There are so many pieces of news flying around that may or may not be true. If you see something inflammatory and it doesn't have a source, please look it up before believing it and forwarding it.
Not all of the area got it bad. Springfield, MA didn't get badly hammered. It was just a regular blizzard there.
Pre-crastination: when you know you're going to have 18" of snow to clear tomorrow so you do as little as possible the day before.
Who had "go to war with NATO" for 2026?
Who knew that was even possible?
Frank (her husband) is someone I used to interact with at science fiction conventions and he always seemed reasonable, but I'm hearing from folks who know him better that they are well-matched.
So this happened. The responses here and on X are largely negative, as is appropriate given the level of harm she brought to her community.
No.
Asking someone why they decided to become an atheist is like asking someone why they're a bigfoot skeptic. Belief in something that can't be proven is a choice. Not believing? Not a choice.
Sign reading "I have friends everywhere".
I wish Andor weren't so topical. I printed this out from the official No Kings site.
This is your periodic reminder to check all your ride share and parking apps to make sure they're active and that your payment method hasn't expired.
Anyone else hearing "Da pope" now that we know he's from Chicago?
I still remember struggling over whether to hyphenate or keep my last name as-is when I inevitably married John Taylor from Duran Duran.
Considering how quickly a new pope needs to pick a name, it makes me wonder if all cardinals have the equivalent of a teenaged girl's diary where they write down potential future names and put hearts around them.
Hmm...food for thought.
I'm a tall woman who is typically happy with her height, but sometimes being the only tall person in a photo shoots me right back to my insecure junior high self. I don't think most of us will ever fully get over the things we were made fun of for when we were younger.
I know some folks are panic buying now before the forecasted shortages arrive, but all we're doing that for is cat food. As a friend pointed out, the humans in her household can adapt, but the pets cannot.
Heads up, Eastern Massholes. This is coming.
I always thought I was cis, but by this logic, since I chose not to have kids, I'm trans now? So cool to see that our "biology is not destiny" movement was just for the lols.
[CW: terf bullshit] Feminism is when “the reality of being a woman” is rigidly adhering to traditional gender roles, apparently. 🤪
There were lots of protests. Just not a giant one in Boston this time. I went to one a mile from my house.
The reasons for no permit made sense: the Marathon and the 250th had already gotten permits for the spaces well in advance.
There wasn't a permit for Boston this time and folks were encouraged to protest locally.
True tales from the life of an undiagnosed neurospicy person.
Me: I would like one chocolate.
*looks in dish, sees that I have equal numbers of all three flavors*
Me: Oh no, I don't want three. Never mind.
Reads: "America is not safe for foreign athletes. Cancel 2026 World Cup. Cancel 2028 Olympics LA."
Will this change anything? Probably not. Does it feel good? You bet your sweet bippy it does.
I just ran across the phrase "a trophy single-family residence" in a $3m real-estate listing and threw up in my mouth a little. Housing should not be a fucking trophy. If you look at it that way, then maybe that's a sign that you should be donating more to charity.
English is weird and I have sympathy for anyone who tries to use it. Case in point: I had to explain to my German boss that "fasten" doesn't mean "to make faster". She said this is why she keeps me around.
When I worked for Harvard, I spent so much time there!
I feel like this February is trying to make up for lost time.
