Gotta love how Boston pretended to be a major fun city for a week and then shut everything down again. Why the hell would you even bid to host two knockout games if you’re going to pretend the tournament ends at the group stage? Why does this city intently hate fun? It’s insane
One week of bars being open past 1am and the people of Boston are acting like rural townspeople at the end of a film where a friendly outsider teaches us to live life to its fullest or overcome our differences, except instead of aliens or drag queens it’s 50,000 Scots
Boston permitted just 432 housing units in Q1 2026, 266 of them in the multi-phased, subsidized, Bunker Hill redevelopment.
At this pace, the city is headed for its worst year of housing permitting since 2010.
"The reluctance of some communities to expand their housing supply comes at a painful cost...
If lawmakers on Beacon Hill don’t want this decision to be made by referendum, they’ll do their job & take up the issue themselves.
The time for incrementalism is over."
12 is Noon. We call this "Standard Time."
You cannot "save" daylight by weird clock machinations such as DST.
It's very stupid but the "daylight savings" branding was admittedly genius.
It's actually just "get up earlier time."
In the 60's - ’80s, Massachusetts permitted 30,000–50,000 new homes annually. We haven’t exceeded 20,000 permits since 2006.
Marblehead alone didn’t create our housing crisis, a fundamentally broken housing system did.
Fixing it requires bold action from the Legislature NOW.
Friendly reminder that New England is the only region with an actual name. Every other region is named based on their relative position to New England.
New England is the center of the US.
Amazing. Warren is deliberating trying to choke off investment in the construction of *new* single-family rental properties.
This is profoundly regressive. Why is it OK for large investors to build and rent out apartments but not single-family homes?
Many working-class Americans don't have high enough incomes or credit scores to buy a home. If we cut off investment in rental houses, then these families won't be able to live in large swathes of America: Roughly 70 percent of all residential land is zoned for single-family residences.
The only way for working-class people to live in many affluent suburbs -- and access their high-performing schools -- is to rent a house. For this reason, corporate investment in single-family homes reduces socioeconomic segregation.
Warren's policy effectively helps rich people keep working-class renters out of their towns -- while reducing the overall supply of housing and nudging up rents. It prioritizes populist symbolism over progressive outcomes.
Pats fans need to take a deep breath and stop crashing out. We made it to the Super Bowl. Our offense needs serious help but we have the cap space to make a difference during the off season. No matter what, this season went way above our expectations. And THAT is a win in my book.
The worst part about this is I have to hear people say dumb shit about Drake Maye for the next few months. He wasn’t good tonight but the guy was just robbed of league MVP the other night in his first full season as a starter. Dude is 23 years old. He’s got no help either. Relax.
This is the truth about Drake Maye:
• He won 17 games in his second season, in a year where his preseason win total was 8.5.
• He took his team to the Super Bowl in Year 2.
• He finished 2nd in MVP voting, again, in his second season.
Season review:
• 4,394 passing yards
• 31 passing TDs
• 8 INTs
• 113.5 passer rating
Did he have the most outstanding performance against the best defense in football in the Super Bowl? No.
Was he even supposed to be anywhere near this game? Also no.
People are so quick to want to “have a conversation” about players that it’s almost comical.
This kid will do what he’s done his entire life: reflect, respond, and overcome.
He will be back.
