This project is filling a parking lot on Mission Hill in Boston. Glad the Zoning Board of Appeals saw it as a much needed housing opportunity! Would have liked more 1-BR than studios, but w/e www.bostonplans.org/projects/dev...

"I don’t understand how people consume news" -you, apparently

'Seedy and disgusting': Davis Square residents vent frustrations at public safety meeting "Could you please do something for us," one woman said, "and stop them from shooting up outside the day care?"

"Somerville is working to move and upgrade SHC’s homeless shelter from one church to a bigger space at First Church Somerville. However, the work was halted by a lawsuit filed by residents in September."  Of fucking COURSE. NIMBYs are the worst. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

It's healthy because there's fruit!

Bet their trash governor can, though...

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

I wish I were half the activist that Kay Gallagher was.

I actually appreciate the correction! Got 'im, regardless. His crazy ass wife too, I believe... Not a huge fan of execution, but dictators? Ehhhhh

Super good guy Ceaucescu? The one whose people, not Americans, hanged him because he was such a trash monster? Yikes and a half...

Wish that were the case, but you can't sue the federal government unless it waives its sovereign immunity. Can't see that happening anytime soon...

Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

We have one of these at our office and it's borderline useless. It'd be one thing if it could toast literally any other type of bread, but nope. Real "No, Ned! Just candy!" energy.

ICE’s Training Manual for Determining Who to Terrorize “The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a federal judge’s order prohibiting government agents from making indiscriminate immigration-related stops in t...

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

I wanted to do a snarky dunk here, but this is a thing I see a lot! That speed cameras are some kind of "gotcha" for drivers. And I think asking drivers to follow the speed limit that is on giant signs is a pretty basic thing!

Bet they have no issue with speed trap alerts on Waze (which is arguably waaaaay worse) because it allows jerks to continue their reckless behavior with impunity...

Why hasn't he renamed it the Department of the Sea Fighters or something dumb as hell to appease the brocialists, yet?

Most racist...

Agree totally. A problem I find is there are plenty of great indy journalists, but obviously supporting every one with a monthly sub is unfeasible and they are all in disparate places. Any suggestions on a solve for this?

I hesitated to ask this, but for a large diverse federal system, I can see tweaks, but if someone answers with a Scandinavian one, I'll lose it.

Any new suit that gets there again will see a pretzel logic twist to allow it, I assume. Sigh...

Fantastic question!

Hacks like Weigel make it clear again and again how much this is just a fun game for them. The idea that reporters have an obligation to the truth, to call out politicians who lie instead of just smirking and saying "you're allowed to that" is beyond them.

Well, if you were a low info citizen, you'd have heard "somewhere" it's because of illegals getting healthcare. Spread by Rs on news programs with no pushback from hack "journalists" and then gets in the ether to be shared all over socials...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

I'd bet 90% of America has no idea what they pay for health care if you asked them. It's a dumb talking point.

They'd rather bitch about bus and bike lanes causing them seconds of inconvenience...

So glad I cancelled my subscription last year. What a disgrace.

I dunno. My mayor (Boston), Rep and Senator (Markey) are all Democrats. Saying great things. Maybe leadership should emulate them...that's what ppl who are fed up with them want

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.
