I don't know that I've encountered a more inviting aroma than the Brueggers Bagels in Harvard Square circa 1993
I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️
I'm out here just trying to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day when all of a sudden I'm murdered for being "the most annoying person on the planet." Freedom isn't free
Man Imagine if they'd remade Turner and Hooch With Philip Seymour Hoffman in the Tom Hanks role (That's Turner, the one who's not a dog) PSH would have crushed that
All these fuckin AI dorks read about Roko's basilisk and said welp better fuck up the planet and all of humanity so the computer I made up in my head doesn't get mad at me
Glad to see the city making some effort to get housing built....
Bill Forry@billforry.bsky.social · 2w agoOnly two new market-rate housing projects with more than 100 units were built in 2025 —and none of that size has moved forward at all so far in 2026. This new tax initiative is aimed at interrupting that trend.
This is really it. You get kind of rich and know the really rich have something you still don’t have access to. The dead dog cum serum that makes you young again. The end.
Luke O'Neil@lukeoneil47.bsky.social · 3w agoPoor people know something is being kept from them: adequate medical care. Kind of rich people imagine something is being kept from them: roadkill dog cum elixir.
I monitor an email account that receives these kinds of emails weekly

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.
Only good thing about the Lindsay Clancy trial is all the TikTok detectives and lawyers referring to "the Commonwealth"
Watched "Here." It got me. Too much weird Zemeckis CGI shit, but it had heart
Repaving Dot Ave, and bike lane is very clearly marked, but wish Boston would just figure out what cities around the world have and put bike lane next to the curb, then street parking, then traffic lane. Protected bike lane for just the cost of some paint
"come to Story Land: one of the most magical places in...in this area"

All I know about Andrew Carnegie is that he paid for thousands of libraries to be built. He was probably a huge piece of shit, but I only know about the libraries. Musk and the current billionaires will just be remembered for hastening our country's decline
Chad Finn@chadfinn.bsky.social · last mo.You’d think more people with means would want to do the sorts of things that make you beloved forever.
New botanica on Dudley St outside Nubian. How many people in Boston are practicing Santeria? And do they have crystal balls? And what would they do if they had a million dollars?
Had a dream where I couldn't remember the name of the big Italian chain restaurant, the one that's not Olive Garden, the one that has Ben Stiller in all their ads, and no one in the dream knew what the fuck I was talking about, only to wake up and realize that was some dream nonsense
don't have enough money to buy ham so i wrent ham
Don’t tell me what my children need. A mother knows that. . .
Needham, Massachusetts? No, you WANT ham, Massachusetts.
In 2014, Stephen Lynch fought against replacing a single-family home in South Boston with 8 homes over parking concerns, even though it provided 14 parking spaces. Massachusetts has a housing crisis. We need leaders fighting for housing, not politicians fighting to block it.
Great to see Mayor Wu, Sen. Edwards and Latoya Gayle today in Titus Sparrow Park, for Ward 4 Dems ice cream social. Three women I have incredible respect and admiration for. 🙏🏼 Had to give @jonathancohn.bsky.social a hug. That guy loves his work, always leading w/ kindness, building a better world.
We need consumer protection from restaurants that refill Heinz bottles with off-brand ketchup
Seems like something our Democratic-trifecta state government should try to do something about
Jonathan Berk 🏠@berkie1.bsky.social · 2mo agoNearly 45% of Massachusetts voters say the cost and availability of housing is their top issue heading into the September 1 primaries.
*sighs as I exit the time machine* I'm here to stop a children's book.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2mo agoHarry Potter fans force relocation of £430m undersea cable to avoid Dobby’s ‘grave’
I don't often get too excited about a salad, but the M Street Beach from Bardo's in Castle Island Brewery in South Boston is so good
listened to Save Ferris with my five year old the other day. Saxophone solo on "The World Is New" gotta be one of the most embarrassing saxophone solos on a major label recording. I say this as someone who played many embarrassing saxophone solos, thankfully none included on a major label release
If you cut me off while I’m in a crosswalk and I’m close enough to touch your car, you better believe I’m slapping it. This is queen sh** from Boston City Councilor Durkan. 🔥🔥🔥
