In some circles "woke" has become equated with doing something purely symbolic or performative. It seems redundant to say that about public art though, obviously.

Reply to Any Mexican restaurants that serve a "Speedy Gonzalez" or similar dishes? Not much a fan of Boston's many taqueria/burrito line Mexican spots. by MediocreResident0
Cantina La Mexicana in Union Sq Somerville had a plate just like that, but I haven't been there in a dozen years so I don't know their current menu.
Ixtapa Cantina, which has several locations, makes a good enchilada plate too.

How would you know? I think everyone has gotten Covid at least once at this point.

I just don't understand what pattern of handling violence is that they are complaining about. Knowing how each of the various stabbings has been handled would provide more insight, but the article doesn't go into that.

This is absurd. It's almost 2023. If the troopers have natural immunity, which they almost certainly do, they should be allowed back.

Why bother building an island? In 20 years when all the world's coastal and island airports are under water, it might all be sea planes anyway.

Also a good place to give an offshore invasion fleet the "all clear" signal.
We should be preparing for a "two lantern" situation.

Oh right! The real Kells in now a generic Tavern of the Square. Although I was probably thinking of "The Secret of the Kells" which is an excellent children's movie!

I see the Kells has been replaced by the Dubliner, but don't know if it's any good.

The thread counter says there are 9 comments but I can only see 3 of them. Presumably, the other 6 are just too positive.

Didn't Biden just pardon everyone? I don't think the Feds do much these days beyond confiscate. What would even be the point if they will just be pardoned?

Fine, stay out in the country and get a job repairing wheat threshers if that's how you want to live. We'll see who has the most limbs still attached in the long run. (It's probably a coin toss.)

This is why Texans and Bostonians can't get along. Also, maybe that one song doesn't help.

Ever heard the expression "bad cases make bad law"?
Maybe as an addendum we could add: "freak accidents make for bad insurance coverage examples."

Harvard is getting a bit more selective. These days you really want to have a few war crimes under your belt to really stand out from the competition.
