Boston needs to ban right on red. It really pushes the balance of the streets to pedestrians and makes intersections much safer. Cambridge did this.

The Associated Press has called the 27th Middlesex House race in favor of Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven, who faced a challenge from Kathleen Hornby. #mapoli

Something ugly is happening in Massachusetts these days. When our leaders can find the will to cut taxes for the rich while failing to protect vital social supports like hospitals in low-income communities (or the right to shelter), we need to consider voting for better leaders.

At a reception in Jamaica Plain, Allison Cartwright declares victory in the race for SJC clerk in Suffolk County. #mapoli #bospoli

Fantastic news! The idea that unaccountable incumbent politicians in Mass. are undefeatable is an illusion. It's an uphill battle, yes, but one worth taking up. #mapoli

For as boring and inconsequential many Massachusetts primaries are, there are a lot of exciting and interesting results tonight that people should pay attention to. #mapoli

Wow. Good #mapoli primary outcomes tonight! Let's primary more incumbents.

For AFAR Media, I wrote about five cool *car-free* ways to immerse yourself in New England’s fall foliage. Because seriously; why gawk at all those leaves through a car window? afar.com/magazine/fall-…

Argentine news outlets are reporting on a rumor that a person who paid 85,000 dollars to look like an elf (known as "Elfo") has access to scandalous material collected by one of Javier Milei's legislators. This has led to headlines like "The elf who keeps Milei's darkest secrets"

After Carney Hospital closed "Guy Fish, says his team has received no meaningful government support as they brace for a surge in demand. "Let me be very frank: The sudden absence of ER level 4 and level 5 services means that people will die," he told the News Service's" #mapoli

The shutdowns are unfortunate and the result of passing the buck for decades. But something we are seeing with these shutdowns now under Eng is actual results when they are over. The only way out is through. This is what happens when you hire a person with actual rail experience.

I'm grateful that TIME's AI 100 list offers a concise portrait of the generative AI industry, and who the technology is being developed by, and for: The ultrarich. The list was hotly debated yesterday; these lists always are. My biggest concern is that it is entirely accurate.
