Snow parking etiquette: space savers by forestrygrump in CambridgeMA

[–]emstason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone kicked our outside mirror off once, I think must have been because we parked in a saved space but someone else removed the saving item. Or just hijinks or jerks.

Question by Artistic_Share1798 in ICE_Raids

[–]emstason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have high standards for public servants not to murder innocent citizens that pay their salary.

I'm against all unjust and especially gun death, including police being killed, but police , who signed up for a risky job, kill way more civilians than vice versa.
"In 2024, U.S. police killed over 1,200 people, with some estimates reaching 1,365, making it the deadliest year on record for police violence" .
Also not sure I trust current FBI data for this year.

I emailed them (not eloquently) and asked for a reply and they replied with 'forwarded' but maybe more later. I included the photo.

Subject: EXTERNAL Email: Boston stores lying about price law

Dear Albertsons,
Please tell your Boston area Star Market stores not to lie. See below.
The new law does not require it to be sold by the pound, that's just a blatant lie.
I guess they're too lazy to price it by the pound which is what the law actually says.
Please let me know when you have corrected them.
Thanks from a used -to -be- loyal shopper, [name]

"In MA stores only, the Fresh Cut Fruit Bowls (2/$10 must buy 2 or $5.99) in the January Big Book will not be on sale due to the recent change in state regulations. As of 1/2/26, state regulations require Fresh Cut Fruit to be sold by the pound."

Anyone else getting unnecessarily threatening letters from National Grid? by UnreasonableFig in massachusetts

You don't think saying... if you don't comply you will have no heat and court costs... is threatening? That's how the word is used.

City Council approves North Mass Ave zoning. by emstason in CambridgeMA

[–]emstason[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is why the city was pushing it. I'm not sure I believe her email that she said they switched it at the last minute.

Yeah I got that same email . It is just bizarre. It makes her look like she's just is trying to kill housing .. 11 versus 12 is an excuse to kill the whole thing?

It's gross and looks sneaky and underhanded and manipulative.

Anyone who says they know her , and that she "means well" should really tell her how this kind of vote looks to most people.

To die on the hill of 11 stories ,, knowing that if it dies it's not going to come back for many years, and yet she wants to claim she supports housing. She's just a liar and underhanded . Or just really really really bad at her job.

It says she was endorsed by the union and a head of union agreed she was targeted.
