Oh, cool, looks like I've been starter packed by a few folks. New followers: I'm based in Boston, MA, USA. When the world isn't actively collapsing (or, rather, when I take time off from paying attention to the collapse), I'm a Master Brewer and a cooking/restaurant nerd.

MIT was MIT when Donald was a pup
And MIT will be MIT when Donald's time is up
And any fascist Son of a Bitch who thinks he's in our class
Can pucker up his rosy lips and kiss the beaver's ass

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

They need an option to prevent landing in the Discovery Feed. Don't advertise "the only algorithms are the ones you choose!" and also have a Discover feed where every Facebook exile can find you

I feel like maybe this is a bad law to have on the books when we're worried about federal capture of state resources, but the MA legislature has shown no interest in taking concrete moves to protect its citizenry from the Trump regime.

Some places stopped doing it because their lawyers got anxious about dram shop laws. You're as responsible for what the patron does with/after that drink as if they were on-premise the whole time.

Since 2006. It needs to be resealed, placed in a tamper proof bag, and have the receipt—showing a food purchase—attached. I'm sure it's done, but I've never seen anyone do it

I've had friends in similar situations negotiate for mid-lease re-pricings with an extension. Landlords are understandably nervous right now

In the past week I saw one person I know and mostly respect join the Washington Post and another join Meta's spyglasses group, and I'm having trouble with that "mostly respect" thing.

Everyone's gotta have a job, but IDK, man…
