Delaying street-safety projects costs lives, most recently on Thursday in Roxbury Crossing. mass.streetsblog.org/2026/07/10/l... We don't need perfect consensus on safety infrastructure, we need action. If you agree, please sign the open letter to Mayor Wu: benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en...

#Dorchester needs 5000+ more apartments, to rent or buy, for all the people who want to call it home and be our neighbors. This foolish desire to preserve everything in amber doesn't even acknowledge the statewide housing shortage -- it's displacing people NOW and inevitably will tank our economy.

High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

I think about this constantly
Tweet from user Jason C: 
“I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.”

Quote from user Max Dubler:

“That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer dance parties”

At the risk of sounding corny, hope really is a practice. I’m as much of a cynical depresso as the next person. The reason why I find doomerism so toxic is that it forecloses the possibility of a better future. The devils want us to fall into despair.

you know if the industrial revolution had arrived 300 years later it would have meant shortened and immiserated lives for easily hundreds of millions of people, but they wouldn't have even realized it. wouldn't have known there was a better future they could have had. stolen progress is invisible.

I've seen speculation that the intended add was Trade Chief Jamieson Greer. For whoever it was, is anyone articulating the angle that he was kept out of the loop of the PC entirely, if it was all done on Signal? Nice to be left off the crime-ing, but he might have needed some of that info.

Ken represents everything I personally know and love about Boston. The politics can be complicated, it’s definitely not all sweetness and light in Southie and Dorchester - but ultimately it remains a radical city. It’s still the place with the closest affinity to the ‘auld sod.
