@universalhub Probably removed because it was often overflowing. Trash cans are like roads, they attract users. I don't see trash on the street in the photo, so people must have figured out alternatives.

@ClarkeAtAmerica reports: "On the war’s first anniversary, there is little enthusiasm on either side for negotiations that might produce peace, just a grim acknowledgement that the conflict could extend for years to come." https://t.co/yK994dX9V7

A sentence I have never typed and vow never to type: "Please get her fired."

@conoryunits @ashmont @juliettekayyem I was in a James Joyce Book Club that went swimmingly until we hit Ulysses. It didn't help that we went to see his grandson speak at Boston College, and he scolded the audience for wanting to know about Joyce's personal life.

On this day in 1922, James Joyce's Ulysses was published. I started reading it then, and expect to finish soon.

Isn't this assuming that Black voters in every state are the same? I'm not sure that a D.C. primary would produce the same results. https://t.co/R3IPnDy97d

A helpful article on @OutrchCatholic not only for LGBTQ people but anyone who may find the holidays a difficult time to navigate, especially when it comes to family relations. https://t.co/4y5nuoKtTS

Alas, my life is tedious but not revelatory.

Magnificent piece by my colleague @winterjessica on Jeanne Dielman and its well-deserved place of honor: https://t.co/KkE6ZcuBj9

Mental illness can 100 percent make you do and say terrible things … and how anyone can look at Kanye’s behavior yesterday (like wearing a full mask over his face) and not consider the role of his diagnosed bipolar disorder is … odd

@ClwnPrncCharlie @hap317 @geneweingarten “I have very little mercy” generally makes the rest of the sentence superfluous.

Dear friends: Here's an invitation (or a challenge): If everyone who follows this account gave $5 to Outreach, the LGBTQ Catholic ministry, we would raise $1,500,000, enough to fund us for the next decade (or two or three). Thanks! You can donate here: https://t.co/2h9kEXkymS

“… summing up all the relevant info that a first grader needs to form a friendship.”

Read my colleague @Kerry_Weber’s beautiful reflection on our interview with Pope Francis.

As a way to start the week when I begin my service as editor in chief of @americamag on Dec. 1, this is pretty hard to beat.

Why are tech people obsessed with not reading books

“absurdly hard”

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

Here’s the other hidden grotesque thing about Massachusetts: candlepin bowling.

I didn’t go actual bowling — what we call “big ball bowling” in this hellscape — until I was 18.

This is all we had. It’s absurdly hard. You get 3 rolls and 100 is a great score. It’s raw pain.

@yashar Fresh tomatoes in homemade sandwiches can be OK. In all store-prepared foods, they’re trashy, mealy filler material.

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stuffing is glorified regurgitated dog food. Do not associate with people who embrace it.

@alanilagan There’s a giant edible in the parade? Well, it’s high time!
