Yes, I paid my fare (I always do), but I also went through one of only…maybe eight working gates?

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' The president was questioned about the unfolding war with Iran for a new 'Time' cover story By Paloma Chavez Published on March 5, 2026 05:23PM EST

Sometimes, I think the People Magazine staff took what happened to Teen Vogue personally and are pounding their chests, yelling, "What now, bitches?" when writing headlines.

if what the state is calling "machine translation" (even if reviewed) is a cause for concern for you, #Massachusetts, if being used for documentation for students and their families, you will want to offer comment on proposed new regulation 603 CMR 57, specifically .5 (3)

remind me, #MAEdu, that I want to update you on Title I tomorrow.

I saw that we got “oh the South Station gates are WORKING” press today, so thought I’d share that as I came through at 9 PM tonight, they also have raincoats.

emanuel is a perfect example of the media trying to create its own reality. he has no organic constituency and his mayoralty ended in scandal and failure. but pundits love him so now we get one million articles insisting against all real evidence that he's actually a huge player

HEY! Congratulations!! Best wishes!

Curiously, the man who suggested that timing to the commanders was quartermaster general Thomas Mifflin, a Philadelphia merchant. (He credited an unnamed “friend” with the reminder.)

George Washington also invoked the anniversary as motive for fighting against an expected British attack on 5 March.

(Sorry, lot of “intentional” up there. I grew up with March 17 getting all the glory, though!)

I did not learn until today that the cannons Henry Knox and his men had gotten across Massachusetts intentionally "appeared" on Dorchester Heights intentionally on March 5, as a remembrance of the Boston Massacre.

That's a memorial. Damn.

and as a reminder: we celebrate EVERY SINGLE WIN.

(and I'm muting you if you don't)

I'm also loving "always read the footnotes"!

YAY! GO ALL OF US WHO COMMENTED!

Nice job using the process to put the brakes on!

oh wow I may need this

Try your damndest to live your life so that if you were fired from your job and about to give a speech that someone would tell you.

I managed to work a rotary into this presentation. #MAEdu

were we wearing a suit when we asked? did we say please and thank you? it’s important to be grateful.

or that if one wants to know how much the new electric school buses cost, they could read the article? ;)

There is no one more resolute and optimistic than a modern Texas Democrat. When I tell people who know my politics that I live in Texas, they sometimes say, "I'm sorry." I'm not. There are reasons to leave, and if you're reading this, you probably know them (abortion access, voting rights, guns, climate change...). If I had a trans child, I would try to move. But for most of us, leaving is neither an option (jobs, family, the housing market) nor that appealing. We have work to do. That work is paying off, too. This year, Democrats fielded a candidate in every state and federal race on the Texas ballot, the first time in modern history that either party has done so.

Wrote a little about this attitude today!

Also, it really needs to be said: if you prompt a chatbot with a question and it reads in a way that makes it sound like you're looking for a certain answer, it will probably churn out something that gives you the type of answer you want.
