Relatedly... anybody want my second ticket/club pass for Saturday night against Bentley?

Hey, #UMass peeps! I'm looking for 3 additional tickets (and, ideally, club passes) to Friday night's game against Northeastern. Happy to trade 1 for 1 for future games, as I have two tickets but typically only use 1.

Let me know if you can help me out.

Connections knows what day it is.

Come play trivia at The Haven in JP tonight at 7PM!

Last game I watched was the Pats/Eagles Super Bowl (in which I was rooting for the Iggles in solidarity with my father and because we'd won enough, I thought).

I like the old one, personally, but also I have no skin in this game: I checked out on the NFL 7 years ago. Just can't support a sport that causes head trauma as a matter of routine to literally everybody who plays it.

FYI, @stabert.bsky.social, the "guy hiking the football" is Pat Patriot.

And the "modern, more geometric" patriot is generally known as the Flying Elvis. 😂

huh. would have lost that bet. 🤷

I'd bet good money they gave to Cuomo too.

It was at this moment he knew... these people will get me killed

Interesting experiment: Jeannie Johnston is doing happy hour #trivia at 4:30 on Fridays.

Really good option for school teachers and others who are big nerds but can't make it out to bars late at night!

Would go well with the decor in my office.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

It started out as just the truck before expanding into brick and mortar spots.

Mildly surprised that you weren't familiar with Cookie Monstah already, @stabert.bsky.social... Surely you've seen this truck around town in your time here? Maybe just didn't make the connection in the moment. 🤷

We need community notes here to clarify that in fact Michelle Wu ended his campaign

Sounding like some major swatting going on at UMass Boston: Several calls/reports of gunfire, students cowering in a Science Center classroom, gunshots at the campus Dunks, BC High. So far no victims, no evidence of gunfire. BC High was put in lockdown, but again, no gunfire or anything there.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Well deserved after their moment of silence honoring a nazi.

😍

Geographically closer, maybe? Like "you don't have to go to the big city, we have state of the art* techniques right here in Mansfield!"

*State of the art a decade ago

What better way to end your weekend than trivia at The Haven? Come on down and prove how smart you are!

This map from Reddit seems about right to me... you'll note Stoneham (and Melrose) are undefined, neither in North Shore nor any other grouping. 🤷

I probably would, but I am sympathetic to the argument that it's a bit far inland for that... What I can't abide is grouping it with "Metro West" which it's nowhere near: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetroWest
