Is anyone else getting the constant uber/massport fee ads on YouTube? Why did they hire someone with the absolute fakest Boston accent if they wanted us to take them seriously?

not really taking sides on the "Boston is now 100% bougie"/"Boston still has working class roots" argument in this thread, but i feel like Boston discourse too easily forgets the South End has been pricing out the gay community over the course of three decades now, Dorchester now has two gay bars

I know the world is a mess, but a group of strangers in Boston spent around 2 hours tonight helping a beaver that was on Adams Street find its way back to the Neponset River, so all is not lost.

You might also remember Pepper Jack, one of Boston's worst, from when he got suspended for a whole five days, for abusing civilians and years of IA complaints being sustained against him! This is what being one of Boston's Worst Cops pays. $544,520 a year.

And it's important to convey - this is nothing new for BPD! This level of ridiculous overtime pay and overcompensation is common for the cops here in Boston, and year after year, we see the most favored cops making 300-500K or more - often, these are the worst cops, like "Pepper" Jack Danilecki

want to be even madder? pension levels for cops are determined by their gross income from the last 3 years of service - income that includes overtime (standing around on their phones at construction sites). figure out why MA has so much cop-related overtime fraud you cant

The coalition I'm looking for has someone like Michelle Wu or JB Pritzker or AOC as its leaders, the most pro-NATO and APAC foreign policy wonks, and three completely feral sociopathic vengeance freaks as AG, FBI, and CIA head.

People be like "Boston is racist" and REFUSE to enter Mattapan, Dorchester, or Roxbury even in their own car. You're probably racist too, erasing thousands of people like that. We're out here. This is our fucking city, and our fucking mayor, making us proud. We make Boston worth living in, together.

She's handled some things in ways wish she hadn't, but I still genuinely believe that if anything happened to Michelle Wu, every reasonable person in Boston would be forming infantry regiments on the Common within 48 hours.
