I saw the Cambridge Starter Pack to help make Bluesky more hyperlocal and got v jealous, so I made a Somerville version for people who live in/talk about Somerville.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Some gelato shops make batches that are only a quart or two, so it kind of depends on the shop.

I regret to inform you it's too big to be cute, octopus or not!

The story of this flavor is 11 years ago when we were opening I was going to make salted caramel bourbon, but 1) this is Somerville so we say salty instead and 2) I didn’t have time to make caramel so I just tried it this way and it turns out you don’t need it.

No shade to Kander, but we have the biggest scandal in presidential history at least once a week.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever's in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Do you know about how when my pickle ice cream was on Chronicle the host tried some in the shop and said she liked it. Then on TV she savaged it with the cohost. I felt so betrayed.
