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

There are new affordable homeownership opportunities in Dorchester, including 15 condos available to qualified first-time homebuyers through a lottery process. Learn more and apply at boston.gov/neighborhood-homes.

Need one of these but for sacred sons and daughters of Dorchester. Who will we put on it?

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.

Might be the first “holy shit everyone is outside” day of the year in #Boston AND it’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Feel like I could drink a thousand beers.

The Boston Tea Party was over an 8% tax.

Great letter to the editor speaking in favor of #VisionZeroBoston in Dorchester Reporter Safe streets are popular! #WeBikeWeVote @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social www.dotnews.com/2025/letter-...

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.

Walgreens customers in Dorchester informed of Gallivan Blvd store closure via email today.

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

there are some moments in our culture that only enter my awareness after they are safely over, and thank god for that, i wish there were more

Sorry, no certificate of authenticity

Great crowd of folks protesting outside the Tesla show room in Back Bay. Don’t buy Nazi cars.

The shame. The humiliation. I've been Dorchester twice and not known it's a major history epicenter. Good god.

Absolutely no one: Me: Lower Mills Tavern mentioned www.facebook.com/share/r/1FZE...

2 firsts for me this morning. 1. New red line train on the Ashmont side 2. The inbound Braintree held back while we went first. #dorchester

The flier for Josh Kraft's fundraiser tomorrow. Not sure if there are ordinances governing the legality of using the official city seal on non-official documents... but I'm damned sure that's the New York City skyline. 😂 Attn: @universalhub.com

MAYOR WU [in fluent Creole]: We must protect our immigrants as we do our citizens, for that is our truest calling as Americans. MAYOR ADAMS: First of all, my cell phone was broken into 300 pieces when I bought it, in New York.

Huge if true

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.

Let Dorchester Rise

Listening to a podcast about the Massachusetts lottery, and the phrase “The cobbler in Dorchester ran numbers” in that accent is just gold.

Last week, neighbors were invited to the Boston Public Library’s Grove Hall branch in #Dorchester to check out the floor plans and view a 3D model of the future Grove Hall Community Center, which will occupy a city-owned vacant lot just across the street. www.dotnews.com/2025/reactio...

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.

i think if i actually tried to watch the video i'd jump in the river but naturally, Wu is standing her fuckin ground

Good. We should be building 18-story buildings adjacent to rapid transit. 🚇 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/04/b...

Queen Anne Victorian (1882) Dorchester, Boston This home was built sometime between 1882 and 1884 for L. E. Harris. They didn’t live there long though as by 1889 it was owned by Jennie Langtry. Photo & Information: streetscapecurator | Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtGK0OseN5/

Largest Boston police union —BPPA— delivers big endorsement to Mayor Michelle Wu. “I say that as strongly as I possibly can as we want her to be re-elected in November,” said BPPA president Larry Calderone. www.dotnews.com/2025/largest...

Hat’s off to @billforry.bsky.social of @dotnews.bsky.social for this powerful Editorial, backing Mayor Wu as she heads to Congress next Wednesday. There are rare moments in history when where one stands really matters. 🔥 www.dotnews.com/2025/editori...

The birthplace #OTD of Henry W Longfellow in Portland, Maine. The card was sent in 1911 to Bill in Dorchester, Massachusetts. "How are the missus and kiddies? My boys are having the time of their lives." #PostedInThePast

👎 for President Donald J. Trump from Dorchester, MA “He is a petulant, immoral, incompetent, and opportunistic bigot without an ounce of integrity or honor, forcing the entire country to run afoul and turning it into a mockery worldwide”

Join the @neponsetgreenway.bsky.social Saturday for #KingTideTalk at Tenean Beach in Dorchester. Climate change is real and already impacting the boundaries of our city. This is a fun and informative community event @welcometodot.bsky.social @dorchesteresq.bsky.social neponset.org/event/king-t...

hey besties if you are feeling unmotivated or floating without direction right now, you aren't lazy, it's not just you, it's your body and your mind demanding some peace in turbulent times

Remember all those posts that were like “if you’re feeling down about how things are going in the world, go out and do something positive in your community.” This is one of those things! Let’s make this town, and maybe the world, a better place. And beer.
