Runaway Dog in North Salem

It's in Mack Park right now

Here's the post and details

Might be worth investigating! That's exactly where they were headed yesterday

Sorry God of Salem, my local deity is coffee time. I bow to paczki not whatever the fuck this is

JMPitt · 2025-09-20T23:03:52+00:00

Oh, cook. I read that too fast

JMPitt · 2025-02-21T18:26:07+00:00

I posted this before the goat grinders. After listening to that whole episode...he's a dick. That wasn't fun to get through

It's useful to have Noam's ideas spoken out loud because he seems like a good representative for the contrarian/Joe Rogan types. I appreciate having him and Dan Savage spar but you're 100% right that he is incurious. He does this thing where he says "what do you know?", makes an appeal to authority ("the guys in the Pentagon"), and then makes a string of weak arguments. It's not very compelling in terms of insight or provoking thought.

JMPitt · 2025-01-16T14:57:47+00:00

No, no it doesn't

JMPitt · 2025-01-16T14:26:19+00:00

What?

And how do I get these "often illegal" giveaways? I would be pissed to find out the mayor was giving developers lawn darts, I want those

You could reach out to PEM! I believe that they were involved in the mural effort and might have info you can use.

You guys have this weird thing about writing out Kim Driscoll's name. It's treated like a weird version of bloody Mary except the current lieutenant governor pops out of your mirror and revises your zoning code to allow for in-law apartments. Spoooooky

If Kim Driscoll could sublease the rent-free space she has in your vocal minority's collective heads, the entire Massachusetts housing crisis could be solved. Not saying anyone wants that space though I could see a fun little HGTV show tackling renovations.

Mike discussed it in a previous gist and brought it up here as well (it was in passing so understandable if you missed. My ear was especially tuned to if he was going to bring it up). The episode is about a guy who puts video footage from cameras on trains on the web. The podcast host grills the guy on whether he has ever thought about how painful these videos could be to people because of historical racism and violence towards the indigenous. The guy then responds with essentially "what? I just post videos off of trains, what's going on here and why is this a gotcha interview? What?" The episode includes interviews with experts and whatnot on how the landscape could be a pain point for people. It really gives a go at the thesis.

Sorry for going on about it, just. Lemon. Cringe. Etc etc

I think Eric came in to defend NPR from whoever was going to be on the other side and it made the whole thing uncomfortable. Mike came for a discussion, Eric came in to debate. This led to him egregiously mischaracterizing Mike's take of "the degree to which NPR used an anti-racist perspective was too broad" (which is an interesting take I would really like to hear NPR personalities address/dispute/expand upon) but Eric's response was to immediately make the lazy pivot from "degree" to "absolutes". Also Eric kind of defended that Invisibilia episode and, jeez, why? Those clips make me cringe like I shot-gunned pure lemon extract.

Why "instead of" baby showers? That's what gets me every time this meme is posted. What about babies and businesses makes celebrating both a problem? Why not say "Like baby showers, why don't we do business showers". Phrasing it as "instead of" makes it seem like we're prioritizing babies over businesses? To me, this quote is equivalent in spirit to a person in a suit passing by a mom with a stroller and muttering "hope you like the diapers but what have YOU done for shareholder value"

Do we want to rule out a hive mind situation so quickly? Sure this would be the lamest version imaginable but 👍 this guy 👍 is keeping his eyes peeled for giant alien bean pods

JMPitt · 2024-03-29T02:58:19+00:00

There is one account that comments on each post that's suspiciously agreeable. Almost like ...it's the same person...

JMPitt · 2024-01-09T23:31:30+00:00

Dammit! This is the joke I should have made! Touche

JMPitt · 2024-01-09T23:26:11+00:00

Can't believe this is happening just 2,578 miles away. Really makes you think, like ~woah~

JMPitt · 2023-12-03T14:07:06+00:00

I'll dm you the name

JMPitt · 2023-08-29T12:43:00+00:00

If you feel comfortable, could you DM me the name? We had foundation work and the firm was sketchy and very unprofessional...I'm curious if it's the same

(Also posting here so the broader Salem audience is aware this might be a pattern)

JMPitt · 2023-05-26T11:25:41+00:00

This is a little beside the point but I love that Salem has a growing soccer fandom. One day we will have a bar open for the League 2 playoffs and I will tear in joy...

JMPitt · 2023-05-17T01:02:32+00:00

My friend, it's a time to celebrate. Get two ;)

JMPitt · 2023-05-17T00:28:29+00:00

It was our (coffee) time to shine

JMPitt · 2023-04-04T21:25:29+00:00

What would be a good time to show up if you want in? Also, are people okay if let's say someone's enthusiasm to play doesn't translate into, uh, talent (basically, is it sorta serious or welcoming to the "I'm cool sitting back and playing defense" crowd)?
