I enjoyed this well-edited video about Boston's runner culture, problems with the T, and the Charlie Card Challenge race in which a group of 150 runners see if they can outrun the green line over a 6.6 mile stretch from Boston College to Park Street.

Seems like a clever and quite positive way to raise awareness of how climate change will impact Boston.

>“The idea was that this narrative about the climate monsters would be driven by kids, because their generation and future generations are the ones who will face the most volatile effects of climate change,” says Brophy. “It’s empowering them to approach this overwhelming problem from a new perspective, and to think about ways that they can write themselves into being the heroes of the story.”

In its final four months, the brewery will still have Patio Season, Festbier and a new fall menu.

Free live music in Cambridge, Fisherman's Feast in North End, 4 museums with free admission, Dine Out Boston, and more.

>Over a seven-day period in July, the foundation said it identified 15 locations where methane gas concentrations posed the risk of fire or explosion.

>CLF found more than 200 public shade trees dead or dying from methane poisoning from leaking gas pipelines.

>"National Grid’s leak data shows it allows hazardous Grade 1 leaks to continue leaking for more than 2 ½ years."

>I wondered: Do people still host book clubs? Meet up to chat about books? Yes, it turns out. Whether you want to attend a book group in a library (where chosen books can be loaned instead of bought), a cafe or a brewery and talk about fantasy, romance or general fiction, there’s one for you here, all on stress-free monthly schedules.

State wastewater data shows the levels in Massachusetts are more than twice the national average. That's based on testing done at the end of July. National numbers are also higher than normal.

Massachusetts is among the 19 states in the CDC's "very high" range. The rest of New England is also in that range. Emergency room visits are at their highest rates since February.

This is the most COVID activity in Massachusetts since last winter.

Damon said in an interview with the YouTuber Jake Hamilton that an artist wants to add a permanent bronze statue of Williams in the lagoon area of the Garden [in the spot where where they filmed the famous bench scene in Good Will Hunting].

“The idea being that if you feel alone you can go sit next to him, which I think is the coolest idea. It would be like the most beautiful installation and like such a tribute to that guy, who I think would’ve loved that.”

After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

Over 44 years of operation, Great Scott evolved into a small-but-mighty haven for artists across genres — from punk and hip-hop to freak folk, industrial, indie and metal. Local bands and national acts packed the intimate, 240-capacity room, including Phoebe Bridgers, Jack Harlow, Ty Segall, Palehound, Pile, Oompa, Clairo and Speedy Ortiz.

If the stars align, we could see a new season featuring Massholes and Mainers bonding over Dunkin' iced coffees.

Now in a new location on John F. Kennedy St, with a new management team.

“We’re challenging the Open Fields Doctrine altogether,” Gay said. “One of the things that’s surprising to people is that the Open Fields Doctrine applies to land you’re living on, that you’re using to spend time with your family, to have conversations with your wife, to play with your children. It’s the kinds of places where you expect privacy, and you’d expect that you’d have the power to keep out unwanted intruders, but the way that the government applies the doctrine is that it only extends to the small area around your house called the ‘curtilage,’ not all the space you’re using on a day-to-day basis.”

Gay and Highlander are challenging that in their court case, in part because the camera in this case was located on property that Highlander and his family live on.

“These game wardens and other officials can kind of go onto most land whenever they want, for whatever reason they want, and they don’t have to get a warrant, and there’s no neutral magistrate or judge providing any kind of check on their behavior,” Gay said. He added that he is challenging the Open Fields doctrine specifically under the Virginia Constitution, which establishes a narrower Open Fields doctrine than federal law does. “We think that the camera’s seizure here is an entirely separate and additional level of egregious. What we’ve found is that wardens in this country won’t just enter people’s land, they will sometimes put cameras there to spy on that land, and, as you saw here, they will actually take other people’s cameras and look through it for evidence.”

T officials explained state of good repair using as an example a car with an expected useful life of eight years. The officials said maintenance costs during the car’s first two years on the road are minimal but start increasing in year three through eight. Beyond year eight, the vehicle may continue to run well but the odds are that maintenance and repair costs will start rising to a point where the vehicle should be replaced.

Ronnie Valdivia, the MBTA’s director of asset management, said the car example illustrates the challenges of managing assets, deciding when it’s time to replace rather than repair.
