There's a reason why Somerville hasn't had a traffic death in 4 years. The city isn't perfect, but they've made a concerted effort to design many streets around people and not cars. You can still drive, but you're going to have to do so slowly and while paying attention.

Somerville is intentionally making roads harder to drive on. It’s getting results. - The Boston Globe
To make roads safer, the city says, sometimes you have to put some obstacles in drivers' way.

I noticed that a lot of the big donors to Q3 were major charter school donors. I appreciate this more systematic look. mauricecunningham153.substack.com/p/boston-oli...

SciAm Union @sciamunion.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
On Tuesday, Scientific American was sold by international publisher Springer Nature. Large numbers of staff were immediately laid off, and salaries of remaining workers were cut by as much as 30% SciAm staff had just voted to unionize. We should call this action what it is – blatant union-busting.
A poster titled “Scientific American Rally” invites people to a rally on tuesday june 30 at 5pm at 1 new york plaza. it says “show springer nature that science journalism and the people behind it matter!”

A @bostonglobe.com headline makes the claim that "Most Mass. voters oppose" a congestion toll in polling. But that's not accurate: Pollsters didn't ask whether voters oppose the policy. They asked “would you be willing to pay to drive downtown if there was less traffic – yes or no?” #mapoli (1/3)

Most Mass. voters oppose congestion pricing aimed at easing traffic into Boston, new Suffolk/Globe poll finds - The Boston Globe
More than 69 percent of the 500 registered voters surveyed in the Suffolk/Globe poll said they would not be willing to pay to drive to downtown Boston if there was less traffic.

This is my favorite bike advocacy video in a long time. I love how direct the kids are about saying they deserve to move about their neighborhood safely. Well done Piers Park Sailing! They have more videos on Instagram: www.instagram.com/piersparksai...

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got
Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

"Bikes will not replace us" is the funniest fucking thing I've seen in a while. No one is more aggrieved than a driver who is asked to share a tiny bit of the massive pie they get all to themselves.

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.
