Shoe has no idea what you speak of

An Arab invented algebra. You snorted cocaine off a toilet seat. You are not the same.

Aw, Walter Koenig. Sigh. He was really talented and also seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

I admit, when I saw the monument at Place du Republique, covered in banners and graffiti proclaiming ACAB and that workers & kids deserve rights, I wept... because that is *exactly* why Marian stands there watching, ready to spread the word to the people. She is even more beautiful this way.

No doubt.

If you are in the path of Hurricane Isaias and will use a portable generator to keep the power on, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Portable generators can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

Request for Proposals: We're seeking Boston-based organizations to help improve Black men's health. Up to 4 organizations will receive up to $250k for programs that help close the 9-year life expectancy gap between Black men and other men in Boston.

ICE in New Bedford. #iceout #newbedford #mapoli

this is Argentine dirty wars shit right here

I seem to remember him being tickled to realize he had the tallest building in NY now on some news call in segment. I mean... fuck this guy, he has always fucking sucked and I don't care, but this feels like elder abuse in a way too, and all of it is intolerable on every fucking level.

It's Baby Safety Month.

Product safety is not always like the movies. Here, we have resources.

it's probably worth noting that the guys who 'grew up' instead of obsessing over their 'right' to be bigots still have vibrant careers doing what they love. meanwhile, there's Graham.

Shocking this has not had broader coverage

are you a texas voter? check your registration. check it now.

It's certainly in the running.

oh my god

this shit is breaking my heart. I’ve spent time on O’odham jewed. This is a particularly beautiful and special place that the border has been imposed on in an increasingly violent manner. I’m going to try and head over soon.

Tim Curry was such a multitalented and magnetic actor; no single clip can truly represent that. But this one he did for a video game never fails to make me laugh--especially watching him try to hold it together during the pause. Just gloriously goofy and fun. Which...maybe this is the clip, then?

On this most important National Dog Day...

The Reaper's Claw Machine is grabbing all the wrong octogenarians, godfuckingdammit.

Oh, fuck this week *right in the ear.*

So is Mitch McConnell still dead or what?

There were so many reasons to love Dolly, but this one was of course one of my favorites. And I know people whose kids actively look forward to the books coming, and all kids deserve that in their lives. And lunch. All kids deserve lunch. Gave donation because it's what Dolly would do.

Dolly Parton believed that Black Lives Matter and that Trans Lives Matter. What more is there to say? Rest well legend but more than your music, thank you for showing us how to be decent human beings. We need to follow your example now more than ever.

You can build all the gaudy ballrooms you want and gild every statue with shitty gold leaf and slap your fuckin name and image on every building taller than 1 floor. But it's stuff like this 👇 that'll be how our progeny will know who was a good human and who was not.

Dolly, you will forever be the kind of person we at altCDC aspire to be. Thank you for all that you’ve done for public health and for humanity. Rest easy. We will always love you.

Just when you think things can't get worse...they do. RIP Dolly - you were a wonderful performer but an even more wonderful person. I'm going to do what you would do, open up my wallet and give the little I can to the greater good. imaginationlibrary.com #/RIPDolly #DollyParton

receiving a book from their personal friend dolly was a highlight for my kids every month

For one thing, she is responsible for millions of kids having access to books. imaginationlibrary.com

This is also what environmental racism looks like. It’s so normalized that white folks assume they will be spared when the oligarchs decide they need even more. That assumption would be a mistake

Say NO to environmental hazards like bed bugs, mold, and asbestos. Say YES to requesting environmental hazards inspections 🙂‍↕️ Call 617-534-5965 or email environment@bphc.org.

If you're headed to the pool with your kids this weekend, put away all distractions.

We've seen this playbook before. Trump tries to cut off access to care for trans youth. We fight back. Yesterday, he finalized a rule stripping Medicaid and CHIP coverage for gender-affirming care, and we're ready to fight this one too. Massachusetts stands with trans youth. Period.

“Tuberculosis, a bacterial disease that spreads through the air, is considered such a serious public health risk that there are state laws specifically related to controlling it. The law makes clear that 'investigation is not optional'...” coloradosun.com/2026/08/07/a...

This is what we need to do to support our neighbors. This should happen every time someone’s coworker is taken anywhere.

It's ok to be silly. But the fact that every other AI company is rolling out variants of the same story after it earned OpenAI so much coverage should make you suspicious.

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

So ICE is looking for parking in Boston? Do they... know. what we are like about parking when frozen precipitation is involved? Fuck ICE. And thanks, Glasgow, for all the traffic cones. We know where to shove the ones the statues aren't wearing.

I never had kids. I will happily subsidize public schools, school lunches (and breakfasts and fucking snacks if needed) and after school programs because even if I am not a direct beneficiary, the entire community fucking wins and nobody really loses. Don't let them tell you different on ANY of this

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
