The point of this effort by Councillor Zusy is to kill all green multifamily inclusionary homes, which would increase Cambridge’s carbon emissions and send rents through the roof.

It’s true! @devonjackson.bsky.social also witnessed the Fox of Islington

I think @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social saw one of those foxes on a recent trip to London, and then we saw a seal in the Thames in the middle of London last month. Too small to get a decent picture though. It's like "I swear, that little tiny blob in the water was a seal head."

We have always had corruption in America but right know the whole country is being operated like a criminal enterprise, including kickbacks to the mob boss from universities, the media, law firms and now tech companies.

Yep. As a lawyer, AI tools are very good at speeding up very onerous lawyering tasks. It can absolutely make a good lawyer more efficient. It will not make a law school graduate into a good lawyer - it’s no substitute for critical thinking, attention to detail, or problem solving skills.

Healey signs bill expanding reproductive, transgender care protections - The Boston Globe “No one is going to come to Massachusetts and attack our people, attack our institutions, attack our providers because we believe in freedom,” Healey said.

Massachusetts is not perfect, but on days like today this place makes me really proud.

Exactly. Thinking in good/bad binary about AI is so dangerous especially while we still are getting our heads around the tech. It’s complex and complicated - and we shouldn’t be rushing to implement it in classrooms, or for that matter, to ban it — until we have a better grasp of it.

Important thread from a great advocate for housing in Cambridge

Search process for a superintendent stumbled onto a candidate who'd stumbled even harder - Cambridge Day Facing continued criticism even from within its own ranks for a superintendent search process that has seemed secretive and scattered, School Committee members moved Tuesday toward releasing more info...

In answer to those basic questions about the process itself, not requests for personal details or anything, this is the response from the mayor, Cambridge Day reports: “There could be no answer, Simmons said, because members of the selection panel needed to respect the integrity of the process.”

Arjun for Cambridge A more transparent, accountable, and equitable Cambridge.

And apparently there’s more to come on this story. But in the meantime I’ll note that crap like this is why @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social is running for Cambridge School Committee. And it’s why transparency, which can maybe sound generic, is one of the things he talks about most.

Went down to support @local26-unitehere.bsky.social and walk their picket line amid the rain. Aramark workers deserve a living wage!

If you want to support, you can still attend and enjoy the games: just don’t buy food or drink in the park. You can bring food in (or pregame)!

To my friends & followers, from what I've read UNITE-HERE Local #26 is saying boycott concessions. They consider that to be the picket line.

They are not asking you to boycott the Red Sox or Fenway Park.

Go to the game. Don't buy food & drinks from scabs.

Walk the line with any picketers.

Looks very similar to attacks on Black scholars.

*Rufo and Times boost the story, giving it legitimacy
*Complainant turns out to be a eugenicist! Congrats everyone!

A reporter teaming up with and granting anonymity to a race science guy who had hacked admissions data isn’t against the rules at the NYTimes but criticizing that reporter is.

Fascinating.

The New York Times is not beating the allegations.

Uncritically accepting hacked information from a white supremacist, whitewashing his academic credentials, using it to run a baseless hit piece on a Democratic politician.

Must be a day ending in Y.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

A Trans Pilot Was Falsely Blamed for a Plane Crash. Now She’s Fighting the Right-Wing Disinfo Machine National Guard pilot Jo Ellis is suing a right-wing influencer for falsely blaming her for a DC crash that killed 67 people. A WIRED review reveals 12 similar incidents of scapegoating trans people.

Spreading misinformation about trans people being responsible for bad things happening is a great way to reinforce transphobic feedback loops and that's exactly why the right loves doing it.

it is unfortunate that extremely dumb people elected a government that is going to ruin their lives. we tried to stop them but they refused to listen, again. only hope is the ones that survive learn something from the experience

day ending in Y is it?

Remember when they used to pretend they were only against "illegal immigration"?

You’re 46 until you’re 47, Keith. That’s how that works.

People saying this should be a yellow card but I’m trying to figure why it’s not red

Some fans have been clear since day one on this

trump's people using ms paint to put "MS13" in typed letters on abrego garcia's knuckles is perhaps the stupidest lie they've ever attempted

I don’t think the 250th celebrations in 2026 are going to go the way Trump wants them to go. He’s Streisand Effect-ing the basics of American history.

Northwestern University to self-fund research despite Trump administration freeze While university officials said they’ve still not received official word of such action, they acknowledged receiving about 100 stop-work orders from the federal government on roughly 100 fede…

Northwestern just announced that the university will meet the funding needs of any research that is being impacted by stop orders. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #edusky #academicsky
