Oh boy. The time a younger dumber version of myself thought doing a wheelie past the transit cop would be good GoPro footage. It was instead a fairly expensive ticket and tow 🤣

Seems crazy that someone with a kid on the lacrosse team couldn’t go watch them play. I played in college and we always played outside, even in February

Honestly, you should check out some very basic self defense classes in the area.
I’m a woman and I go to a local Jiu Jitsu dojo (it’s 50% women) and have learned a ton already on how to stop / seriously deter getting picked up.
Biggest one is when you feel that grab come on, widen your stance and settle your weight down low. Even tiny people are significantly harder to move. Think about a dog when having to be dragged to a bath tub. This will at the very least give you enough time to scream and/or deter the attacker some - maybe even enough to leave as they realize it wasn’t going to be as easy as they expected.

Fish Field House doesn’t have stands for fans. They’ll move to Alumni Stadium or somewhere else open to fans soon once the weather improves.

Yeah, this might shock you, but driving under the influence isn’t really one of the options in play here

He was taken to a hospital instead of jail, which means he is probably pretty seriously mentally ill.

The Gardner museum and the heritage museum on cape cod. You must take the cape cod tunnel. It is really a beautiful work of engineering.

They pay their employees in fake money too. Just numbers on a computer.

It is because they are a bad university run by bad administrates employing bad faculty and "educating" bad students.

I don’t want to sound callous but whoever that was earned themselves a Darwin award. Are you familiar with Downtown Crossing? You would literally have to jump down onto the active train tracks in order to touch the third rail. It’s nonsensical that anyone would put themselves in that position.

The witch stuff in Salem, though sometimes informative, tends to be kitschy. The House of the Seven Gables might be more interesting to you. Also, the Peabody-Essex Museum, while having a lot of art, also has the Yin Yu Tang House, a large 18th century Chinese house that was disassembled, shipped to Salem, and reassembled there.
Personally, I prefer the Lowell National Historical Park. It’s a collection of old water-powered textile mills, some of which still operates and is demonstrated. There’s a museum with more info about that period as well as about the early labor movement. The guided tour is worth the extra expense. You can get there by commuter rail, then either a walk about a mile to the Park, or bus/Lyft/Uber. For both this and Salem, make sure you understand the commuter rail schedule.

Those of us who have lived here forever know this. I did 25 minutes this morning at 5 am. Didn’t make a dent.

Yes. Inevitable to a degree regardless of what we do. It’s just a part of life and it’s ridiculous to complain about.
Soon you’ll see posts from peoples whose feelings are hurt because someone at a red light in the financial district beeped their horn too quickly when the light turned green
