I think maybe Tom Brady, and the other Boston sports stars who also beat your teams, encouraged more people to live here. Or maybe it was the ritual sacrifices I made to the Traffic Demon Lord of Sports Betting.
I just hope it was one of those high paying, once in a lifetime jobs.

I never got to go there before it closed and I was bummed. Somehow I don't think the rebuild will have any of the old school charm of the original.
While the whole thing was pretty ridiculous, I think it showed the value of the emergency broadcast system. I felt informed and up to date.

a Tornado Watch has been issued for the greater #SomervilleMA area until 8pm (and it looks like most of New England is, too) as a refresher: a WATCH (like this one) means conditions are favorable for a bit of the ol' severe weather within the watch area, so make sure you have a way to receive warn...

Tim Murphy reports this hawk rode a BC trolley from the Government Center loop to at least Arlington, where he snapped these photos, today, wonders if anybody had the heart to tell the hawk that BC is probably the wrong school for it.
Thank you, I felt the premise of the article was too black and white. I think independent journalism is critical to a functioning society as is government. Therefore, government needs to encourage independent journalism somehow. It's easy to find examples of state sponsored media that is obviously propaganda, but there has to be an middle ground. If public funded journalism was the ideal balancer, for example, maybe government could have a system of helping news outlets setup public funding infrastructure? I just hate the idea of saying "government bad".
Yeah, was she remorseful because she was tricked or because she did something atrocious?
Agreed. It is harder to explain, but better in every other way. Not much of a down side in my book.
I think what is hard to explain is how you determine who wins. Most people understand that in "old school" voting the one with the most votes wins. With ranked choice, how does it handle multiple people with very different rankings. Its easy to say "the one that most people preferred" or "instant runoff" but explaining how that is calculated is not easy. I am very much for ranked choice, and I was devastated when it lost the vote, but it's biggest hurdle is comprehension, and that is something for FUD'lers to prey on.
How did they fuck it up? Also, should it just be EMS staff on the scene or a third party, in your opinion?
I didn't know that was an issue. Why would they be taller than the bridge?
Yeah, I don't know why anyone would think this would be free forever. The idea is to encourage adoption.
Oh wow, the herald version has an even more biased headline. I searched the author and the article didn't come up. Still doesn't. Thanks for the sleuthing. I am still suspicious that this article got posted on a police issues website so quickly, but I am also not invested enough to take this conspiracy theory further.
I agree that there are good and relatively cheap sushi places available. I may just be a snobby snoot but I think a good omakase is much more than fancy presentation. The ones that I have enjoyed had excellent quality fish paired with nuanced accompaniments like herb oils, fried onions, pickled vegetables, etc. Now these are not very expensive ingredients and they are used in extremely small portions, so there is still something to be said for it being a luxury markup. My gateway drug was Cafe Sushi in harvard square but they have unfortunately gone take-out only and it is not the same. Ironically they got rid of the fancy nature and I stopped going. I might just be a snooty snob.
My love of sushi and Omakase makes it hard for me to wholeheartedly agree with you, but I agree it is overpriced.
It's very cool if you like Victorian infrastructure.
