Reminder to folks that you can get anything you want at The Map Center, even 8x10 glossy prints with a washable finish so you can draw circles and arrows on them, wipe them clean and reuse them. No need to send them to the landfill!
Also, we will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Our neighbors appear to have their Christmas tree up already. Thinking about reporting them to 311. If nothing else, I'd probably get a post on @universalhub.com

Well if this isn’t a situation then I don’t even know what a situation is.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Great to see that Frank Baker lost to Henry Santana by a large margin. He was closer to coming in last than he was to getting a spot on the council. Now all 4 incumbents have to serve out their full terms, so we don't have another Althea Garrison situation. #BosPoli

Congrats tonight to @wutrain.bsky.social even though she actually won in September when she became the first mayor in history to win by Mercy Rule.

Dick Cheney: #2 as VP but always #1 Dick in our hearts.
Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Love that the Globe refers to @roadsteamer.bsky.social in his "Planned Parenthood Pony" character as "the pony."
“Trump was on the Jeffrey Epstein plane,” the pony sang to the tune of the Village People song “Y.M.C.A.”

Big day for Cuomo who now has the moderate Republican criminal lane almost all to himself.
BREAKING: Mayor Eric Adams is dropping out of New York City's mayoral race. nypost.com/2025/09/28/u...
Exclusive | Eric Adams drops out of NYC mayoral race amid increasing pressure: ‘I know I cannot continue my campaign’
Adams — who repeatedly vowed to stay in the race despite being in a distant fourth place in the polls — dropping out now gives Cuomo a boost against his socialist rival.

Besides being uncompetitive, this campaign has been a huge letdown in other ways.

The good news for Josh Kraft is that the narrowed general election field opens the door for him to lose by less than 45 points!

It occurs to me that if either the Wu or Kraft campaign had internal polling showing a closer race than public polls have shown, they would leak it.
