23 FEBRUARY 1776, BOSTON: The redcoat officers’ amateur theatric company perform the play The Wonder of Wonders at Faneuil Hall. John Rowe describes the performance as “generally approved of.”

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

The chairlift operators are back at work.

Thank a plow driver for working outside today

Hello, police? I just saw a murder.

Every time I write about measles, experts warn that polio is next. But it's been so long since we had polio outbreaks, there are very few doctors who even know how to treat its long-term health issues. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

No school tomorrow — snowfall is expected for several more hours & safety comes first. We’ll need time overnight & tomorrow to clear snow for safe commutes for bus riders & walkers.

Extraordinary seeing BOS Logan Airport on Flightradar24 with only plows on the runways

Came across @bengazur.bsky.social's "A Short History of the World in..." book series from @mitpress.bsky.social. This one sounds pretty interesting! mitpressbookstore.mit.edu/book/9781789...

Market Basket's closed, this is serious

People joke about crazy cat ladies, but can your dumb baby kill a mouse and leave it in your shoe for you to find in the morning?

We just published a blog talking about the last half of the UP200 race and what that meant for us as handlers. I have to say, I never had "sleeping in a sawmill" on my bingo card lol. Check it out: www.theurbanmushers.com/p/handling-s... #uglydogs #mushersky

I'm absolutely living on the acts of sportsmanship and great day did our best appreciation posts seen lately. Whether you hug your competitor or love a sunny day you take the same people and dogs home, this is it right here. #Olympics #mushersky

Consumption of aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-k, erythritol, sorbitol and xylitol was linked to faster declines in overall cognitive function, especially memory. Tagatose was the only sweetener studied that did not show an association with cognitive decline. scitechdaily.com/popular-suga...

Feb. 23, 1776: A French court orders that two slaves from the West Indies be freed because slavery cannot be permitted in the country. Gabriel Pampy, 24, and Amynte Julienne, 18, had both sued their master, Isaac Mendès-France, for their freedom a month ago. 1/4

Good morning from inside the snow globe. Lost power at 6:30 am, which also means the well won’t pump water and no heat. We do have a small generator to keep the fridge powered, so that’s good. It’s going to be a long day and a loooong week.

We’re so fucked here they had to mark up the map special just for us.

Annd we have the winner of the Shelby Scott Award for Noreaster Reporting Congrats to RhondellaRichardson at @wcvb5.bsky.social ON HER DAY OFF

Boston's first responders partner with organizations like Pine Street to help protect our unsheltered neighbors. If you see anyone who looks like they need help during this blizzard, please call 911.

Really can't emphasize enough that my main use for this site is not to be Taken Seriously By Media but rather to post that, in the original 1957 book, the Grinch is at least 53 years old. The Grinch has seen two world wars and a great depression. He doesn't need to hear shit from you

I remember when we could still see green

Ok, this is a good deal of fun. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

That's a wrap on another Olympics! Women athletes owned these Games: Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Hilary Knight to name a few! And there's one woman, from 100 years ago, who is the real reason women are here. She was written out of history and buried in an unmarked grave. This is a 🧵 about her!

Is there a technology the left is excited about? Do you mean “books”?

We’re in the heart of the storm now until early afternoon—winds gusting 50+ mph & snowfall at 2+ in/hr. It’s impossible to keep roads clear under whiteout conditions, but we have 900+ plows & trucks out keeping roadways manageable until we can really clear once the snow slows. Stay in & stay safe!

Best part of my day.

I think it is cute how the MTA safely stows a bunch of trains during snowstorms on the express tracks underground. It is like a safe little burrow for trains! Bring them hot cocoa. Turn the evil recipe digital ads to cozy fireplace videos.

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

California is in its longest known lull in SARS-CoV-2 transmission in at least four years. It is probably one of the lower-risk time periods for getting delayed medical or dental care, acknowledging all care carries risk. 🧵THREAD 1 of 3

Time to pull out this bad boy.

Betty slid away in high dudgeon, he fingers wedged firmly into her muff. How she longed for the day she could leave High Dudgeon and live somewhere that wasn't fucking freezing every day. #GirlsOwnGG

“Early in his career, Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at Vanderbilt University…worked with the CDC to implement the measles vaccine. When he tells medical students today that in the 1960s, before the measles vaccine, 400 to 500 kids died of measles & its complications each year, “They’re stunned”

[this program contains adult situations] like what? is there a scene of someone paying their taxes? does someone get a colonoscopy screening?

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Poutine smoothies for me.

Well done, intertubes
