In the spirit of being Easter Monday and that 110 years ago the Easter Rising started I'm posting sharing this link revival2revolution.omeka.net

“Irish Republic” flag raised above the General Post Office with Nelson’s pillar in background.
Nearly 110 years ago on Easter Monday, April 24 1916, a group of rebels, men and women, stood up and proclaimed the Irish Replubic.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

Feel free. If it helps get the MBTA more money to fix things and improved the system, then go to it!

The T has its problems but Phil Eng has been working miracles in how much it has improved over the last couple years.

I thought I heard the dolphins say “So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

Kind of hoping they would beam those of us more evolved off of this rock.

Specially if it helps the MBTA get more funding. Eng has been doing a great job. The system is substantially better.

Go for it. To be clear I didn’t get hit with it. An MBTA employee was there as well and was already starting to clean up. But the clearly visible rebar shouldn’t be too hard to spot. This was close to the Park st end of the tunnel.

When does the @mbta start handing out hard hats? A nice chunk of ceiling fell in the tunnel between Park st and Downtown Crossing. Nothing like the ones that have come down in Harvard Sq station but it was still enough to have caused some decent damage to one’s head.

Boston No Kings! won't be your average protest.

Yes, we’ll have speakers-but also live music, theater & art, & more than 30 resistance groups ready to turn your outrage into action.

Peaceful? Yup. Passive? Never. Join us!

@mbta.com assuming if this were a real fire or emergency trains wouldn’t be running and people we be told to get out of the station?

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

A little throw back to June of 2022. BU was finishing up on the Duan Family Center for Computing & Data Sciences
Building. It is a pretty cool addition to Boston’s skyline.

Boston’s completed South Station tower. It’s also the major train interchange in the greater Boston area.. The same one the feds were threatening to take over.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

More architecture in the MIT area. So many new buildings sitting next to old buildings makes for a nice contrast.

Saw this at Bass Harbor Head Light at Acadia National Park. Thought it would be funny to text “let’s meet a thunder hole” with a pic of an anus.
