HC apparently moved this to zoom but didn’t cancel it lol get outta here w this ice career fair bullshit. Go back to training future CIA lawyers

This is a metaphor for the nov 4 municipal election in Worcester Massachusetts

Just finished episode 45. As usual Etel speaks candidly - we should all absorb what she has to say! Thanks @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social and @billshaner.bsky.social

@billshaner.bsky.social @masspolwatch.bsky.social @telemundo52.com @wgbh.org

We were depleted, but thank you @billshaner.bsky.social for giving me a chance to shine light on all this. www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-45...

If you're bummed on worcester and worcester politics right now i think you'll get an awful lot out of this interview with @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social i just put up. I know I sure did! www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-45...

Here's some writing for Hell World from the good folks joining me at The Sinclair today (4pm) @billshaner.bsky.social Later he would complain "She's putting the baby in harm's way." A classic move: "harm" goes undefined because the harm is him. www.welcometohellworld.com/they-dont-ne...

Worcester Telegrram and @bostonglobe.com when can any of you important publications get on board with this story which is incredibly important to share. Thanks Heather @billshaner.bsky.social and tom Marino. @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

The cherry on top.. hard to process/harder to describe the cosmic 'fuck you' at play here

listening to mamdani brimming with abstract intellectual pride whilst feeling physically in my bones that i yet again got punished for caring about the cursed city of worcester massachusetts

The work @billshaner.bsky.social and @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social to shine a light on a horrific crime and even more disgusting cover-up is invaluable. Regardless of the election outcome, 2026 is going to see some long-overdue hoisting of crank petards in Worcester.

Good day to catch the elusive worcester tumble weed (recycle bin in the road)

Cheney dies on Zohran Day.. finally we dab back

go voted today here's all you need to know! www.worcestersucks.email/p/the-worces...

Really proud of how this one came out and so grateful to Heather for doing it www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-43...

SG Goodman is the god’s honest truth

You know what’s spooky is this freakin wind

Patrolman's union president Thomas Duffy launching a snot rocket on someone's stoop before dropping off his little thin blue line election flyers in maybe legal maybe not fashion. Also definitely gets snot on the whole stack hahahah

May 2013 — Worcester Rep. John Fresolo resigns after a closed-door ethics probe into “serious allegations,” including per-diem abuse. The findings were never made public. Do secret investigations protect the powerful? @billshaner.bsky.social @hendersonma.bsky.social @worcestermagazine.bsky.social

the free piss

yo soy still chuckling about this. God damn. What an asshole

BREAKING Worcester city councilor performs greatest Tim and Eric bit of all time

Avant-garde move from the New York Times here, writing a post within the zone of interest universe www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Moe Bergman brought up a months old item on recalls in order to take shots at Thu, a councilor who is not running for reelection.. and in the process demonstrated he, a lawyer, was dead wrong about a basic provision in the city charter and had to be corrected in real time on camera. We love it

Resigning from the research organization because it... put out good research at an appropriate time. Lmao. You know what they say Tim if you can't take the citations get out of the library

Neat insert in the latest harpers. Also: friendly reminder that gannett can go fuck 👍

Grifters all the way down

(Attenborough voice) the elusive he/they

To me it says everything that Cuomo knows he won’t win, knows the ICE storm the city is in for once Mamdani does, and he’s willing to rip the social fabric of the city apart for rejecting his attempt at redemption.

Gotta love an art thief. In order to do it, you have to be a cold-blooded analytical criminal mastermind. But in order to /want/ to do it, you gotta be downright whimsical. rare combo

Nov 8 at @thesinclair.bsky.social in Cambridge with @billshaner.bsky.social Dave Wedge @eoinhiggins.bsky.social and @evangreer.bsky.social www.sinclaircambridge.com/events/detai...

It's almost as if the economic prostitute that City officials hired to tell them what they wanted to hear did exactly that. If only someone had warned them... wbjournal.com/article/spor...

It’s almost like basing their entire economic projections on assuming that the zero interest rate and low labor/material cost environment would continue forever was really stupid!

Ooph. It's like what every critic said would happen.

👍

Here it is, my masterpiece youtu.be/xexqNIYNySg?...

Really really powerful stuff from Heather here www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQip... and great TWIW story. It's so fucked up that Monfredo is still in the good graces of Petty et al thisweekinworcester.com/worcester-vo...

Shot / chaser

The fresolo Pezzella clip cut I’m cooking up will shock AND awe lmao poor district 3. Never stood a chance

these fucks need to just copy paste already. You don't need to wipe out a species of rare birds to make a post that's somehow more wack and potentially damaging than a word-for-word reprint. Ctrl A, Ctrl C, Ctrl V. It takes 2 seconds and it's actually better journalism than this shit

Tonight come hang! We’ll have tha @wgbh.org mayoral debate on in order to talk shit on Joe live

going to give a talk at worcester state and i just dont want to deal with this parking pass rigamarole - best street spots over there?

Just figured this should be floating about

It’s over Jose’s getting spanked nov 4 and he knows it

[trueanon gun cocking noise]

District 3 race is even funnier and more pointless than we previously thought was possible I guess. The forum tonight was better than any episode of parks and rec ever written

Was gone this weekend. Did anyone report that the ballpark commission approved a massive active shooter drill that used to be held at a military base for polar park next June as a “community event” or is that news?

Here's the 'send the homeless to work farms' line from Satya Mitra last night. You gotta love the applause (one lady very stoked) almost as much as him calling it "innovation"
