#Boston who else remembers the local sitcom "Park Street Under," which was loosely a basis for "Cheers?" I remember there was an MBTA bus driver always in T uniform, analogous to Cliff Claven in his USPS uniform. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_St...

(T) means my way home. Walked from the local station ~1mi because the last bus wasn't for 25 minutes and I walked home in 20m. Also, we're about one generation from nobody knowing why Lechmere Station is so named (no I didn't take that bus, it just happened to be there at the moment).

"Hey Féla" the first song I ever heard by Master sound. Late night on a Shoutcast station from Europe (probably Germany) on WinAmp. Probably was 2005. #MusicSky #Funk #Afrobeat #Live

Dogfish Head 60-minute IPA on draft 👍🍺

British band, British ish style. Should've added a scarf.

Of course the one in a handful of days a year I take the train. At least not all the way to JFK/UMass.

Hmmm think I'll wear the Blues Bros adjacent hat (if it's not too dusty) rather than the typical South Boston Irish hat (I don't know names for all the kinds of hats).

I remember when Akamai did this to me with the fourth horseman in the aughts.

I bet I haven't been "north" of Charles Street on the Red Line since 2017.

Having a couple of head-start, cheap drinks at home before I head to the bus in about an hour. Going to pack a bowl, too. Already planning to order a chicken parm sub delivered after I get home at 11:00pm or so. Trimmed beard but didn't trim hair since I'm going to wear a hat.

As I predicted months ago, it's a chilly (even for November) night for concert-going. The theater is nearer the T than I remembered. Very little wind, so I don't think thermals will be needed. Wool coat, hat, & socks. And my ticket specifically says "Standard Ticket" so I don't expect an issue.

Testicular cancer is a killer; check yourself *and then talk to a doctor* about any sus textural changes. Testicular cancer tumors might feel like a tiny grain or tiny grains of sand under your skin. Easy to miss, if you don't check.

This absolute jackass

It is truly fascinating. They didn’t know how to do anything 🫠

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

This is one of the few good things Romney did for non-rich MA folks while he was in office.

Because calling the president of the United States a felon is worse than the president of the United States being a felon.

📺On November 17, 1973, 'Schoolhouse Rock's' 'Conjunction Junction' first aired on ABC #Flashback #MondayMotivation

Looks like the lady in line ahead of me at Albertsons is having a day:

Wild and awful but not a shocker. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Oldest Nephew (15) asked me if I'd seen THE BIG LEBOWSKI and I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and asked, "No what the Hell is that?" and had him explain the whole movie to me. Then I said "Oh! Oh yeah. I have 4 copies of that movie." He sighed and changed topics. I'm a fantastic uncle.

😋😋😋

Sooooooo is anyone in the MSM ( especially Louisiana) going to ask Clay Higgins wtaf is wrong with him?

when polled in 2024, the average New Yorker claimed to want -less traffic -improved MTA service -no congestion pricing turns out you need congestion pricing to implement the first two!

#MusicSky #Funk #B3 🇬🇧 My go-to Mastersounds video for introduction (also one of my favorite songs of theirs, great that there's a live studio video) www.youtube.com/watch?v=u083...

Seeing some reddit posts that I may get hassled with this wheelchair-accessible "seat." Hope not. I mean, worst case, I'll go to standing room at the back, I don't think many venues police people leaning on the rail. If I actually don't see the show, I will challenge the credit card charge.

A reminder that Bob Woodward sat on this information for months so it could go in his book.

This is why Black women have trust issues with Hospitals. Because if babies matter why turn her away and tell her to come back later. Or are we saying Black babies only matter when the mother is in a coma.

OK looks like I got a wheelchair seat. SMH with two days left I was too in a hurry last night to grab a ticket. Guess I'll be sitting on the floor unless everyone's standing. Hope I didn't rob anyone who wanted/needed a wheelchair spot. Just calling a row "WC" seems to be a convention 1/2

Where I'll be going to see The New Mastersounds final show near me tomorrow evening. I haven't been to Davis Square in forever! #Somerville Other acts I've seen there, long ago: Bela Fleck & Flecktones, Buffalo Tom, I think one other. Didn't live in the neighborhood, but may've seen a movie 1ce.

WAPO reported that FIFA will use The Kennedy Center free of charge when it takes over the arts center for the tournament’s draw event on Dec. 5 The event “will disrupt its performance schedule, forcing the relocation or postponement of several concerts A failed score for Trump and the arts💯

Oh, well isn't that nice of them.

With Black Friday fast approaching, @alexshultz.bsky.social spoke with David Weil (@profsheenalives.bsky.social) about how Amazon leans on gig workers, a profoundly anti-labor practice, for their billions of deliveries: www.hardresetmedia.com/p/how-amazon...

Doesn't look good for Paxton's lawsuits against the couple of school districts near Austin that I also saw in the news today

NEW: Meadow is a roughly one-year-old cat who will get lifesaving surgery thanks to the Massachusetts Animal Shelter Support (MASS) coalition. She came to us in September from our partner shelter Thomas J. O’Connor in Springfield. 1/

Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.

One of the greatest rock albums of all time. Every member on The Who was at their peak. Thunderous bass from John Entwistle, crashing drums from Keith Moon, powerhouse vocals from Roger Daltrey, snarling choppy guitars from Pete Townshend. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
