I’m sure this isn’t at all abnormal or illegal.

As neighbors go about their business of jogging, phone-talking, and dog walking, a few are brought to stillness by the drama of sunset.

Truth.

Grateful for all of the new bike lanes added to Boston streets in the past few years. Thanks @wutrain.bsky.social!
A yard sign placed on a grassy lawn reads, “Bike lanes help me arrive alive.”

This pretty much sums up Republican priorities. Tax cuts for the rich and super-rich, money for defense contractors, and throwing people into detention centers. That’s it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
