Oh not much to see here, just the United States Secretary of Defense supporting an organization that says we should repeal the 19th amendment and that only husbands in a household should vote. Yeah they literally say that in the video clip.

@berkie1 @MBTA Unfortunately, this speed is not felt by riders. Despite the fast replacement featured here, the Haverhill stop is closed for over a year due to this bridge work. Makes it hard to celebrate this "accelerated" building technique.

The South Korean President in the last 24 hours

[The New York Times @nytimes]

President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea declared martial law on Tuesday night, accusing the opposition of “trying to overthrow the free democracy.” But about five hours later, he said he would lift the declaration. Here's what to know. https://t.co/C9U4Rm6VTq

Might be my only shot at homeownership in Massachusetts

[Ian Burns @iburns4]

@dzareeko @OnlyInBOS Lots more flexibility than current bylaws. The law makes ADUs by right, many communities require a special permit. It also allows anyone to occupy the ADU (doesn't need to be family, can be a rental unit), and no owner occupancy of the primary or accessory unit is required.

“The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female and has a female passport. This is not a transgender case.”

[Ian Burns @iburns4]

The discourse around the Algerian olympic boxer is way past insanity. U.S. Republicans falsely labeling a female boxer as trans to score political points and demonize trans people. Hateful, shameful lies.

[Ian Burns @iburns4]

Newsflash: Algeria criminalizes LGBTQ activities. Why would that country ever send a trans athlete to an international competition?? Stop believing bigots on the internet.

@berkie1 A similar flyer in our region claimed every unit will have four people with two children 🙃

@ Milton residents

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

After weeks of heated debate, residents in Milton voted down a controversial new land-use plan that would have opened the community to more multifamily housing development. https://t.co/sdA8lgrtLB

Definitely getting old because I’m officially at that age where I think today’s students get snow days way too easily compared to when we were in school

[Dr. Gilligan @GreggGilligan]

Due to the amount of snow and duration of the storm the North Andover Public Schools will be closed TOMORROW - Monday, January 8, 2024. This will provide our DPW and custodians the needed additional time to clear streets, sidewalks, and school property. Stay safe!

@dcdrew19 @MVPCPlanning @ihub_uml Thank you for joining us today!

[Ian Burns @iburns4]

Looking forward to this community meeting tonight, where we'll be leading a presentation and discussion on 3A/MBTA Communities implementation in North Andover. All are welcome to attend!

Also, the housing units don't need to be apartments! Zoning that allows for townhouses, condos, or other small units can comply. Do better @wbz

[Ian Burns @iburns4]

This headline is false - local media must do a better job reporting on the housing crisis and not spread misinformation. Newton must zone for this housing, it is not required to build the housing. Huge difference.

[WBZ | CBS News Boston @wbz]

Newton must add more than 8,300 apartments to comply with new state law https://t.co/OIRWIwxm2n

MBTA sells out tickets in under 24 hours and then states they aren't adding more trains, forcing people to drive. Only a failing mass transit system like the MBTA would choose to add more cars to the road.

[MBTA Commuter Rail @MBTA_CR]

❗❗ ATTENTION all @taylorswift13 fans:

🔴 The concert train tickets from Boston to Foxboro for all 3 dates (Friday, May 19th, Saturday, May 20th, & Sunday, May 21st) are completely sold out on the mTicket app & in Boston Stations!

@sannstanton @MassEOHED @MassGovernor @MassLtGov @Mass_Tech @massventures @MALifeSciences @VisitMA Congrats! Our state is lucky to have you in this role.

@TeamTram @MVPCPlanning @dfshand @Elect_KKassner @Payano @MVRTA_ @christina4rep Great having you this morning, thanks for joining us!
