This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

Happy to see that World Cup coverage is carrying on NFL precedent of showing lots of images of Boston during TV coverage of games in Foxborough. We must uphold the pretense that the North End Paul Revere statue is right down the block from Gillette Stadium.

All of New England just offering to bring napkins and plates.

Just 1% of Firefox users have flipped the no-AI switch. How much of this is an awareness problem? Or is this something that doesn’t move the needle for folks? www.cnet.com/tech/service...

KNICKS IN FIVE KNICKS PRIDE BROOKLYN

I have come to really appreciate our local sticker scene - so here’s a thread of some of my favorites. First up, of course, is the O.G: ‘Cash for your Warhol.’ 1/?

Only a bollard is brave enough to stop a burning runway car. WE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. #WorldBollardAssociation 🇮🇳

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

Can't afford groceries? Well eat less then

We’ve got one of these in our neighbourhood, and bloody hell, I had no idea they could make so much money. I am not tempted to buy cake out of a shed down the road, I have to say.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

god I wish Ed Markey were not 79 years old but he is absolutely still the superior choice to Seth fucking Moulton

A relaxing rainy Saturday.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

I love that Bluesky is now big enough in some places that you can search your feed when you're confused about that strange loud noise you just heard!

Every year my husband takes my son to the thrift store and lets him pick whatever he thinks I need for Mother’s Day, which this year is a straw hat and book of sea shanties

This is what plotting murder looks like in my house.

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Happy 413 Day! There’s no place like Western Massachusetts, and I am grateful to partner with the people and institutions that make it special.

to me the pitt is a love letter to new york city – a town it lovingly accepts, warts and all. in a sense, new york is almost the show's main character

This house in Boston had a fire two years ago and just went on the market for $776,000 in case anyone is wondering what real estate is like here...
