I guess I’m glad someone is beating ACNA at their own game?

He's also a creep, and people avoid his movies bc he's a creep.

Anyone starting to think that Jared Leto may be box office poison? I know that not really a thing, and any actor has the potential to be amazing with the right script, talent and skill. But there has to be a point where you read a script and see it a dud that no amount of good acting can help.

Ordinarily I agree, but dudes who say “The Giving Tree” tend to have very codependent and frankly terrible ideas of what love is.

Baird is, of course, enamored of any water where it should not be.

If you’d like to know what the weather in Boston is like today, the rain is mainly a fine mist. Which fools you into thinking it’s not that bad.

But this was my sportcoat when I took it off.

You know something I miss about Twitter That Was? University-educated Acela Corridor millennial women complaining about bad dates with guys who were really into David Foster Wallace. It was both super-niche, but also a whole genre of tweet, and that gave it its charm.

That’s what I said, and they thought I was being facetious.

"While your proposal to increase the bed availability in your shelter from 80 to 140 by purchasing accessory dwelling units was a surprisingly resourceful plan, the budget and governance committees have identified pickleball as the issue that voters care about most."

Yep. Being disabled in a new city was pretty terrible for me because the most interaction I had was with old crusty vets at the VA hospital. I gave Meetup a shot… it was OK. Sorry I don’t have a good answer. I hope you make good friends quickly

I hope you get a good response. Being new in a city post-grad blows.

I am all alone at the Red Cross Blood Donation center here in Boston. They were totally booked out scheduling, but almost no one has shown up due to the weather.

Massachusetts needs to pass the Safe Communities Act so that we can limit such blatant police collaboration with ICE.

We can't stop everything ICE is doing, but our state and local law enforcement should no the making their jobs easier. #mapoli

I know it’s a New England thing, and necessary in weather like today, but I will never get used to bean boots with dress trousers.

JR is wearing “thornproof” tweed trousers and LL Bean hunting boots.

Anything smaller is going to FEEL like it’s doing more work, but won’t hit those big muscles along your spine effectively. Anything bigger than 3” diameter is going to make it hard to accurately hit pain spots.
