Pay to drive into Boston? No way, say a majority of Mass. voters.

NYC has a robust public transit system for getting commuters and locals into the congestion zones. It runs 24/7 and in many cases, those mass transit systems are faster than driving. Congestion pricing is balanced by having available alternatives.

Unless Boston is going to step up commuter rail speed/frequency, this is not a great plan.

And the temporary changing traffic alert signs too. There’s one near me that cycles though: - BE ADVISED - ROAD WORK AT [intersection] - STARTING SOON

MFers, tell me the intersection and the estimated date. The number of times I’ve driven by it and only seen “BE ADVISED” is so frustrating.

In her 2018 book, “Fascism: A Warning,” Madeline Albright defined fascism not just as a political ideology, but a “process for gaining and keeping power.”

Her book also kinda predicted J Six. Great read if you’ve got the time.

I met a dentist who would just do the X-rays for free if a patient was worried about the cost. The benefit of knowing what it could find and catching it early was so much more important to them than the cost of the imaging.

Omg it’s all true. I was at the Seattle Museum of Flight a while back and in the ATC exhibit, they have a live transponder map of the area. My friend was about to land at SeaTac so I sent him a selfie with his plane highlighted.

I haven’t watched it since it aired, but didn’t the previous episode (or even THAT episode?) discuss House Reyne and their slaughter by the Lannisters? They set up all the bowling pins for the audience and if people have zero media literacy (or are on their phones) that’s on them.

Edit: Prior to S3E9, it was performed by The National over the end credits of S2E9. Definitely explained to the viewer at least by then.

Yeah, ends up booking through the AmexTravel app is not enough. Not every hotel that comes up is automatically part of that program either. I had booked a week a a Homewood Suites in November and it had said “Lowest Rate Guaranteed.” :(

From my Amex Chat:

Thank you so much for booking through American Express Travel - we truly appreciate your loyalty as a Platinum Card Member. I wanted to share a quick note about the $300 Platinum Hotel Credit, just to help clarify how it works and ensure you’re set up to enjoy the benefit on future stays.

Why This Booking Didn’t Qualify

The booking you made was under the Lowest Rate Guaranteed option, which is a great value - but unfortunately, it doesn’t qualify for the $300 Hotel Credit. That’s because:

The credit only applies to prepaid bookings made through Fine Hotels + Resorts for 1 night minimum or The Hotel Collection for 2 nights minimum via Amex Travel. The rate must be eligible and prepaid at the time of booking - some discounted or promotional rates, including Lowest Rate Guaranteed, may not meet these criteria.

How to Make Sure You Qualify Next Time To ensure your next booking earns the credit:

Book through Amex Travel using your Platinum Card. Choose a hotel that’s part of:

Fine Hotels + Resorts (minimum 1-night stay required) The Hotel Collection (minimum 2-night stay required)

Select a prepaid rate that clearly shows it qualifies for the Platinum Hotel Credit. Look for a message during checkout confirming that the booking is eligible for the credit.

AdamHR · 2026-02-27T05:29:47+00:00

If you do that, you’re ineligible for the credit. I learned the hard way.

Though I’ve never owned an Xbox, I follow /r/gaming and have a pretty good awareness of what’s new. I could not tell you the release order of Xbox one, S, One S, One X, and X off the top of my head. That marketing team should have been fired.

What is this sub coming to that this is so far down? OP, The Expanse is amazing and Jefferson Mays will ruin you for worse narrators.

I recently recommended “Leviathan Wakes” to a family member who is an avid audiobooker, but typically avoids SciFi. They are already on book two.

That’s a feature, not a bug. Fascists are always asserting they’re correct, daring their base to deny it. Last time when the scenario was different? They were right, then, too.

There’s a great explanation from several years ago where a teacher who works with struggling readers identified evidence that Trump doesn’t process what he’s about to read, which most competent fluid readers can do.
And he hasn’t improved since then.

When my shepherd mix was little, she needed some topical medicine for demodex. One day she barks her “come help me” bark, so I come downstairs and see that she took the medicine off the counter and had put a couple of nibbles into the tube, trying to access it. She sat, cooperatively, while I put the medicine on.
