Dude Process

I’m generally not the type that thinks zoning reform is the solution to everything but if Massachusetts made it so any area zoned for residence had to allow these kinds of triple deckers by right it would be make me personally happy and could yield a number of positive outcomes

Some terrifically maintained New England Triple Deckers a block over from me

I do not believe the democrats attempt to gerrymander is going to work because 1) it is way easier to cut a map to disenfranchise dense pockets of minority populations than huge swaths of reactionary sprawl and 2) there are states with big dem majorities and it their statehouses are still half bozo

i dunno man this seems insanely untrue to me? unless we are operating on entirely incompatible definitions of at least a few of the words in this claim

In the early 2000s Cracker Barrel had to settle a racial discrimination lawsuit because they were allowing staff to refuse to serve Black people.

Before you worry about the state of democracy, have you checked how much water you’ve had today? Because it may just be dehydration.

People don’t realize how much of the American economy is held up by Mets and Red Sox fans feeling mostly neutral towards each other. Yankees and Phillies fans too to a certain extent. I will not explain further.

Are theoretically some noodles that have not touched the meat sauce? Probably. Could some of them be cleaned off? I guess. But everything in this bowl was clearly done with the intention of making a pasta bolognese. At some point you gotta reckon with just making a new dish.

The liberal insistence on the viability of “restoring America” as a goal feels like if you had a big bowl of spaghetti bolognese and I insisted I could turn it into a vegan friendly pasta dish.

Saturday Night Live doesn’t have enough material to be on tv every week, and they are not restrained by all the bits having to be baseball-adjacent

I am confident the Savannah Bananas do not have enough material to be on TV every week

Don’t really know him, but the AEW cocktail feels pretty well proportioned right now I’m inclined against anything that might upset it

I do not think the WNBA realizes how much goodwill they’re about to fuck up with this

Ladies here are some books that if they are on your boyfriends bookshelf it is 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

1. How To Commit Murder - not sure if this book exists or if I just made it up, but if it does and he has it 👀👀👀👀

One of the most confusingly big accounts on the old app. Not insightful, not funny, not attractive, below replacement level posts. Zero tool player. And yet somehow always getting rted

Telling the bus drivers that I drove a U-Haul yesterday. They don’t have to know it was just the cargo van. I am making connections in the siblinghood of transit

Thank you!

Okay so the thing I’ve been vague posting about is that I won an affordable housing lottery and now my wife and I own a brand new condo in Brighton!

It’s a huge blessing and I share this not to brag but to say I want to be a resource for anyone in Massachusetts who has questions about IZ lotteries.

How much do you get for a regular win?How much did Richochet get earlier tonight? I feel like I need a baseline to know how excited I should be

I am also one of those people with a big record collection I never listen to, but because my collection is mostly dollar bin or less records that I bought just to preserve something that seems unbelievable. Here’s an example:

Looking through things for my move and once again reminded of when in 2016 I wrote Charlie Baker a letter telling him to stop fucking up the MBTA and two years later he wrote me back congratulating me, a 28 year old man, on becoming an Eagle Scout

And also tragedy as dozens die because Jeopardy was preempted. Damn you Patriots All Access!

This could have profound public health implications and also could be embraced by 20somethings who want to wait until after jeopardy to start going wild

Getting sick on the Friday before I’m supposed to pack/move… not a fan. Wouldn’t recommend

The theme song also unfortunately rips

The heartbreaking thing about the show COPS is that a lot of the stuff around the edges works. Shirtless guys trying to run from stuff. Drunk people trying to do a convincing sober person. They just have the worst choice of main characters.

Can’t stop thinking about this and how detached from reality everyone has gotten and have been encouraged to get.

You have major media supporting fascism on the grounds the crime rate is “not zero”

This has gotta be the same type of juice they use to get their books on the best seller lists, right?

Historically whenever you criticized America some liberal would show up and point that you had a right to to say what you are saying, and I hope they’ve figured out by now that’s not out of some sense of morality but simply having the mechanisms in place to render any popular dissent meaningless.
