Everything you write is so absurdly idiotic that I’m now convinced it’s just bad, poor-taste satire.

One important thing they do is address people who wander onto tracks. Sometimes drunk or high but also suicidal people. If you see someone on the tracks call 617-222-1212.

To anyone who doesn’t have a NYT subscription, “policing as we know it must be abolished before it can be transformed.” The article isn’t about permanently abolishing police. Americans have actually been talking about the “bad apples” in the police force since at least Prohibition. It’s evidently not working.

Narcolepsy is a reason to not hire someone in the first place, but the Union has a policy against firing someone for having a medical diagnosis of narcolepsy. It's the same with any union job. That's why he had a desk job and wasn't driving around.

An acquaintance of mine just had their entire windshield cracked up (thankfully he is safe) from someone’s car that was not cleaned off while on the highway. Definitely worth doing even if you don’t think the amount of snow/ice on your car is “that much”

Fair enough. Like I was explaining to an irate fellow commuter couple months back about that - this is the symptoms of a society that allowed the Opioid Crisis, and didn't place a serious commitment to mental health. (obviously there's a whole cocktail of contributing factors, but those seem the top two).
I deal with the homeless pretty much daily coming and going through there. I don't like it anymore than anyone else.
It's a goddamn shame, but the real solutions apparently are out of reach of our state and city officials, no?

I believe they have more jurisdiction than any other police force but not payed as well as the others

The Boston Calendar does weekly lists. You can sometimes find good ideas in Boston Magazine, too.
This town has sorely needed an arts and entertainment-focused publication since the Boston Phoenix folded (a decade ago now). That was the go-to place for listings (and also thoughtful reviews) for many years. May it RIP along with the Improper Bostonian and the Weekly Dig.

Been skiing all my life, moved 10 min from Blue Hills, figured I’d get a few days in… still waiting.

Here is just the dashboard

It's pretty useless, the conclusion is that we already knew the trips were hugely delayed with trains just moving at a slow crawl, sucks to be using the Red Line from JFK/UMass, that's got the single biggest delay.

>Not sure why you got the downvotes.
Probably from people that have been harassed by the problem homeless that they would have loved to have already had been removed by transit police

Then that sucks. Im sorry that happened. I had a silver line driver miss his turn TWICE. And then just let us off on the loop road by Terminal A

I assumed they meant the part about there being no appetite for them to be there
