A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, sad song about climate change. Please retweet. https://t.co/7WeM6sRqCO

@fivecentcones @hjmcd20 There is a statue of the Scottish poet Robert Burns in Boston, in a park called the Emerald Necklace. It's near the intersection of Agassiz Road and a street called the Fenway. They are walking along the Emerald Necklace, near the intersection with Hemenway Ave. Very pretty!

@BeschlossDC Revolutionary War, against an evil empire of people with British accents (Peter Cushing, at least), using awesome sci-fi weapons and all kinds of sci fi tropes. The B prepared us for Star Wars, and helped make it a success.

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@BeschlossDC was over. I remember wondering if any of my friends might still be alive for the Tricentennial. We all felt so sad that the B was over. Then just a few months later, in the spring of 1977, there was STAR WARS! We could enjoy this story that was very similar to the Revolutiona

An idea I need someone to run with: some sort of annual event in Boston that brings tons of Scots here. I’m not sure what the event is, but I think we can all agree that these incredible vibes can’t just be a one-off thing. Who can figure this out?

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@jessemermell Does Boston have a "sister city" in Scotland? if not, let's get one, and start the ball rolling in that way!

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@dennis_gut65600 @jessemermell There's a Robert Burns statue in the Fenway neighborhood! Well, near Northeastern, I guess. Near the intersection of Agassiz Road and the Fenway.

@jessemermell Maybe try to find some kind of alumnae organizations of local people who did their junior year abroad at Edinburgh or St. Anrews, and get themm to start brainstorming about cultural affinities? Someone would think up something.

@LauraMiers I see your post! Some of us are still paying attention to you.

@Kellimaroney @barbaracrampton I just saw a commercial for a kitchen product called the Grillbot. It's sort of like a George Foreman grill. I wonder if they got the inspiration for the name from the Killbots, from Chopping Mall? Could beeeeee...

@ChrisLynnHedges Our leaders are in CHARGE of that decline. Fixed it for you.

It’s wildly incorrect and provincial but I do love when people from Massachusetts call all subway systems anywhere in the world the T

@HorrorGorl I went to visit my niece at her bartender job, and ordered ONE beer and a little salad. With a very modest tip, it cost me THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS. *shoots self in the head*

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@HorrorGorl Banks, landlords, utility companies, etc appear to have decided to just screw everyone over financially as much as humanly possible RIGHT NOW, knowing that after society collapses, they'll be left with ALL the assets.

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@MeetJess The Force is strong with this one!

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@HorrorGorl The Boston area is relatively walkable! Well, certainly relative to large areas of the country. I walk or take public transportation (trolley, bus, subway) practically everywhere I go.

[Van Morgan @vanmorg3]

@LauraMiers Hang in there Laura. We're all rooting for you!

@AntSpeaks There is a video on youtube called 1929 Interviews With Elderly People Throughout The US. The people in it were elderly in 1929! They remember things from the mid-19th century, and talk about them. So wild.

@PaprbackWarrior They Thirst is probably my favorite, of his books that I've read. It's about vampires taking over Los Angeles in the very early 80s. It's interesting to think about what books might have gone into the author's thought processes, as he wrote it.

@Rainmaker1973 Hope. All of it. It's just gone.
