"Why is it so hot" he cries to the heavens, before taking a swig of coffee

A generic looking white guy looking constipated toward the camera, with a mostly sepia photo of Donald Trump looming supportively overhead.
The same photo, but now with words that make it seem like the generic guy doesn't like Trump written next to the photos.

Ole Bobby Newport's mailer has big Schrodinger's fascist energy. Words? I'm opposed to him! Just the pictures? He's with me!

A map of Cambridgeport, with blue bike stations marked by pins. However, almost all non-road land is colored blue, as it would be if it were water.
Massive flooding across Cambridge, if you believe the Blue Bikes map at least...

Ozzy, Hulk Hogan, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner all in the same week seems like a targeted attack on Gen X.

It looks like the new update to mstdn.social means that Quote Toots now show the quoted toot, which will make following Blue Sky folks a lot easier!

Maybe there will be a day when I'll trust a space in a filename, but that day is not today.

It's not just your kids who found it hard

The departures board at South Station, with most upcoming and should have departed trains listed as "delayed"
The heat wave sure must make Keolis afraid
As South Station departures are all delayed

Weather bug on a cell phone home screen showing a current temperature of 106 degrees.
Not as hot as I've ever existed in, but might take the crown limiting myself to north of the Mason-Dixon Line... #Boston

It is currently 100 degrees out and I'm finding myself thinking that Fahrenheit has it right on this one. Any more degrees are too many degrees. #BostonWX #HeatAdvisory

There is exactly one room in the domicile that is air conditioned, and leaving the safety of that room for others is terribly exhausting. #HeatWave2025 #HeatWave

The front of a high speed train, with a sleek aerodynamic nose cone leading to a long set of rail cars. It is at station, and is styled in white and dark blue with red accents. Two tracks behind it is an older looking train of a comparable but more antiquated vintage.
Confirmed sighting of the new #Amtrak #Acela trainsets in #Boston. There's still plastic wrap on the seats, and the old Acela in the background is the one running service today, but by God we might have the #AveliaLiberty running service soon enough!

Screenshot of the title and lede for the Wikipedia page on Virginia Dare. The lede reads: "Virginia Dare (born August 18, 1587; presumed dead) was the first English child born in an American English colony."
Wikipedia, in its strict adherence to citable facts, is meticulous enough to not assume the 400 year-old Virginia Dare has since passed.

Moustachioed man with a red bike helmet and sunglasses standing in front of Boston City Hall among a crowd of people and bikes.
#BikeToWorkDay festival this morning in #Boston. Lots of folks out enjoying the nice weather and the company (even if they, like me, added a few miles to their commute by coming downtown).
