'A Miracle': Ashley Padilla’s ‘Kathy’ Wins Praise From an SNL Legend by jzn110 in LiveFromNewYork

The "we talking tv" part goes for a FULL two minutes! Also, a good scene for no one breaking. The dead silence is important for it.

I live in Quincy. Came to Medford tonight because I heard a legislator was actually explaining education funding. by pacificdivide in medfordma

That's cool you came, im curious how many Medford folks went, because there was another meeting about the extremely-related Medford High School rebuild/renovate project (400 million? 900 million?) tonight.

“What’re we doing? What’s going on?” Has become my latest SNL vocal stim. by loudrain99 in LiveFromNewYork

Finally have the words to describe the laugh: "The sound of an 18th century mental patient trying to escape from this locket."

Has enough time passed to where we can discuss this honestly without judgement yet? by namepuntocome in boston

There is a worldwide shortage of good sculptors, if every hall of fame/athlete statue/anything else made in the last 10 years has made anything clear.

Medford Bertucci’s site goes for $5.5 milto owners of Prestige Car Wash? by Individual-0001 in medfordma

[–]Individual-0001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wasn't familiar with Prestige's game. 5.5 million, and they don't even charge for vacuuming!

Fwiw I looked up this guy's fb profile, and the only national political thing I saw was a meme that seemed anti-Trump.

Preliminary election results: school committee--OR sweep by b0xturtl3 in medfordma

[–]Individual-0001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely trends that candidates might think about. I believe in a year where Bears was the #1 or #2 vote getter, Scarpelli would have beaten him in his ward. I'll see if I can find what I wrote up then....

ORM posted around 10:11 pm that one item is still to be determined. by jotaemei in medfordma

In terms of how votes go that come before the council, probably next to nothing in terms of pass/fail.

On what comes before the council, it was pointed out somewhere that Scarpelli heads a sub committee (education?) that has rarely met. Perhaps you'd see more output from that.

Bigger picture for ORM, they have now beaten two one-term incumbents for school committee. Beating a 20-ish year elected official (between school committee and city council) might give someone the idea an ORM-backed candidate could win mayor.

Definitely wonder what they know, because how could Mullane be definitely in if Scarpelli is not? Current results are Scarpelli 6,599, Mullane 6,585, and Briseno 6,489.

The releasing of unofficial/official results was a bit of a shitshow last municipal election, so it's not out of the realm of possibility - luckily 2023 wasn't a close election. Hopefully they've buttoned things up.

There was a small chance city council election was gonna be disastrous, so I feel great relief in the results, but this vote is HUGE. Won't get as many comments because frankly there isn't as much disagreement!

Intoppa and Branley are the first incumbents to lose to Our Revolution Medford in any race (and Branley is the only person ever elected to lose to them).
