So grateful to @mayorwu.boston.gov’s toy drive for focusing on our @bhaboston.bsky.social kids! Happy holidays and thank you to all the toy donors (the Boston Building Trades, AFSCME 93, Fidelity, Amazon, Ace Ticket) and all our city partners!

The holidays get a little brighter each year when we work with our partners to distribute thousands of toys to kids across Boston. This year, we distributed more than 2,000 toys across seven sites! 🧸❤️

Boston Mayor's Office Statement on Property Value Certification
Text: Boston Mayor's Office Statement on Property Value Certification We thank the MA Department of Revenue for their diligent work at this time of year to certify property valuations for all the municipalities across the Commonwealth. Now that the valuations for Boston’s 180,000+ parcels have been confirmed, we can say with certainty that unless the state legislature takes action on Boston’s residential tax relief home-rule petition, the average single family homeowner’s tax bill will go up by another 13% next year, with many households having even higher increases than the average. This will mean that under state law, Boston residents will have seen their taxes go up by 34% since 2023, with eight straight years of increases over 5%. This is unacceptable and deeply destabilizing for our residents and for the businesses they run, work in, and shop at. We urge swift passage of this legislation before tax bills go out in January.

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.

Amazing to see the aurora over Boston right now! Go outside and look north through your phone’s photo lens if you don’t see it with the naked eye.

Not much the Bible says more clearly than “Feed My Sheep.”
Matthew 25:41-46 New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” 44 Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” 45 Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

From @theathletic.com: A year after the Dodgers embarrassed them in the World Series, the Yankees came up even smaller in the 2025 MLB Playoffs. This was supposed to be their time. Instead, it will be a golden opportunity missed, our columnist writes.
Why the Yankees just wasted a golden opportunity they’ll never get back
A year after the Dodgers embarrassed them in the World Series, seizing upon their flaws, the Yankees came up even smaller vs. the Blue Jays.

When they held 3 public meetings in 24 hours to kill late-night-T in 2016, I testified against the cancellation. It felt like shouting into the wind. So grateful for Phil Eng’s @mbta.com leadership — & for @wutrain.bsky.social’s constant advocacy. Public transit helps people and businesses flourish!

Arriving soon: a more frequent T, extended weekend service, and a month of fare-free T across all lines on weekend nights! Plus buses arriving every 15 minutes for some of our most popular routes, including the always-free 23 & 28 bus 🙌
Boston Globe headline with photo of Red Line commuters. MBTA to extend subway service by about an hour on Friday and Saturday nights By Jaime Moore-Carrillo and Sadaf Tokhi Globe Staff and Globe Correspondent, Updated August 12, 2025, 8:46 p.m. The MBTA announced Tuesday that it would extend service on all subway lines "by about one hour" on Fridays and Saturdays starting Aug. 24. Trains now typically begin their final runs between midnight and 1 a.m. The agency also plans to lengthen nighttime service for select buses and ferries, including three Silver Line routes. Most MBTA buses operate between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m., according to the agency; some start earlier or end later. And for one month beginning in September, all service after 9 p.m. will be free on Friday and Saturday nights. Subway Frequency Improvements This Fall Beginning August 24: • Red Line frequency will improve every day with the number of weekday trips increasing by 3% and the time between trains during peak hours on weekdays decreasing by about 30 seconds. • Orange Line frequency will improve every day due to taster observed turnaround times with the new car fleet. The number of weekday trips will also increase by 9% with the time between trains during peak hours on weekdays decreased by about 30 seconds. • Blue Line frequency will improve slightly on weekdays. Bus Service Improvements This Fall Beginning August 24, notable bus upgrades this fall include: • Route 1, 15, 22, 23, 28, 31: These six routes will become Frequent Bus Routes with service every 15 minutes or better all day, every day during operating hours. • Route 15: Service will extend past St. Peter's Square to Fields Corner Station for all trips.

Sox 2, Yankees 1 (11). Narváez walks it off with a wall ball.

Sox (35-26) have won three straight for the first time since April 26-29 and five of six overall. 3-1 vs. the Yankees this season.
