#DearJeff indicates civic despair

October 17, 2017 By Charley on the MTA 10 Comments

Like many, I'm very cool to the idea of bringing Amazon to Boston. It solves none of the problems and needs we have, and indeed would exacerbate many of them. We don't need 50,000 new high tech jobs with six-figure salaries. We don't have … [Read more...]

Will Globe Keep Ignoring Columnist’s Blatant Conflicts of Interest?

August 18, 2015 By thegreenmiles 16 Comments

Globe Launches Monthly “Cranky Old Columnists Lecture Climate Activists” Series

June 16, 2015 By thegreenmiles 16 Comments

Alex Beam's latest column is titled "Divestment is an empty gesture," which is apt since Beam's entire effort is empty - Tom Keane wrote essentially the same column in the same space six weeks ago. What is it about the fossil fuel … [Read more...]

Everything that is right with Massachusetts and everything thats wrong with Massachusetts in one tweet. @livgust 's work is incredible, her spirit is the best of what we see in our community, but why wasn't the system she describes the original design from @MassGovernor? #mapoli https://twitter.com/livgust/status/1365741742943854595

Looking for funding to turn @macovidvaccines into an end-to-end registration system - MA residents register, we book an appt on their behalf. Let's even the playing field and allow those with fewer resources a fighting chance. DM me with leads, I have a proposal #covidma #mapoli

The climate leaders that have updated their emission pledges (NDCs) are on track to reduce GHG emissions 0.5% from 2010 to 2030.

According to SR15, 1.5°C requires a 45% drop in CO₂ emissions over that period (25% for <2°C).

These are climate leaders!

“The filibuster” is not an inanimate thing.

It’s 40+ human Senators choosing to do wrong.

Look, people confused Charlie Baker "not being Donald Trump" with "trustworthy verging on infallible."

Well gosh that was never true, to say the least. #StockholmSyndrome
