We need to find a way to tell the youths about alt-weeklies so they restart them

Let's call this the "time is a flat circle" episode. Talking Boston Massacre, and the moments throughout history when theoretical violence becomes real violence.

RIP to Dan. His "A decade of Philly sports fans on the TV news" video from the other site is pure gold.

Just when you think the world can't get any darker... www.grubstreet.com/article/why-...

Doesn't seem like a puzzle that needs four people

Defector's @jaspercwang.bsky.social on why it's ok for business owners to choose integrity over survival. With host @greenwell.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Today's podcast from @stabert.bsky.social is very on theme with the rest of my current playlist.

Talking the Patriots' resurgence with @christopherprice.bsky.social — how is this new era impacting local fandom? Aka where are Pats fans at, emotionally.

@christopherprice.bsky.social alerted me to the existence of this promo, and I will never be the same. #patriots #tombrady

Hot take: I think it is fine that Garrett Stubbs is drinking his wife's breast milk.

Let me tell you about my nostalgia of visiting my grandfather in Mission Hill and having franks and beans with a slice of scali bread and a can of tonic. 😂

Is Boston secretly an Asian food mecca?

Modern day loaves and fishes

Great episode about @bostonlegacyfc.com, @stabert.bsky.social. Zoe and I bought season tickets even though they're at Gillette this year because we were worried about ending up on a waitlist when they move to White Stadium. Can't wait for the season to start! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

the Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champs and in position to be the #1 seed in the NFC. every one of their games is excruciating to watch, all their fans spend every game completely furious, and every story is about how the team is in complete disarray they're gonna repeat, Go Birds

Interviewed a Boston legend about a Boston legend today (they are both in this picture). #explainbostontome

This week, I learn about Roslindale: bleav.com/shows/explai...

Do Doomsday preppers get LASIK?

i loved the 2025 philadelphia phillies. no playoffs can make me hate them. defector.com/what-ill-rem...

Not like that

@epeemike81.bsky.social One of my most prized possessions from the 2008 Campaign/2008 World Series crossover moment. Plus Boston and Philly share a love of the Flyin' Hawaiian.

EAGLES BLOCK THE FIELD GOAL [AGAIN] TO WIN THE GAME JORDAN DAVIS! MERRILL REESE AND MIKE QUICK ON THE CALL! #FlyEaglesFly

The Phillies are playing fantastic baseball and I have never been more terrified about what they have planned for me.

Wait WHAT happened in the Phillies game????

Woke up thinking about Trea Turner's hamstring.

Husband book alert

Yessss. Three games in Boston.

Husband alert @dygottlieb.bsky.social

Thank you!

Additional fun fact that pairs well with today's @stabert.bsky.social episode on Charles Sumner: Edward Everett was the featured speaker at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, speaking for over two hours before the president gave a much better remembered two minute speech.

there’s an election for Cat Mayor currently happening in Somerville, Mass. and every cat deserves to win

This week, talking about Martha's Vineyard and the time guest Shayla Martin saw Eric Holder eating an ice cream cone:

Jesus Luzardo from the wind-up --- Jesus Luzardo from the stretch

I'll never be happy again (baseball)

It seems the Phillies are never scoring a run ever again...

Amazing lol

I am vibrating with anxiety after that ninth inning. Yay we won?

lmao

Love this! I still need to listen to "Divine Intervention"

The Red Sox are successfully getting me to pay attention to them the old fashioned way: DRAMA. #rafaeldevers

the new pope went to Villanova which means he has definitely had someone look him in the eye and say “Go Birds” at least once in his life

My neighbor Jacinda Ardern, former PM of New Zealand, was kind enough to come on Explain Boston to Me to chat about her time in Cambridge. She'll be talking about her new memoir at The Chevalier in Medford on 6/1. (Grateful to @epeemike81.bsky.social for pointing out a title typo for the ages.)

Nothing better than talking transit. Thanks to Seth Kaplan from @transitmatters.bsky.social for enlightening me on Boston's challenges and strengths. bleav.com/shows/explai...
