From what I hear, pre-revolution France was a pretty great time to be rich. I'm sure it continued to get better for the rich in France, right? 😬

As a child I saw Star Wars and I was like "I want to be Leia" I got smacked and said that was a girl, IDIOT! Still want to be Leia. :)

iykyk i guess

Unironically this movie is what made me realize I was trans and then I didn’t tell anyone for 15 years, happy Pride

People need to stop calling their partner “old ball and chain.” It’s sexist and means you don’t want to spend time with your partner. Instead, say “old cuffs and gags.” It lets people know you love your partner and you’re kinky!

I love how I can walk around the Back Bay and pass like six churches with pro-trans and pro-LGBT messaging

Do you want to accept my cookies?

The Old South Church in Boston (1669) says God Loves Trans People! Love that dirty water, Boston you're my home!

Boston, where you can ride the Kinki train to the LesBoat! It's kinda awesome that we got a free lesbian harbor cruise!

Americans and Europeans need to do a building technology knowledge swap: we help them retrofit their old buildings with air conditioning and they help us retrofit ours with elevators.

“I look around downtown Worcester and see endless stretches of empty parking lots most of the time. It’s poor land use and creates heat islands.” 📍Worcester, MA (The 2nd largest City, by population, in New England) www.masslive.com/centralmass/...

So interesting, isn't it, where the Court will allow you to carry a gun (anywhere around the country) and where it won't (around them)

I'm so bemused by this. Not "show me the price in dollars." Nah, show me the price in money 🤑

I was totally unprepared for this to be a commercial

I need to get better at art, but this idea popped into my head: the ChapStick Lesbian Flag

While we're on the topic of alcohol. It costs about $100,000 just to get a liquor license in Somerville. Before you sign a lease or pour a single drink. Why? A cap from prohibition times (1933). The city voted unanimously to scrap it. Beacon Hill said no. Let's lift the cap!

I'm guessing strip mahjong isn't what I think it is

"In Cambridge, neither the Mayor nor the City Council has direct authority over the Board of License Commissioner…That means the new rules won’t come up for a vote from any elected body." 🤬 The Cambridge City Council basically exists to hire the city manager - with almost all power delegated 😔

1/3 It's actually amazing how well this whole reflecting pool fiasco is a perfect microcosm of fascism. 1. Identify a problem, no matter how small, and make it CRITICAL that only you can fix! 2. Cult of action: Fix the problem quickly and without nuance or overthinking 3. Obsession with a plot

But we've gotten remakes of GoldenEye 007. Given that Perfect Dark is the same engine as GoldenEye 007, I'm surprised they didn't release that remake as Perfect Dark when they failed to get all the GoldenEye rights.

I misread a car's bumper sticker as "Bitch Life" It said "Beach Life", but now I wanna create a sticker with the same beach imagery that says "Bitch Life"

1) State forces trans woman to carry male license 2) Cop thinks her license is fake and she's charged with not having a valid license

"Ghana have never beaten England, but as we know the English historically struggle here in Massachusetts" Is that a soccer reference or a Revolutionary War reference? 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk’s politics, because he is desperate to brand himself an insurgent against the powerful elite, but as the world’s first trillionaire, he needs a definition of “elite” not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

I'm putting together some teams to win the most prestigious soccer tournament being held in the US this year! Gotta figure out some good team names. • Rat City FC • Green Line Ex-Goalfriends • Green Line Explosion • Pothole Dodgers • Fluff Cones • Slumervillains • Bike Lane Bandits • CRIME

Why do sports bras come with removable cups?

Since OpenAI was founded, tens of millions of people have died in the US alone.

I think about this one A Lot

The prudent financial decision to be cis and straight

I have a Ford Focus and all too often I'm driving next to a truck/SUV whose hood is taller than my whole vehicle. Too often, tall trucks and SUVs parked near intersections obscure sight lines making it hard for drivers to see pedestrians and bikers.

Bostonians always think of Boston as really dense, but our density drops off fast. 6 miles from the city center, LA is 2.5x denser. 12 miles from the city center, LA is 4.5x denser. This really limits our ability to expand the T and provide good Commuter Rail service. We need more housing.

Why do we still have England when we have New England? New England is better in every way: better standard of living, better education, more protections for civil rights and we aren’t massive transphobes.

So many cyclist deaths begin with a stationary driver blocking the bike lane. The disconnect between cyclists, who see this as a life-threatening reckless action, and drivers, who see this is a minor parking infraction, is what often leads to discord.

Here's an example of doing teshuvah: Oskar Schindler, a rich nazi war profiteer who ended up spending his entire fortune saving Jewish lives. It's not enough to simply regret doing something bad and move on. You must correct what you've done without regard for what you're losing.

Everyone seems really into this "Two Worlds One Cup" or something

Heck I looked cute on stream today

I'm not looking to criticize this post, but I think there's interesting semi-related bits of Jewish theology to talk about: Lo Bashamayim Hi ("Not in Heaven") and The Oven of Akhnai Eruvs (the 'fishing line' in the post) Sins against G-d vs sins against other people 🧵

Fun fact: when Canada was being created, they considered many other names: • Anglia • Albionoria • Borealia • Cabotia • Colonia • Efisga • Hochelaga • Laurentia • Mesopelagia • New Albion • Norland • Superior • Tupona • Transatlantica • Ursalia • Vesperia • Victorialand

You can tell I'm a sadist from all the pain I enjoy inflicting on people with my puns!

🎶 And she says I wish that I could be like the cool disks 'Cause all the cool disks, they seem to fit in I wish that I could be like the cool disks Like the cool disks 🎶

Acquired ice cream with the wife. Nom.

I should text her. You know, Carpe DM

the World Cup is showing just how much Americans yearn for culture

Birds: it's 3am. Go to bed!

Huh, just like a real cop: it doesn't do its job and gets rewarded with early retirement

✡️ Even the local Jewish pub is loving the Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One of my favorite roads on a perfect New England day

I never want the Scots to leave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Went to a bar after playing soccer tonight. Kid with bagpipes comes in and the Scots start singing Flower of Scotland (the best national anthem). The Norwegians were also fun and started rowing their booth 🇳🇴

Propaganda happened. Republicans needed scapegoats, right-wing podcasters and YouTubers used us as punching bags while they grifted their way to riches, and billionaires consolidated control of media empires.

Totally! He comes into office with little-kid ideas like "why don't we fill in the potholes", "childcare would make life better for kids and parents", "illegal dumping is bad", and "landlords should have to make their apartments safe for people." Too many adults become inured to the way things are
