Really gives the San Diego approach a run for it's money on "airport in your backyard"

Enjoy your stay here in Boston!

Just got a DM from Jerry. He’s OK and really feeling the love from everyone.

He had to trade posting ability for verification so he won’t be posting anymore. He understands this is better for everyone. What a sacrifice.

Good news, the MBTA is running nostalgia cars on opening day...and every other day because half the rolling stock on the red and green lines is still like 45+ years old!

This is unrealistic because you'd never really be there to open.

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

Low - Just Like Christmas YouTube video by rtenewsontwo

On our way from Stockholm,
It started to snow,
And you said it was like Christmas,
But you were wrong,
It wasn't like Christmas at all.

How ’bout some coffee? Don’t mind if I do. Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.

Post Luke O'Neil ‪@lukeoneil47.bsky.social‬ The funniest part the guy said was driving home after the game and seeing someone hopping a cemetery fence with a bottle of champagne. October 27, 2004 Across the street some kids were playing baseball which felt anachronistic in the first place and one of them socked a big dinger and they all moved instinctively and anxiously like they do when that sort of thing happens. I watched the ball arc up toward the moon which wasn’t out yet but you could tell was waiting there just backstage rehearsing its lines and I thought people that young are walking on a tightrope they aren’t even aware of yet. Not just unafraid of falling but oblivious to the existence of the chasm.

Happy October 27, 2004 to all who celebrate.

Rate Dogs & • Follow ... 2h • This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers. According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place. Do not open your door for these fucking losers.

I’ve been looking around for the most credulous mid-campaign piece about Trump’s obviously fatuous Project 2025 disavowal, and I think it might be this one from Politico. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

In case you missed it: an essential piece from Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò from earlier this week:

Hi. Do you have suggestions for how I can dress for 115F degree weather? Also has to make me feel like it's 65F, takes no effort to put together, doesn't make me stand out, but also makes me look stylish, works for weddings and pool parties, is ethically produced, and doesn't cost more than $3? Thx.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

Tufts student detained by ICE in viral video is released, thanks supporters Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk was released from ICE detention on Friday, offering brief words of thanks to supporters gathered outside the Louisiana facility.

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

Hi @jeisinger.bsky.social, long time. No, that's not what's going on. Hedge funds et al are likely selling treasuries because their risk models have blown out and they need to delever. You sell what is holding up best, so voila Treasury market strains. This is a hunger for dollars.

The point is not to punish for doing (or not doing) a given behaviour: it's to find a way to read any behaviour as a transgression against themselves and punish accordingly.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.
