    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    That's what I thought at first, but then I looked more closely on Google Maps. We're not losing much by tearing down the boring-looking building that's already there.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    Thank you F-line for perfectly expressing why so many people are fed up with the left, and they're willing vote for a fascist con-man.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    Well, some move over to the GOP, while others simply don't vote. Look at the results of the 2020 election vs 2024: Democratic Joe Biden Kamala Harris 81,283,501 51.3% 306 / 538 Republican Donald Trump Mike Pence 74,223,975 46.9% 232 / 538 Republican...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I'm fully aware of the Tim Pools of the world, but that doesn't change the fact that the Dems still do things that turn voters off to their main message.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I've had a few nights to sleep on his and something about the last sentence of your last paragraph has really gotten to me. To be fair, your view that I will vote for Vance in the future PERFECTLY illustrates what I was trying to say about liberal gatekeeping. I've been voting since 1996 and I...

    I had a much longer response, but I decided to delete it. However, I just wanted to say that there's no fucking way I'd ever vote for Vance.

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I can't in good faith argue that allowing transgirls and women to participate in sports against biological girls and women is the equivalent to the civil rights movement or the fight for gay marriage. It's a far more nuanced issue than that. The right of trans adults to be able to exist and...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I think the issue runs deeper than what’s immediately visible. Whether we like it or not, people often vote based on social and cultural issues that touch their everyday lives. When many voters see debates around this topic, they interpret it as part of a broader cultural shift they’re...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    He took a position that most Americans (and most of the world) support. To continue to push this idea that natal-boys (trans girl/woman) don't have some biological advantages over girls and women is preposterous. There have been many solutions to this issue, some of them pushed by more moderate...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    I'd hardly say he threw trans people under the "proverbial train." He simply stated his discomfort with allowing trans girls/women to play competitive sports with natal girls and women, a position that is only controversial within certain circles of the far left. He's been a champion for LGBTQ...

    Massachusetts 2026 Congressional elections

    On paper, he's a good candidate. Iraq war vet. Helps with veterans issues. Liberal but not stupid-liberal. But he's got the personality of a bag of chips and that's going to hurt him.

    Skylines and Developments of the US/World

    Had a date night with MrsDee54321 and was able to snap a few shots of the world's second tallest building, Merdeka 118 (and a few other places). If you look closely at one of the shots, you'll see a cool rainbow that appeared after a storm.

    Saugus Developments

    I grew up in Massachusetts' Mecca for Chinese food, Billerica, so I was used to a certain taste. The first time I went to Kowloon in my early 20s, I remember being profoundly disappointed at how tasteless the food actually was. To be fair, I felt the same way on my first trips to Shang Hai and...

    Saugus Developments

    Maybe the new, scaled-down restaurant will finally make food that doesn't taste like paper.

    Kenmore Square North (WHOOP) | 533-541 Commonwealth Ave | Fenway

    Smells like tacos all the time? Is supposed to be a good or bad thing? I can't tell.

    Everett Docklands Innovation District | 52 Beacham Street | Everett

    I read stuff like this and I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist. If we can't fund and build a couple-mile-long extension to a BRT line, there's no way we made it to the moon in '69 ;)

    Everett Docklands Innovation District | 52 Beacham Street | Everett

    Sorry to go off on a tangent here, but this struck me as crazy: Silver Line Extension Cost: $100M (including $28M for Lower Broadway Improvements). Funding: Partially identified. Timeline: No service date identified in writing, but MBTA planners estimate start of service in 2036. Key public...

    Report: Celtics to look into building new arena

    My alma mater Quinnpiac built their hockey and basketball arenas next to each other in the same building. I guess if you wanted to put it next door it could work, but I just don't see that ROI would be all that good. Does the area need another 20,000 seat arena? Both arenas would need to fill...

    Massachusetts State Flag (we need a better state flag)

    One of my issues with the original flag was that there was so much empty space. The flag felt like it could be busier. The first two seem to have the same problem. The third one is okay, but I do wish we could have had one with a pine tree on it.
