I met Obama once and I was very nervous and he shook my hand and said "Hi! What's your name?" and my mind is just thinking "oh no I was not anticipating needing to answer questions"

"big guys, great asses, tears in their eyes "sir...sir" they pleaded "please take this cognitive test again sir" and what am i going to do refuse have u seen their asses"

"The Banner is hoping for an increase in Black representation on Beacon Hill, but this does not ensure that and we are also concerned about the motives of the private equity executives that are backing this change. More Black legislators beholdened to them would not be progress."

Lmao

Republican candidate’s campaign website accidentally publishes AI prompt: “The president is not popular, so all messaging should be focused on local politics and needs." www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Okay but attackers *expect* it to be a big number. A small number they'd never think to guess.

I just want everyone to know that the Arthur books/TV show have characters "Timmy and Tommy Tibble". The Tibble Twins. I'm very disappointed in them.

Wait what are we calling New England?

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Hear me out- Rashomon but it's The Beatles

"Climate change is too hard, we should move to Plan B and just terraform Mars instead" is the dumbest faux-smart-guy take in the universe. Like spend as little as 30 seconds thinking about this. It's sad for people like Bezos and Musk to think this but much sadder that others buy it.

youtu.be/ZeudG7u3FW8?... @jadomian.bsky.social is so funny in this. Brilliant concept and execution.

Handy progressive cheat sheet for the ballot measures, Massachusetts. @universalhub.com

"fall from grace"?! He's a convicted pedophile!

The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day.

Strongly endorse everything here! Also I find it funny when podcasts say "find us in Apple Podcasts or whenever you get your podcasts" as if one weren't a subset of the other.

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...

Love this energy

I think I agree with all of these?

i try to stay mum on elections i can't vote in, but if you're in massachusetts, take it from me in california: you really really really don't want top-two primaries. vote no on 3.

folks always like to say "but one day the sun will engulf the earth" and, yes, I guess so, but farming was invented 12,000 years ago and we have about 83,300 times the distance between now and then to work that out, it is one of the most extreme-opposite-of-urgent problems

I'm actually okay with this on one condition www.ms.now/news/trump-f...

I've had life insurance for years. Haven't used it once.

Stupid. Pandering. Self-destructive. The #mapoli governor who thinks disinvesting is the answer to the spike in gas prices. Suspend the gas tax, make it easier to drive more, is neither sustainable nor sensible. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/g...

The theme of Trump’s second term is his using the power of the presidency as though it’s his own. That manifests in tantrums booting media outlets from the White House. More harmfully, it also manifests in blocking federal funding to states that didn’t vote for him. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

I just donated $100 to Sherrod Brown, you can do the same right here: app.oath.vote/donate?ref=F...

Okay I'm going to make some much cheaper glasses where anytime it hears yelling it'll just say "hey stop yelling"

I took the bus to work today and happened to be reading "The Coming of the Third Reich" and I did not realize that those two things were related.

🚨Massachuestts' Gov. Healey has endorsed Yes on Question 7! . “Legalize Starter Homes” makes it easier to build smaller, more attainable homes on smaller lots. “By opening doors to first-time homeowners, we’ll help more young people afford to stay in MA and build their future here.”

This is great but it also makes the state of Beacon St even more glaring

Lot of issues here but one part that sticks out in light of the almost-attacked-a-Chinese-ship story today: people with very important jobs where lives are at stake have bought the hype and outsourced their whole brains to AI. We're going to see more and more of this. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

Me: can I get some fries for the table The table, whispering to me: garlic fries Me: let’s make that garlic fries haha

Trump is dead serious. See this chart from March: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
