Married with children in an outer neighborhood of the city on the terminus of a transit line with mixed density housing. It's a situation where a car helps going *away* from downtown, and driving *into* downtown is an act of utter foolishness/masochism.

Anyway, can I get some cool Japanese transit?

Do you even hear yourselves?

The oligarch elevation of our dumbest and most gullible comedians into “trusted news sources” while also poisoning legacy news organizations is a real 1-2 punch.

To be clear those guys are all idiots and the fact that people get their news from comedians who are trying to get a laugh and don't care about a single fucking detail of anything beyond that is very bad

As ICE ramps up activity in Mass., this group bears witness Activists connected through an immigrant advocacy group called LUCE are documenting arrests throughout the state. The "ICE watchers" record the names of those detained to make sure they’re accounted f...

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

Sinners is excellent, and I think One Battle is still quite good despite some *glaring* flaws. Both have so much craftsmanship in the photography and direction, both are quite timely, and both have a featured actor steal the show (Lindo/del Toro).

But yeah, PTA-mania has taken hold I think.

Survey says Wu should do more to bring down Boston’s sky-high rents - The Boston Globe A poll by a state housing advocacy group found that most Bostonians want the city to move more aggressively to build more and rein in housing costs.

I used to work there for 3 weeks every September. What a beautiful spot to welcome in Fall.

Yes the convention voted 186-168 but only after it agreed to submit 9 amendments, including a bill of rights. Without them it would have failed to pass.

(You’ll forgive me, I’m no expert. I just finished Jill Lepore’s new US Constitution history).

What a catch by the camera operator and director in the truck.

Obviously there are plenty of powerful contenders for all-time worst Supreme Court opinion, lots of them from the Roberts Court, many of them this year, but in terms of how much of the opinion was proven how wrong how fast, Kavanaugh and his Kavanaugh Stops are really in rarefied territory

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

Hey Mass folks, I hate that this resource needs to exist, but it literally just came in handy.

You may know about LUCE from their ICE Watch Hotline (617-370-5023), but they also have a really comprehensive collection of other resources for immigrants at risk of ICE action. Maybe bookmark the link?

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

In March 2020, Dakich responded to the firing of Scottsburg (IN) High School basketball coach Brent Jameson by "calling a player a 'methhead', ', urging listeners to go 'take a dump' in Scottsburg and threatening, 'I may just drive down there and beat the hell out of every school board member.'" He also called Scottsburg "a town full of 'meth and AIDS and needles'". Dakich responded by saying, "Tone is important people... Sometimes you can't get tone out of newspaper articles and things. Sometimes what's funny when said or trying to be funny doesn't come across."

“Tone is important, people…”

Just finished Jill Lepore’s new book and I would pay to see a back and forth discussion between her and @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social on the farce of Originalism and its impact on a 250 year old country.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

I liked Israel’s Defector piece but I’m very happy you wrote this one that elaborated on the many nameless characters quietly refusing to bow to the reality forced upon them.

I have some family that lives right around here. There's an elementary school just around the corner.

Yep. One and ONLY bike crash I've had after biking in this city for 20+ years (🤞) cause by a broken flex post base that was out of peripheral vision.

Make drivers afraid to damage their cars, don't encourage them to just straddle a zebra bump.

@jfh01.bsky.social The cast in place concrete is the right way to go.

The only people I could imagine are in favor of the zebra bumps are delivery drivers and wrist surgeons.

I’ve crashed once before hitting the base of a flex post with no post, these are far less visible.

Bid to Renew Federal Grant Sparks Concern Boston May Help Trump’s DHS on Immigration The grant helps fund a law enforcement center that’s drawn criticism over privacy and over data-sharing with ICE. It would also come with new strings to spend money on border control.

Boston is applying for a federal grant to fund a program that has consistently drawn concerns about privacy rights; it manages the controversial gang database, keeps tabs on politics-related social media activity, and routinely surveils protesters.

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you

That is not, in fact, what ICE does

He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine
