Reply to comment by hour_of_the_rat in April 2023 issue of Boston Magazine honoring the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings by alanboston

It was just recently the 20Y anniversary of the Iraq invasion, clearly one of the greatest crimes of the century (when you go to the Security Council, get rejected, then still do it, I don't know what else to say), not widely covered in the media (PBS and Democracy Now had some time devoted to it, others I'm sure as well, specifically on the question: why did we do it -- to try to show we're still the superpower was the unfortunate answer from a top analyst)...still, your comment here is in poor taste.

Reply to comment by Juancho511 in It says every 10-14 mins, but I’ve been here 20+ mins. My morning commute is like 30 mins longer…what a bunch of bullshit. Can’t wait til this issue is a thing of the past. by Juancho511

I was waiting at Green St this past Saturday morning and some 10yo little girl went "Daddy, it's been saying 1 minute for 5 minutes now!...Now it says it's stopped!"

I was just laughing to myself thinking of Ernesto from Always Sunny: "I share this little girls pain."

Reply to comment by TurnsOutImAScientist in Dave Epstein's (@growingwisdom) Snow Forecast - he tends to be one of the more realistic forecasters. He's less about the drama and more about the science. by Lurchie_

Yeah, slush and shitty wind. Heavy, fluffy snow coming straight down with no wind for a good length of time is so rare in Boston that I vividly remember the last time it happened (though not the date...maybe 2 winters ago): I went to the arboretum and sat in the ash tree section for 2-3 hours, getting completely engulfed by the snow, then walked around for another hour or so. Nobody was there and it was stunningly gorgeous, serene, and pristine.

Reply to Does anyone know why Cafe Sushi is still takeout only? by [deleted]

Yeah, it's a bummer. I've been going there since around 2011 and it was my favorite. Great seasonal nigiri choices, very affordable chef's sushi lunch, etc. Haven't been since covid hit though because they haven't opened up for dine-in and I live in Boston so takeout isn't really an option.
