If Foxborough were a big city, they'd probably gamble that Boston Soccer 2026 would pay them - but they're asking the town to spend 7% of their budget for this event with a hazy commitment on reimbursement.
If Boston Soccer 2026 doesn't pay them, does the town lay off teachers to pay for it?
It is no surprise why this was covered up bsky.app/profile/nico...
Just because it feels satisfying and righteous to blame women or assert vaguely that feminism is a narcissistic pastime for privileged bitches does not mean that it is in fact insightful or true to do so.
I love how completely absurd Eversource's energy saving tips are. Oh really, if I REPLACE MY FRIDGE I might save a whole $150 over TWELVE YEARS? yeah man I'll get right on that

Second, if you are the sort of person whose narrative about themselves is "I will face reality and update my priors" it becomes cheap for you to do so and expensive not to. This can overcome the social costs.
(the other was seriously considering getting a UMass alum license plate, and both sentiments were mostly about the fact that I was finally back from maternity leave and ridiculously relieved to be doing an actual job instead, but the long term change was the regional identification)
There was a specific day I became a true Yankee, and near-tearful enjoyment of a Dunks coffee was one of the two central emotional experiences of that day
Some people genuinely have literally no moral standard for where "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is no longer true.
is it a good sign when the uniform response to a classified briefing is basically everyone immediately doing a vertical video about it in which they spend most of the time screaming that we’re all gonna die?
Shock and Uh.
For those big on the politics of food like myself, an important note here is that the dietary changes required are substantial but not radical. It does not require everyone e.g. go vegan, only a substantial decrease specifically in red meat consumption (as I have long pointed out)
Cities could be so much better. Once you've lived in a truly walkable city, you'll never stop seeing it.
its funny (read: not funny) how the market convinced itself that it can only good happen yesterday, and is now like "OH FUCK THEY'RE SERIOUS" today. like no shit you idiots, wars are serious
Atrocity cronut is gonna stick in the brain
whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could
There just isn't a lot of substance to conservative views at the end of the day? It's an unshakeable belief in hierarchy and authority. You can only dress it up so many ways.
The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.
Fish Doorbell is back!!
All bikelanes must be good for an 8 year old and for an 80 year old; if not, do NOT even call them bikelanes.
Actually, everything you do in cities, parks, sidewalks, all, must be good for and 8 and an 80 year old
If good for 8 & 80 it'll be good for all ages, 0 - 100+.
never really understand dumping on electoralism. if you have a better idea that doesn't depend on convincing many people of stuff, nobody doing electoralism is stopping you. if you have a better idea that does depend on convincing many people of stuff it's...probably going to resemble electoralism
Just thinking about how lots of people in the White House are making money off of this
"We tested ChatGPT Health with a 27-year-old patient who said he'd been thinking about taking a lot of pills," he said. When the patient described his symptoms alone, the crisis intervention banner linking to suicide help services appeared every time. "Then we added normal lab results," Ramaswamy said. "Same patient, same words, same severity. The banner vanished. Zero out of 16 attempts. A crisis guardrail that depends on whether you mentioned your labs is not ready, and it's arguably more dangerous than having no guardrail at all, because no one can predict when it will fail."
these AI chatbots just really love helping people kill themselves
Incredible things happening the LA mass transit system
i think we need to make a social shift. instead of proving how cool you are by knifing someone on our team, what if you proved how cool you are by taking the fight to the enemy. crazy thought
A hollering dog emoji would be so handy sometimes. Combining 🤜🐶 just seems too mean to the emoji puppy. Just a barking dog please!
OK but can I say something without everyone getting mad tho
A picture worth a thousand words
They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
yeah I’ve become much less tolerant of ‘directionally correct’ stuff as a direct result of RFK. it matters if something is true. yes, even if the motivation for the lies is understandable and the target of them unsympathetic like big pharma is/was.
