Re: Boston

#Boston

Boston has 4 seasons, something that I was not used to in Chicago, where there are two seasons: winter and fixing-the-roads.

But:

  • It's expen$ive.
  • The streets were laid out by inebriated bovines.
  • The pot holes, in the winter, have been known to consume entire Mini Coopers.
  • Much housing is old, crude and expensive.
  • Every two years or so, they fix the MBTA (nee MTA -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Jw_v3F_Q0) ‘once and for all’. Hah!
  • If NASCAR were really serious about threatening the lives of their drivers, to create excitement, they’d race on Storrow drive.
  • Boston is only at it’s best underground, in its 4 major tunnels (except in 2006!).

“Operation #DyingEmber was an international effort led by #FBI #Boston to remediate over a thousand compromised routers belonging to unsuspecting victims here in the United States, and around the world that were targeted by malicious, nation state actors in #Russia to facilitate their strategic intelligence collection,” said Special Agent in Charge Jodi Cohen of the FBI Boston Field Office. “The FBI’s strong partnerships with the private sector were critical to identifying and addressing this threat which targeted our national security interests here and abroad. This #operation should make it crystal clear to our adversaries that we will not allow anyone to exploit our #technology and networks.”

Sticker shock: MBTA says nearly $25 billion needed to repair aging system

That cost includes only repairs and not any upgrades to the system
Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton also issued a statement Thursday calling the T's announcement "the honest assessment we've been waiting for." He added that "$24.5 billion is a big number, but it’s not shocking given the accumulation of decades of under-investment."

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands Attend FREE #Palestine #Rally in #Boston

I would like to add two points

1) In #Germany, rallies and demonstrations are prohibited.
people who would demonstrate are beaten up.
look here

2) I am very glad that it is young people who are standing up here and thus providing proof
that young people are not completely jaded.

⚠️BREAKING REPORT - Children's National Hospital admits in damning audio recording that they do “gender affirming” hysterectomies on minors including 16-year-olds and “younger kids”

How can it be legal for these doctors to be mutilating children?? 😠 Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), ranked the number one children’s hospital in the United States, touted “gender-affirming hysterectomies” in a video even though the patients it sees are children and young adults up to the age of 21.

My oh my.... no idea why the YT algorithm gods took me here - unless it was my recent virtual air tour over Moloka'i.
A song about "dirty water", actually. And specifically, it seems, the water of Boston. A song before my time, & for most of us.

Boston - Charles River

I have definitely not heard or seen this one in many years. But.. actually, ahead of their time! Oh that Dirty Water!

The Standells - Dirty Water (Boston Montage)

Maybe someone's class project for science? (Plus a tribute to Boston &/or a put-down in the song too.)
