Gardner Museum. Saltie Girl for seafood. Mooo for steak. Art galleries at 450-460 Harrison Ave. Walk the Charles River embankment on both sides. Have an egg sandwich from Flour Bakery (any location). Maybe Myers + Chang for dinner (same owner as Flour). Bar at the Newbury Hotel, and walk Newbury Street and Boylston in the Back Bay. So much more.

Fuck whoever put that up. Genocide is genocide. Jews do not deny Armenian suffering. Fuck them for trying to play victim against victim.

You mean you want a free tattoo?

You’re right, it’s not a tough concept: Cops shouldn’t work paid details all day, and then come in to work their shift exhausted. For many cops, the detail checks become the main goal. Details should be mostly abolished.

I walk a lot in the city. I sometimes ride a bike. I sometimes take the T. I even occasionally take a bus. I disagree with your opinion.

I will fight a congestion tax, along with many others. We’ll see how it goes.

“Cars make it impossible for anyone not in a car to effectively and safely use the streets” is simply wrong.

Yes, we should have better transit, but I doubt we agree on what that means.

Good thing we both get to vote.

Actually, Boston is pretty big. And magical thinking will not disappear all the cars. There is no injustice in our streets being used by cars. That’s why we have the streets. Yes, I understand you wish it were otherwise, but it isn’t.

I didn’t say anything about privilege.

Yes, we have to stop using ICEs everywhere, I agree. But when all the cars are electric, you’ll hate them anyway.

We can’t just flip a switch and transform the entire nation. It’s a big place.

And some of us don’t. One group is not superior to the other.

Yes, it is definitely much safer to stay home. And we would have no car injuries whatsoever if we had no cars whatsoever.

The rate was .63 deaths per 100 million miles driven in Massachusetts in 2020. That’s pretty safe.

You are welcome here. Boston will be the best overall (not counting cost), because of the large population, varied services, and diverse culture. We also have especially welcoming communities elsewhere, like out west in the Berkshires, and all the way east in Provincetown. There are surely others I don’t know about. State law is favorable.

I am a straight, white male and there’s a lot I don’t know. But I know this: we don’t tolerate bigotry. I’m very proud of our state. We were first in equal marriage. All humans are welcome, and are protected by our state law.

Join us.

Really quite similar to a heroin dealer giving a free sample or two.

Under-appreciated joke. I can’t wait for the next season.

It’s an abomination. And it isn’t even functional. Spend five minutes inside thinking about efficiency and space utilization and you’ll want to tear it down.

Nah. They’d have said already. Snow emergencies are expensive; they’d rather not.

We have built the nation around the car. It’s hard to get out of, though we all should.

Anyone who tries to convert you to their religion is an asshole and anyone who tries to scare someone out of their religion is an asshole.

Basically, leave people the fuck alone.

(Which also means keeping your religious bullshit off our laws.)

Got it. Perhaps I was a bit defensive. I’d say it’s better than being offensive, but the jury’s out on that. Who am I to judge?

Remember that the next time you need one, and don’t call for the help.

Just now, wine.

The “leave the orange envelope” trick doesn’t work, but also you don’t get towed for one outstanding ticket. I mean, unless it’s a tow zone.

Oh, right. So RMV1 or RTA or whatever, I’m pretty sure the insurer has to certify it or whatever before the RMV registers the car.

It’s a great job if you like the fish and game stuff, if you like autonomy, and if you’re tough enough to handle the inevitable confrontation with a pissed-off hunter.
