You know how there are some historical reenactment museum areas where you can go and see people dressed old timey churning butter and making horseshoes? There should be one that's a bar and kids can go listen to reenactors complain about their city's sports teams from different decades

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

@bostonglobe.com I don't think James Dao is on Bluesky but do let him know that his ears should be burning.
a fun fact is that ostensibly reputable people in journalism treat hanania like he's a serious person with views worth taking seriously

There's a lot going on, sure, but I'd appreciate it if we could get another White Rabbits album.
Makes sense that they were Spoon adjacent as It's Frightening is like a better version of a Spoon album.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

My hot take about Boston politics is that we'd all be better off if Boston just went the Houston route and absorbed more suburbs. Everett, Quincy, Brookline? If they were part of Boston, maybe they wouldn't have a history (only now broken by Everett) of retrograde insider political leadership.
