Decided to jump on the @umassalumni.bsky.social bus trip for today's game to save myself the normal 5 hours of driving, so my regular tickets (upper section U) and parking pass (lot 25) are up for grabs for tonight's game against Northeastern. Free to a good home (read: a UMass fan).

Honestly, same.

JP Peeps! Trivia WILL be happening at the Haven tonight, so come by at 7 PM if you can safely walk there. As always, reservations appreciated.

Looking for somebody who needs my second ticket to tomorrow night's UMass Hockey game against Merrimack at Mullins. Free to a good home (read: a UMass fan).

New drip for the second half of the season. 😍

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

I got it correct, but this @learnedleague.com question is... just wrong! "Ira" is "rage." The missing word is "madness."

To answer your question, @stabert.bsky.social: tonic is definitely a thing. In my experience, it's HYPER local. Like, really only people from Boston itself. Doesn't extend to the rest of New England. My mom (occasionally) and aunts (consistently), who grew up in Mission Hill, all call it tonic.

Boston peeps: I have a single ticket for tonight's performance of Fun Home at the Huntington Theatre tonight that I unfortunately won't be able to use. Free to a good home if anybody wants to see a good production of a great show last minute!

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...

After a 1 week hiatus, we're back as usual with trivia at The Haven tonight in JP! See you all at 7!

This is absolutely 100% correct. You only forgive Nazi tattoos and “Jews control the weather” rhetoric if you never really cared that much about them in the first place and are pretty much only concerned for your own personal safety. bsky.app/profile/mega...

Every single one of these people has come into the mentions of a Jew terrified about their safety and promised they’d protect them. And then then went off and said “oh don’t make such a big deal about Nazi tattoos and a violent Jew-hating coup-organizing monster you’re overreacting”

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

Here's hoping that whoever @mayorwu.boston.gov taps to replace @jfh01.bsky.social continues the great work they've done in the last 4 years to make Boston's streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists. 🤞

I've got 1 spare ticket to tomorrow night's UMass Hockey game against Maine at the Mullins Center. Let me know if you want it.

Surprised to hear @stabert.bsky.social claim that the South End is "impossible to get to" from Cambridge... the 1 bus goes straight there! Don't tell me you're a no bus person.

Just a reminder, there is NO TRIVIA at The Haven tonight due to a (sold out) whiskey tasting event. Back as normal next Monday at 7, so see you all then!

I've got a pair of extra tickets to tonight's UMass Hockey game. Free to UMass fans who will cheer loudly. Hit me up if you want them.

TIL (because I forgot to take them out of my backpack) that these are TSA legal. But better not bring a full size toothpaste! I feel safer already.

Whole lot of insufferable white people showing what kind of socialism they believe in and it’s national socialism

Guys, no candidate is perfect... we should just ignore all these enormous red flags because we think he communicates effectively about economic policy. Remember how well that worked out last time?

This. Plenty of other fish in the sea... throw this one overboard.

sorry I couldn’t find a version of this meme where both of the arms are white

You also can’t fight Nazis w/ “progressives” who have Nazi tats. If you try to do that, people will just say “why is it ok for YOUR guy to display Nazi symbols on his body then” and they will have an entirely valid point. What the fuck are we doing here I’m so sick of guys like this

Because this week's eps of their respective podcasts popped back to back in my feed, I couldn't help but think how much @stabert.bsky.social would appreciate @hodgman.bsky.social's musings on Philadelphia on this week's episode of E Pluribus Motto. maximumfun.org/episodes/e-p...

Hey, #UMass peeps! I'm looking for 3 additional tickets (and, ideally, club passes) to Friday night's game against Northeastern. Happy to trade 1 for 1 for future games, as I have two tickets but typically only use 1. Let me know if you can help me out.

Connections knows what day it is. Come play trivia at The Haven in JP tonight at 7PM!

FYI, @stabert.bsky.social, the "guy hiking the football" is Pat Patriot. And the "modern, more geometric" patriot is generally known as the Flying Elvis. 😂

It was at this moment he knew... these people will get me killed

Interesting experiment: Jeannie Johnston is doing happy hour #trivia at 4:30 on Fridays. Really good option for school teachers and others who are big nerds but can't make it out to bars late at night!

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Mildly surprised that you weren't familiar with Cookie Monstah already, @stabert.bsky.social... Surely you've seen this truck around town in your time here? Maybe just didn't make the connection in the moment. 🤷

We need community notes here to clarify that in fact Michelle Wu ended his campaign

Sounding like some major swatting going on at UMass Boston: Several calls/reports of gunfire, students cowering in a Science Center classroom, gunshots at the campus Dunks, BC High. So far no victims, no evidence of gunfire. BC High was put in lockdown, but again, no gunfire or anything there.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

😍

What better way to end your weekend than trivia at The Haven? Come on down and prove how smart you are!

As somebody who grew up one town over in Melrose (and whose sister skated at Stoneham Arena), hard disagree with @stabert.bsky.social's guest classifying Stoneham as "Metro West." You can debate how close something needs to be to water to be called "North Shore" but it's DEFINITELY not Metro West.

Early voting begins on Saturday. The Boston Globe, Boston’s paper of record, has never once put Josh Kraft on record with his views on climate change. Kraft’s *extraordinarily* poor performance below isn’t an anomaly, he repeated these priorities in multiple debates. Receipts available.

Hope there's a round of revisions for finalists. None of the patterns nail it. This one is close, but needs to simplify. They should: 1. Cut the border pattern at the bottom 2. Cut the star... or at least move it so it's not overlapped by the lighthouse aura... but just cut it, tbh. Love the motto.

Today's Wordle is one for the @learnedleague.com players. #IYKYK Wordle 1,523 3/6* 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I put a lot of work into this. I would be so happy if you would read and share: Why moving to the center won't save democrats: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/moderation...

Arriving soon: a more frequent T, extended weekend service, and a month of fare-free T across all lines on weekend nights! Plus buses arriving every 15 minutes for some of our most popular routes, including the always-free 23 & 28 bus 🙌

Why is there a pear statue in Edward Everett Square, @stabert.bsky.social? To celebrate local cultivars! That's a Clapp Pear, which was developed in Dorchester. www.wgbh.org/lifestyle/20...

Investigating my options for city councilor at-large... No wonder the only sign supporting this guy in my neighborhood is at a fucking gas station.

Looks like I'll be covering Trivia at Rocco's in the North End tonight at 7:30. Come on by if you're around.
