“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”
my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Ever wonder whether you’re at the top end of a power dynamic?
Check whether you’re allowed to show anger without repercussions.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever heard a citizen say at one of these holy fucking shit
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

We live in a society where an unwise kiss, caught on a sports arena Jumbotron, can get a CEO fired, but shooting a peaceful protester in the face on video doesn’t even get ICE agent Jonathan Ross suspended or investigated.

Sure, and people like Mr. College Republican are just clamoring for those high paying car wash jobs, right? Just the other day, I heard a bunch of BU students on the T saying “Damn, these illegal immigrants are gonna keep us from getting those fruit-picking and custodial jobs we dream of.”

The Community Preservation Act (CPA) provides money that the City can use for open space and outdoor recreation facilities, historic preservation, and affordable housing. In 2024 Somerville voters increased the property tax surcharge that pays for this program so that more projects can be funded. 🧵

Somerville has become the second city in Massachusetts to eliminate all minimum parking requirements city-wide.

Occasional reminder that if a driver hits a pedestrian while going 20 mph, the pedestrian usually lives, while at 40 mph the pedestrian usually dies.
That’s why we focus so much on street layouts that make it hard to drive fast - especially in places with lots of pedestrians.

The harasser still employed at the Somerville Public Library. This. I'm beginning to regret voting for Ballantyne. 😕
i'm sorry, but folks volunteering to keep Somerville's drains clear--you realize the City needs this help b/c DPW is understaffed due to low pay & the mayor stonewalling union negotiations, right?
which makes you (kind-hearted, volunteer) scabs
i love you all, but please understand that
