Hey Somerville... Guess what?  WE BOUGHT THE BUILDING. The Somerville Theatre now belongs to the people who run it. Buying it was our leap of faith. Supporting it is where you come in. Find how you can help: somervilletheatre.com/future

I'm sure this has nothing to do with anything

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

"You know why I'm furious right now? I was hearing from everybody on plaintiffs' side that this was going to happen and I said repeatedly, no, I trust the government. I trusted you all not to do precisely what you have done."

On Monday, the MWRA and the City of Cambridge presented a ludicrous plan to the Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association — to better address combined sewer overflows, they would permanently sacrifice Magazine Beach park. I am now working to untangle this mess. www.repmikeconnolly.org/this_ridicul...

Did I just get back from a viewing at Bonhams auction house in NYC of cat-themed art? Why yes- yes I did. Did I take pictures, including of these Chinese ceramic cats from the Qing Dynasty? Also yes! Will I make a thread of some of them? Indeed I will, which will include...

Very worrying. DRC just reported 125 new confirmed Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period, right after passing 100 daily cases for the first time yesterday. The outbreak is accelerating, not just driven by more testing: 50% of all tests in Ituri were positive.

This happens once or twice a year in Union Square despite all the sewer work done in the last 6 or 7 years. That said, if they hadn't done the sewer work, there'd be like a foot of water in this intersection. (If you look just to the left of the that car, you'll see Gracie's.)

Holy cow. Manhole covers opening and shutting in the rain and wind in Union Square, sounding like church bells. Seems a bit risky tbh? @311somerville.bsky.social

And here I was thinking that given Collins's record, anyone not in the GOP would say "I will vote for a ham sandwich as long as it didn't rape anyone and doesn't have a Swastika on it," but that's just me

The White House is intent on keeping Ebola out, at all costs. The U.S. is planning to send Americans exposed to or infected with Ebola to Kenya, instead of bringing them home for care. Please read and share—this is unbelievable and infuriating. craigaspencer.substack.com/p/keeping-eb...
