Reminder to folks that you can get anything you want at The Map Center, even 8x10 glossy prints with a washable finish so you can draw circles and arrows on them, wipe them clean and reuse them. No need to send them to the landfill! Also, we will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Our neighbors appear to have their Christmas tree up already. Thinking about reporting them to 311. If nothing else, I'd probably get a post on @universalhub.com

Great to see that Frank Baker lost to Henry Santana by a large margin. He was closer to coming in last than he was to getting a spot on the council. Now all 4 incumbents have to serve out their full terms, so we don't have another Althea Garrison situation. #BosPoli

Love that the Globe refers to @roadsteamer.bsky.social in his "Planned Parenthood Pony" character as "the pony." “Trump was on the Jeffrey Epstein plane,” the pony sang to the tune of the Village People song “Y.M.C.A.”

Josh Kraft has run the most unlikable campaign for mayor in Boston history. Why is he still in the race? - The Boston Globe
Besides being uncompetitive, this campaign has been a huge letdown in other ways.

The good news for Josh Kraft is that the narrowed general election field opens the door for him to lose by less than 45 points! #bospoli

It occurs to me that if either the Wu or Kraft campaign had internal polling showing a closer race than public polls have shown, they would leak it. #bospoli

Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

NY doesn’t allow dispensaries within 500 ft. of schools. They changed how they measure and now dispensaries they approved are illegal. Doubly dumb because the only difference between buying at a dispensary vs. a school is that dispensaries check IDs.

Nothing says “Our guy will stand up to Trump” like a photo of your guy looking terrified that the giant Trump behind him is going to eat him alive. Which he would, at least figuratively.
