It's been hard to buy some decent snowflakes in Boston. A chance for a coating or so tomorrow, but if not measureable the city will move to 3rd longest streak on record. Last measureable snowfall in Boston was Feb 16th! #wbz

I’ve been getting a huge influx of spam the past couple of weeks, which is annoying enough on its own, but it’s infuriating me how many of these calls, texts, and emails are imitating government benefits including SNAP and heating payment relief. Just preying on people who already can’t afford it.

Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![Texas is not on “the eve of an election,” as was true in the
case the majority cites. Republican National Committee v.
Democratic National Committee, 589 U. S. 423, 424 (2020)
(per curiam); see ante, at 2. The election there was five days
after the injunction. Similarly, the election in Purcell was
“just weeks” away. 549 U. S., at 4. Here, Election Day is
eleven months from now. Even the primary election (which
Texas could change) is in March. The District Court care-
fully listed the various “election preparations” underway to
switch to the 2025 map. App. 144. On the other hand, the
court noted how the 2021 map—which the injunction rein-
stated—was, in a real sense, the status quo. See id., at 145.
Officials, candidates, and voters are all familiar with it from
the last two election cycles. Until late last summer, every-
one expected that map to govern 2026 too. And indeed, it
will be used in a special runoff election in the State’s largest
county on January 31, 2026. So, the District Court properly
concluded, “[a]n injunction in this case would not cause sig-
nificant disruption.” Id., at 144. Except to the extent all of
us live in election season all the time, the 2026 congres-
sional election is not well underway.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreifzzrhpyftoam4b4eqcpdcegf2hksn4ula6rwbtv6fqwviqfgikte@jpeg)

My uncle Kevin Hanley suffered a brain injury at birth in ‘46. Doctors told my grandmother to send him away and forget about her “mentally retarded” infant. She refused - Kev went on to HS, Special Olympics, worked at Stop & Shop in Quincy, lived independently. He was the light of our family.

I live by the end of the Orange Line, and for the first time ever, the lights that indicate which of the two parked trains will leave next lied to me. Waited on the other (with other people) as the other train left, then waited some more. I think this calls for an extension of the holiday weekend.

In high school I had a grocery store job that had a 45 minute Christmas playlist. On one of my longer Saturday shifts, I had to hear this cursed song 10-11 times. I still have a Pavlovian-esque response to it of rage.
Save your hate for Sir Paul McCartney and his Simply Terrible Christmas time please.
