Yes, when I go to hear live music performed by some of the world’s most talented musicians I’m really hoping there’s an AI component.

A ★★★½ review of Cookie Queens (2026)This charming doc is able to discuss capitalism, economic opportunity and lack thereof, class and culture, all through the lens of four Girl Scouts families. The scenes, photography, and camera framin...boxd.itWorth noting that Swamscott enjoys some of the most frequent headways that exist on the MBTA Commuter rail.
Gravel InfluencerTwo months after a cyclist was killed on the Lynnway, leaders in Swampscott, Marblehead, and Nahant want to form a coalition to fight a much-needed safety re-design because residents are worried about their commute times. There is no mention in the article of the June death.
'This morbid lie of showing "concern" for children vilifies them, and it's doing the single most damaging thing you can do to a child: telling them that who they are is shameful, wrong, sinful, and that wanting community is dangerous and metaphorically illegal.'
Christopher WigginsThe moderators of the King George County Community Facebook page took a post about this story down and told me it’s because it is “stirring the pot.” Wouldn’t it be great if everyone on Bluesky saw this story in response to their censorship? www.advocate.com/opinion/king...

My kid is in a rare dual-track vocational + college prep program in high school. Teaching trades is important and good. Steering kids to trades while underfunding public education in order to reify a caste system that benefits the rich and powerful is not. Guess which one Linda McMahon is doing.
Seth CotlarIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
I don’t pretend to know how this state senate primary is going to go, but I do get the feeling that Mike Rush is not winning Wu’s home precinct. She won 7:1 against Kraft last year in 18-10! Signs don’t vote, but the lefty Roslindale base isn’t behind an anti-choice “Blue Dog” Dem in 2026.
TravisThis just popped up in my feed and it’s giving such “Bill Linnehan for City Council President” vibes. She really is ideologically confounding in so many ways.
This is the same tactic police departments will use as cities and towns ban Flock cameras. Cite a single crime and claim they’re handcuffed by the loss of surveillance technology, despite little evidence to show that tech would have prevented it.
gbhnewsCity Council voted 6-3 Monday to temporarily reinstate ShotSpotter while planning to create a panel of residents to consider whether the city should continue using the technology. https://bit.ly/4fPV8cN
The level of courage, sacrifice, and moral rectitude that the Bridges family summoned is stunning. I mention it often when talking to white parents about sending their 5yo to an integrating, global-majority school. No amount of culture shock discomfort can compare to what the Bridges family faced.
Mychal ThreetsWe rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨
(Never forget that we DID have a proven policy to increase diversity at exam schools but scrapped most of it because a handful of parents got really upset.)
Boston Public Schools@bostonschools.boston.gov is excited to celebrate the second annual Exam School Initiative (ESI) Summer Program Student Showcase! The Exam School Initiative (ESI) is an equity initiative to increase diversity in our three exam schools. This summer, 200-plus students participated in ESI programming.
