Jeopardizing my marriage by locking myself in a basement bathroom all Thanksgiving so I can binge the year’s most anticipated series* on arguably the biggest streaming service** on my phone before anyone*** can spoil it for me *Blossoms Shanghai **The Criterion Channel ***No one I know

Oslo is very upset to learn the Coolidge doesn’t allow puppies and he won’t be joining us for Sentimental Value tonight.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Love my neighborhood

Friends! We’ll see you today for this emergency rally outside Fenway Health. Join us to protest their shameful decision to abandon Trans Youth!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This machine fights fascists.

Acting like Ralph Cifaretto after he saw The Gladiator, only I keep saying “Hail St. Nick” and asking people “what’s my favorite kind of pussy?”

September in Boston, where you can always find a random refrigerator on the sidewalk

JD Vance said the government had to deport undocumented immigrants because they increase demand for and thus prices of housing for citizens. What they’ve actually accomplished is to decimate construction of new supply, which will definitely increase prices for everyone

If you don’t live in/around Boston you might not know how much we are getting inundated with Pro-Kraft/anti-Wu ads, but it’s critical context to understanding just how funny this is

Somewhere along the way of the infinite growth, “everything app”-ification of the internet people forgot that a website/app can just be one of the many places you go for information, opinions, engagement, etc

Since everyone is asking:

After 16 years in Boston, I finally made it onto UHub

"Most of the people who live outside the city drive cars to work. This is far more dangerous than riding the subway. Last year there were 10 murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City."

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I know I’m getting old because this song has started hitting me like an absolute ton of bricks open.spotify.com/track/5oOC6E...

A political message I think most left leaning/progressive people could get behind: We should build more housing in the places people want to live, and we should put more money into the pockets of folks who need it to participate in the market for said housing.

He’s still mad about Parasite winning

It’s deeply depressing that it will take a severe economic downturn for this kind of call for impeachment to happen but mildly encouraging that the downturn appears increasingly imminent

Cardinals-Red Sox double header means 18+ innings of Boston fans yelling “Nootbaa’h”

Adolescence and The Pitt represent the two platonic ideals of the TV. One is form defying, challenging, and intentionally limited. The other is a fresh take on a classic formula, topically relevant but universally enjoyable, and could run for 20 seasons.

Capt. Scrummy's Frozen Treats (1956-1993): A line of 49 flavoriffic frozen novelty items on sticks, famously sold on bicycle by uniformed "Capt. Scrummy Men" in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, during the summer. Popular items included Pineapple Blurt and the Sludgesicle (pictured below)

Idk when you combine this with his attempts to kill congestion pricing in NY and high speed rail in CA, it kind of feels like there is an agenda here that has nothing to do with the interests of the American public

Breaks my heart watching well intentioned activists in my city fight tooth and nail to stop any and all upcoming in the name of preventing displacement, just to ensure housing becomes increasingly unaffordable

every commenter on the internet who complains about bike lanes once saw a cyclist pedal through a red light and now uses it as justification for why they should be allowed to run over anyone else on the road
