How to wash yr hands

Exploded View, Middle East Upstairs, 2018

The most influential landscape architect of his generation. He took china’s singular willingness to invest state capacity in resilient landscapes and created an entire design language for it that the west is far behind in adopting at scale. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.

“Arrest and try every ICE agent” is the moderate democratic platform for 2026.

"lifelong Democrat" is something no actual Democrat would call themselves, just as "avid cyclist" is something no actual cyclist would call themselves, so it's a handy red flag that you're about to hear some weak right wing bullshit or some dumb anti-bike-lane propaganda, respectively.

"Ron Paul Maoism" is a beautiful girl's name

I’d had Richard Hofstadter’s “The Paranoid Style In American Politics” on my to-read list for years but finally got through it and sheesh. I knew it’d be relevant to today but still wild and profoundly unnerving just how much.

Most of the people I know in real life had no idea who he was until 10 days ago. They're all generally confused about why this random podcaster is inspiring such a brutal reaction.

Pour one out for a great DJ.

extremely fuck this. four neighbors gone.

“Arrest and try every ICE agent” is the moderate democratic platform for 2026. Get the fuck out of Somerville, pigs.

COME ON YOU MFING SPURS

Danny Welbeck and James Milner on the pitch like It’s 2010

Rest in peace to one of the kindest, and funniest, and best humans I've ever had the good luck to meet and know. Keith was an absolute gem, just an absolutely open and open-minded person with a huge heart.

Testing a theory: reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

RIP to an absolute legend The Optimo/Espacio mixes were always incredible, and as a message board nerd in the early 00’s he was down in the trenches with us, knowledgeable and generous, I wouldn’t known half the music I love without him. Stirmonster forever. 🖤

Make sure you keep having hobbies. Old ones from when you were young, or new ones, or both. Collect stuff, make stuff, learn about stuff, give yourself projects. Banish all thought of monetizing said hobby, it exists only for you to enjoy. Find a community of people also into the hobby, nerd out.

All hail the best patent drawing ever

The pharmacy at Stop & Shop is doing walk-ins except the first and last hour they're open.

Thanks to this post I ordered this set from @forcedexposure.bsky.social and got it within 24 hours because I live one town over, and spent all day yesterday living that brutal life. Thank you @theblackdog.bsky.social

CVS in Somerville was able to do a same day appointment for flu and Covid shots yesterday, got it sorted so quick. My fellow massholes, villens, etc, do yrselves and your community a favor and get it done asap.

The thing that disabused me from my youthful dabblings in libertarianism was realizing that the high minded talk about "rights" was in precisely conflict with the insistence that public ownership of anything was against the individualist and libertarian ethos... 1/2

Again: Free speech is when conservatives can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Disney paid more than a quarter of a billion dollars to make season 2 of ANDOR and apparently did not watch it.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Truly spellbinding show from Tara Clerkin Trio at Warehouse Xi in Somerville last night. Honestly hard to describe, can't remember the last time I saw a band that sounded so new, so of the time. taraclerkintrio.bandcamp.com go see them if you can, get records if you can't.

Donald Trump doesn't need to deploy the National Guard to stoke fear in Massachusetts. It's already happening with ICE. This is your regular reminder that LUCE is a great community resource. If you suspect an ICE sighting, please call so they can spread the word: 617-370-5023

im kind of a 90s kid so my key robert redford movie is "sneakers"

I have never once, in my decades of following politics (far too) closely, heard a call to "understand" the voters of the left, the politicians of the left, the public voices of the left, anything. The left is politics (gross, demanding scorn), the right is just dudes (righteous, requiring empathy)

Both he and Newman were exactly what famous actors should be: concerned with doing good work and getting good films made, displaying an affection and love for art, having fun hobbies, giving lots of their time and money to help people and not being a complete piece of shit in their personal life RIP

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

@mayorkatjana.bsky.social What is the City doing to stop masked thugs from kidnapping our people? Is SPD here to help us or help them?

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Sad news. Hermeto Pascoal, "wizard of Brazilian music," has left us at age 89. www.diariodocentrodomundo.com.br/hermeto-pasc...

I think I'm going to make "have awesome friends, have cool hobbies" be my new radicalism. Literally that's all you need in life. Elon Musk is poor because he has no friends. Sam Altman is poor because he has no fucking hobbies.
