How a vacant Boston school was transformed into thriving housing for LGBTQ seniors An old school building in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood, once vacant and “creepy,” is now buzzing with life while teaching new lessons in community and inclusion.

Just up the road from me and could not be prouder of #HydeParkMA.

This is much better than Speaker Jeffries references to a vague violence, but it could be even more specific.

Name actual individuals who need to be held to account. It will make the general charges stick and spark an actual news cycle as reporters ask them for comments and replies. Call them out.

Kowloon, Prince Pizzeria, and the variety of vintage restaurants along Route 1

Hell yeah 826 Boston

Honestly, same.

The NYT’s objection? Being a journalist covering Trump *is* perilous. Real hard-hitting stuff.

Interesting that the first time in recent memory that @nytimes.com actually pushed back on anything being said on The Daily podcast was in conversation with @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social, the EIC of a competing news organization.

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Ah, the quiet calm of a post-SNL50 world

Agreed. I also eagerly await the hero shot from @bioreconstruct.bsky.social that matches the perspective and lighting of the original concept art.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

The first image is a tweet from kanye saying "I TURNED DOWN 3 PHOTOS THIS WEEK WITH MAKE A WISH KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS"

the second tweet is from comedy writer Bailey Moon saying, "if you put 'hey liz lemon' before anything kanye says, it instantly becomes a joke from 30 rock"

once you see it you can't unsee it.

It’s an adjustable spray head on the proverbial firehouse.

My only request is for a better presentation of Reddit home feeds, but I could probably build that in Loom.

24 hours in, and I’m fully committed to #TapestryApp.

The mute/muffle feature, as many have said, is a standout feature. I end up unmuffling most posts, but that conscious act of tapping gives me a moment to gird my mental state for whatever I’m about to read.

Insightful thread here

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Great article. The Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger has resulted in the unexpected removal of some truly unique attractions, which is very disappointing in the short term. But it also puts plots of land (often large) back in many parks. I’ll be curious to see how this pans out over the next 2-5 years.

Savvy idea! The USH Studio Tour is one of the greatest theme park attractions of all time, but the current Fast and Furious finale misses all the marks: it’s poorly acted, cheaply rendered, and even its projection is oddly dim. Total vibe killer. This would be a massive improvement.

Relevant to my earlier question about the current vibes here: this was reassuring.

Tangent: How are you feeling about Bluesky and the atmosphere here? I’ve read recent negative reviews about toxicity, but I haven’t seen it frequently in my (small) feed.

Quick question. Can we please ensure methods of whistleblowing are:
- robust and wide open?
- decentralized when possible?
- easily accessible?
- well publicized?

And to be clear, to the demographic groups who voted for Trump in clear majorities, a very hearty f*ck all y’all. Absolutely unconscionable.

A friendly reminder: The only demographic group we should pin an election result on are the tens of millions of eligible voters who willfully opt out and don’t vote. There is no acceptable excuse.
