I'm ashamed to say that everything I know about GrayKey I know from the Karen Read trial....

I'm getting really sick of Strezo's condescension toward new Council members. You were new once too, Councilor, mid-term no less.

Like maybe she did with her earlier statement? πŸ‘€

Isn't this great? Look how dark it is still is at 7:25 in the morning. Wow, so great.

I hate it and I think it's stupid and I don't care about having a later sunset because I get up early and I'd rather have light in the morning and it's one of my least favorite days of the whole year.

Rough day if you don’t know how to walk like a penguin.

I thought SNL handled this perfectly. INCLUDING the nod to the fact that Hilary Knight not only watched Heated Rivalry, but made several videos about her reaction to the show.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

Being able to mute Stories on Instagram is so great. I don't need you to share your doomscrolling with me -- I'm doing fine all on my own.

I thought this was a joke about how poorly Brady Tkachuk handled the last few days but no this is actually just a fully accurate description of what he just did in a hockey game that’s happening right now

That's how they do things in Kansas. (I'm listening online...)

I had this very realization this morning ("almost time to start the seeds!") and it made me smile -- which is one of the reasons I do it every year.

Mmmhmm he's getting it on social media posts and r/Bruins is unimpressed. As a Bostonian, I'm proud of my fellow asshole sports fans for not being idiots about this one.

β€œWe should have reacted differently. We know that,” Swayman said.

But you didn't. And actions speak louder than words.

You don't need to follow the puck! Follow the players. That's what matters.

the NHL is the reason the NHL isnt more popular. its not bc of the speed of the game or that ppl cant keep up while watching it. its bc a lot of the players are unlikeable and bland and just downright awful ppl

The Boston Globe is obsessed with Larry Summers.

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

Yeah, hard for me to imagine Boston turning on homegrown McAvoy. But I've been surprised before!

Not sure what you were expecting from a bunch of white millionaires with a history of concussions

I'm seriously so impressed. I don't know what kind of magic they have but one pass by the big DPW truck with the blade down and the salt flying has my street down to pavement. There was at least an inch covering the surface after [contractor] did their...best(?).

A picture of a snow blower. There is a hand puppet with googly eyes nearby. The text reads: Don't put your hand in that! Never use your hands to unclog wet snow from a snow blower. Turn your snow blower off and use a cleanout tool or a long stick.

Holy moly, @cityofsomerville.bsky.social the difference between the DPW plowers and the [contractor name redacted] plowers is like night and day! We just had our first DPW-powered pass through and it's a whole new world out there. πŸ’―

Our Snow Guy came over night (bless him) and I was out there for about an hour this morning making the finishing touches -- widening here and there, etc.
