Crazy that Boston can’t make this happen for Newbury Street. The demand is there but there’s always a lame excuse why not.

We can do better than over-generalization. Let that be for the right.

Also, I agree with you on 99% of stuff and hearing “fuck your nuance” from you is really disappointing

They’re not a monolith, but who has time for nuance when the torches and pitchforks are out? /s

Got to my Boston MBTA orange line stop thinking maintenance was over and nope, one more day. Whose idea was it to END on a Monday? At least I’m getting my inbox cleared out while riding the shuttle.

There's a big difference between one-shotting something with AI and spending hours/days/weeks refining it with AI, but that's a nuance that's lost on most. The work matters.

I wish they’d do a “magic 1994” thing for arena, which would be close

Gonna briefly do an AI take: it used to be possible to have interesting discussions about AI here, and it's got progressively less so. You can't just think AI is bad, or overhyped, you've also got to subscribe to a very particular worst-case scenario about *how* it's bad and how bad it is.

I can’t express how disappointed I am in John Fetterman. I was so excited when he was first elected to the Senate, but he’s now been reduced to this.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

"Even if you produce more oil than you consume, you still pay the same global price for oil everyone else pays & thus still suffer from supply constrictions & high prices." This basic, elementary fact -- global energy markets 101 -- refutes basically the entire GOP energy policy & worldview.

We need more moral leadership in this country, and less political leadership. I don't mean preachers. I mean people who serve as a quiet example in our everyday lives, of what doing the right thing looks like.

The sound in certain parts of the stands is AWFUL. Zero bass. Especially if you're underneath an overhang, it almost might not be worth it.

The succession fight is going to be nasty; keeping this info secret (and in turn keeping alive the twisted fantasy that Trump will run in 2028) prevents it from starting up for real.

I agree, but I'm trying to come up with exactly *why* and I'm really having trouble putting my finger on it. STP's sound was more innovative, and PJ was/is more a product of its era, but that's still not entirely it.

Every time they release more Epstein files, it’s like “oh, THAT’s why they didn’t want to release them.”

This is one of my favorite charts because the obvious implication is ... obvious, but you absolutely are not allowed to say it out loud in US public discourse.

I just gave my 20yo a rundown of the day's news, and he said, "It's all so dumb, it's hard to take seriously and so it's hard to fight. We'd be better at fighting smarter authoritarians!" "We'd be better at fighting smarter authoritarians" is going to stick with me.

Perhaps the reason for the most hope is that the public seems to be rejecting the Republican news environment prevalent across virtually all media. Voters aren't falling for it, as overwhelming as it has felt to watch our institutions fall. They can handle the truth!

Sometimes MA Dems temporarily unregister to make strategic votes in the GOP primary, especially when the Dem primary is a foregone conclusion. Not a fan of Kraft, but let's be fair here.
