Breaking the Massachusetts Public Records Law shouldn’t be de facto legal The state already has an office that’s supposed to hold officials accountable—it should be empowered to actually carry out this mission.

NEW: Here is my simple idea, folks. Breaking the #Massachusetts Public Records Law should not be de facto legal!

The state already has an office that’s supposed to hold law-breaking officials accountable—it should be empowered to actually carry out this mission!

I was disappointed to hear @mayorwu.boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social describe the Flaherty Dolphins as an outside club swim team today on @wgbh.org. The Dolphins have been part of the @bcyf.boston.gov swim league and run by BCYF staff for over 30 years! @universalhub.com @enriquepepen.bsky.social

BREAKING (1/4): Tall Ships event planner has never met with City of Boston or DEP regarding closure of public spaces and Harborwalk for private use by VIPs during Parade of Sail — including Ch91 open space and Harborwalk.

But privatization of these spaces is planned.

Which is what the linked story says (although it's state law, not just a Boston thing). But just showing up with a loaded gun would have been enough for an arrest, since police say he didn't have a license.

The cafe kiosk on the main floor of Boston City Hall is always an outlet of a local cafe, and the main floor of the Boston Public Schools HQ is set aside for local restaurants. Quincy, I just don't know, man.

But like Drew said, this is a story of a crime, a crime covered in bourbon sauce.

True. Vendors to a cafe in a municipal building? You think Sysco sells bags of reheatable bourbon steak tips?

To be fair, the steak tips were in four orders over two years, but each order was "for himself" and one order was for 48 lbs. shortly before hie was fired.

He ordered the steak tips from vendors for the cafe at the Kennedy Center, a municipal building that housed Elder Services, in 4 orders over 2 years: 30 lbs for $393; $591 for 45 lbs; $413 for 30 lbs; $839 for 48 lbs.

Update: 311 marked the report "resolved" and a UHub visitor says there was no sign of the bird this afternoon, so here's hoping it got the help it needs.

A Good Life Is More Than a GPA.

Today marked my third year returning to Boston Latin School 🐺for the 13th Annual Career Day — always a full‑circle moment, and always meaningful.

🗣️While we were there to discuss our career paths, I chose to go beyond the résumé.

My latest bar illustration: The Hollows in Teele Square, Somerville, MA. Formerly Rudy’s. Was happy to visit it recently during my last trip back to Boston and hope to get back soon.

Also, Oola was utterly unhelpful while I was trying to take the photos of the artwork and prints.
