absolutely insane clip from the Michael (2026) teaser where it's implied Michael Jackson had to write down "mama se mama sa mama koo sa" (twice) to be reminded how to sing it

7 of 9 city councilors endorsed by Cambridge Bike Safety bike lanes win let's call it the mobility mandate!

GOOD MORNING TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW AMSTERDAM

“Josh Kraft’s mayoral campaign has apparently convinced too many people in City Hall who ought to know better that making streets safer and investing in public transit was politically risky. Josh Kraft’s election results should debunk that theory for good.“

this portion of zohrans victory speech genuinely brought tears to my eyes

after years of painstaking research, scientists have constructed the Worst Possible Slate for Cambridge City Council elections

listen, I didn't stop listening to Nirvana when they started selling the smiley face shirts at Urban Outfitters; I'm not gonna stop using em-dashes just because chatGPT uses them

Abolish ICE is the moderate position. There need to be trials.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

New England can only dream of California’s bold “eat my ass and hair” approach to rich sociopaths trying to keep people off the state’s 100% public beaches.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

There are like a dozen videos this bad or worse per week now. This stuff is insane.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

yeah, at this point, if those generals want to do a military coup to depose this administration, I would accept that

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

It's not lost on me that the majority of the folks doing ICE watch stuff in my area of Massachusetts are women, two of whom stopped an abduction with their presence over the weekend. In spite of all the risks, people *are* fighting to protect their neighbors and that should give us hope.

#arnoldarboretum is a gem. Its not safe to get to. South street in particular has people going 50 down it with no speed bumps, no bike lanes, no sidewalks. I routinely see people walking & biking there with cars attempting to pass. Lets take some space and put these in @wutrain.bsky.social

My masters thesis was on pedestrian deaths in car crashes, focusing on sound since at the time there was strong debate that electric cars needed to be audible for blind people like myself. There was absolutely no statistical significance in pedestrian safety- it was 100% on the car driver.

Trigger warning. “In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.” Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Republicans in D.C. cancelled a $2M grant for @cambridgemass.bsky.social to build a new bridge that would connect Danehy Park to affordable housing along Rindge Ave. Now, the city's using other federal funds to build it anyhow. #mapoli mass.streetsblog.org/2025/09/23/t...

On the street, it's got a dozen names. Some call 'em White Devils. Simple, classic. Some cats call 'em The Levelers, 'cause they take you from a 10 on the pain scale down to a zero. Smooths you right out. You call it Tylenol. I call it death.

Strange, the bully is kicking my ass even though I've been telling everyone how much I respect him. Maybe he hasn't heard

lol

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

the Will Smith track “Wild Wild West” just came on the radio and: 1) it was weird that for several years whenever Will made a tentpole movie he also rapped about it in partial character 2) we should make more actors do this

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

New episode with Jake and Julia from @thenewlimits.bsky.social . We discuss the band’s history, new music, recording, the Boston ska scene and so much more. Now available! #ska open.spotify.com/episode/6qA6...

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

whatever they do i hope that they at least don't do the dumb "there was no real big balls, it was just an allegory used for the vulgarity of the period" thing

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

Look, I love all our local political reporters ... honestly anybody who comes across the river is good by me. But also I think maybe that more reporters covered our cat mayor election than our real one, and that's maybe an issue, right? Right? www.instagram.com/reel/DOoPNic...

I mean, given an unused rail right of way beneath one of the most densely populated parts of the city, I would use it for rail, not TED talks.

It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/
