub Jub!

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

A truck carrying Vicks Vaporub overturned on the highway here but the good news is there has been no congestion for 8 hours.

This is great and all but where can I buy my Megan Keller Team USA shirsey?

A very happy 227 day to all who celebrate. It’s a perfect day to crank the amazing theme song sung by Marla Gibbs: youtu.be/86gO3rVdA2s?...

We already had one of these this winter. It was pretty and fluffy. Can we not do this again?

Absolutely love and whole-heartedly agree with @chadfinn.bsky.social here about the beauty in a sports call when TV announcers let a moment breathe and speak for itself. During Alysa Liu’s performance, the crowd told you everything you needed to know. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/21/s...

Annual Valentine’s Day tradition of visiting The Bugs Bunny Film Festival with @dgquovadimus.bsky.social came a little late this year, but was well worth the wait! @brattletheatre.bsky.social Thanks for a great excuse to duck out of work for “lunch”! A ‘Gansett tall boy and popcorn counts, right?

There's some Asian kid out there who doesn't feel comfortable in their skin right now who will hopefully see this and know there is a place for them and their personality in this world.
