While I have encouraged my kid to root for the hometown team, I did not teach him to randomly shout “Boo Yankees!” at me while I’m just trying to go about my business. That he got from what I have to assume is some chemical MWRA puts in the water.

My son and I have done pretty extensive reading of the previous literature on this phenomenon.

Stopped by the Copley Square farmers market the other day and grabbed this Baldwin, a true Massachusetts apple and a real treat. Tough but not unpleasant skin, a firmness you don’t find in most grocery apples, and a really delightful interplay of sweet and tart. Go eat one today 🍎

It’s not what this election was broadly about, but future candidates should learn this lesson: Henry Santana was the most vocally pro-housing at-large candidate, and he won reelection by a comfortable margin. Pro-housing policies are popular, and supporting them can make you popular.

Going through two different Morrissey Blvd redesign processes has been the most radicalizing experience of my life when it comes to planning and policy making.

Morrissey Blvd. floods multiple times a year. It's a symptom of a statewide problem.
The Dorchester parkway, one of Boston’s starkest examples of climate impacts, is inundated multiple times a year.

Paid a visit to the brand new downtown Anna’s Taqueria. What more can be said that hasn’t been already. Biting into a carnitas super burrito is like looking into the face of God and seeing her smile back and say “you are my most wondrous creation.”

Never dropped an H-bomb in my life before tonight, and it was on my kid. He was saying he knew that crimson was purplish color because of the crimson door in Minecraft. I said it was more reddish. He argued, and I finally said “I went to Harvard, our color was crimson, I think I’d know.”

I worked at a Cub Scout camp for a few summers. One time, a pack decided to have lunch off-site and didn’t tell the mess hall. We had dozens of extra grilled cheeses, so staff had to eat them or they’d go in the trash. I ate 17 grilled cheeses that day. Sometimes I worry I’ll never be that happy.

The VVitch (2015)
what’s really fun about this is when you dig into early american literature and see that the earliest colonists were terrified of the sinful city they just left and then the satanic, untamed wilderness they moved to and you realize american culture was literally raised to idealize the suburb
the amount of raw, unadulterated fear that many Americans have of even small cities is never going to stop being darkly hilarious to me

I try to make this point all the time. What makes housing affordable is one or a combination of three factors: 1. It’s old 2. It’s in bad shape 3. It’s in a market where housing is abundant. You definitionally cannot build 1 or 2. The third factor is the only one we have any control over.
It's true that it's essentially impossible for builders to build "naturally-affordable" housing in high-demand areas that haven't built a lot. The shittiest code-compliant new housing is still much nicer than most kinds of older housing and will rent for more.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The Spider-Man 2 soundtrack gave us “Vindicated”, a top five Dashboard Confessional song and therefore a pantheon song in all of music history.
Best movie soundtrack?
For me, "Boogie Nights"

You can also dress your jacket down with jeans. But it helps to make sure you're wearing a sport coat — not a suit jacket.

It would be a useful exercise for anyone who cares about transportation, elected or otherwise, to take a spin on a bike every now and again and try to follow all the rules. If you ride through Southie to get downtown, you might find yourself at this signal on the corner of Summer St and Pumphouse Rd
