“… unless, of course, the people of Boston know they don’t have to open the door to an immigration warrant, in which case Hell and I will stand around with our dicks in our hand like we did in Chicago and LA.”

As the mayor of Boston, eat our collective asshole, Tom.

Ooh. A whole bunch of bev alc people are going to get horny enough about this to drop their masks by accident. Pay attention to who makes the "thank god we're out of WHO" 'jokes,' because if they've been quiet about everything so far, they're not joking.

I've long gotten shit for saying there's zero chance that Katz's in Chelsea "invented" the pizza bagel, so I appreciate @douglasmack.bsky.social's research here. I'm not saying Katz's stole it—there were no food blogs then, ofc.—but there's also no way they were first to have the idea.

Brianna Wu made a bunch of fart noises trying to primary this guy, so actual competent people stayed out of it. I'm lucky to be repped by Pressley, whose successful primary against incumbent Capuano should be a model for whomever seriously steps up to boot Lynch.

I was outside the Tesla on Boylston here in Boston for just 10 minutes or so. Only a dozen people were protesting. In that time, about a dozen people seemed as if they were heading into the store. All but 2 turned away when they saw the very small crowd. Food for thought.

I really hope the capabilities of this agency haven't been undersold.

For years now, I've had vehement disagreements with friends of mine who have objected when I've said that immediate, vicious violence (or at least its threat) is the best response to the slightest Nazi behavior. I am curious how they feel about it today.

Paul Wahlberg was also honored at this ceremony because of community service efforts at Wahlbergers, a company that had trouble securing liquor licenses because his co-owner brother Marky Mark Wahlberg once went to prison for beating up a man for existing while not being white

We have the numbers, the knowledge, the courage, the desire, the willingness to take risk. We win in all of those categories. But we need political leaders. We need leaders that match us, that match this moment. We're ready to do what we need to.

If this wasn't from Dave, I would have presumed this was from a gag account. This is extraordinarily weird behavior by both brands here.

Early in the pandemic when everyone was mad at choices to open or close bars & restaurants I often said "if government gives people only bad options, they're going to make bad choices." Musk/Trump are pushing a whole lot of people into the land of bad choices that lots of people will celebrate.

Linda Yaccarino's posting strategy on X is to seem like a vapid idiot posting twee engagement bait and serving as a patsy for Musk, surprising people who used to work w/ her. Now we know it's shtick to throw people off how awful she is and likely has always been.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

I had someone anonymously email me a Google photo of my parents' house when I tweeted about Mario Batali being an abusive boss years before the sexual assault news broke. Grow a sack, congressman.
