Dolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...

The @streets.boston.gov has decided to repave the high crash corridor of Hyde Park Av without any safety improvements. Boston Better Streets Coalition is asking for letters from the community to go to the mayor to call for FIXING the streets not paving over the problem foresthills.boston#write

I can fault Mayor Wu for many things. Courage isn’t one of them. Her showing up took guts, and she said the right things. Let’s hold her, and all our officials, to what is said in times like these when the right path is obvious. 12/?

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...

If we want voters to notice and appreciate energy policy, we should make the physical and economic improvements *as noticeable and close to voters as possible*. Heat pumps, induction stoves, and insulation in our houses and apartments. Solar on our roofs and balconies. Ebikes and EVs in our garages.

Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature. Eight children were murdered in the shooting. futurism.com/future-socie...

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong? Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

Parking minimums push up costs. The more we devote to housing cars, the less we have to house people. Ed just wants a giant parking lot instead of a city.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

oh now SUDDENLY he hates it when you tax international trade

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.

One of the most interesting things about Dutch cycling culture is how long people keep cycling. Even at 75+ you still see many people on the bike, often every day. That is not by chance. Safe cycle lanes, smooth surfaces, and clear crossings make cycling possible at every age.

Catherine O'Hara making me think the thought, "71 is so fucking young"

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed. A phone.

First a “piece of ice”, next “a few acres of snow”.

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

I thought this was a parody. It isn't. Cray-cray is blaming his own future dangerous behavior on not winning the Nobel, and on the prime minister of Norway, because he is from the same country as the Nobel committee.

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

It’s Epiphany! And #RecipeOfTheDay celebrates it French-style with puff pastry and frangipane, in other words, this Galette des Rois👑 www.nigella.com/recipes/gale...

Four years ago, we began our work to make Boston a home for everyone. That mission continues today in our second term. Please join us live.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

We all say we want the street on the left, but the street on the right is the receipt for our online shopping habits. You can't have Amazon convenience and Main Street charm. Corporate convenience shopping will cannibalize small businesses commerce.

"Until the basic math of adulthood starts to make sense again, more young Americans will feel pushed toward high-risk speculation — not because they want to “get rich quick” but because they fear they’ll never be able to experience their parents’ American Dream." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/21/o...

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Cue MA excuses to connect North & South Stations in Boston.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Ah, the MAGA "Christians" being who they are!

“Serious injury” is a strict legal definition signifying a life-altering injury such as loss of a limb, organ, or fetus. There have been 11,330 serious injuries from New York City traffic crashes since 2022. Serious injuries were at an all-time high under the Adams administration in Q3 2025.

Bluesky has felt sleepy for a while now. I want to encourage everyone to post more. Text is fine, but you know what? People enjoy damn near any picture of something neat. Food, your bike, a cat, whatever. Also, liking is nice, but reposting is what actually helps exposure.

There’s no place like #OpenNewbury for the holidays🎄😍🎅

Good morning, Boston ☀️ Open Newbury is back today starting at 10am!

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.
