🔬New paper! This has been my personal favorite project I’ve ever done - also, the only one that the President of the United States has tried to destroy by 100% defunding our lab & institution. Please enjoy: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #drosophila #proventriculus #preprint

One of the best things about living in New England is about to get dramatically worse. Horrible news

Trendlines: With Arthur T. Demoulas out as CEO, it’s a reasonable bet that 10 years from now, maybe sooner, Market Basket will be controlled not by the Demoulas family, but by a private equity firm or another grocery-store operator, writes @GlobeNewsEd. trib.al/rCjj7BO

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Maggie Haberman@maggieNYT
In private, Trump has said in conversations that Gaetz has less than even odds of getting confirmed. But he's pushing ahead, making calls and sticking with him in a move that speaks volumes about his second-term mindset @jonathanvswan me nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/…

🤯Unreal…for the second time this week, I’m posting a video of jaw-dropping progress for safer streets: the new bike lanes on Washington St. are like a dream come true. This ride is from Beacon up towards Union Square, ending right at the Argenziano School. @SomervilleInfr1

🟩paint coming soon on Summer Street, but you can see the connectivity for the new cycle track heading west on Summer Street and then making a right on Central Street. #bikenetwork

The new protected bike lanes on Summer St. and Central St. are really extraordinary. Very much still under construction, but this gives a taste of what safe neighborhood cycling will be as our bike network continues to expand. @SomervilleInfr1 @SomervilleCity

Great save by Ladder 3!!! Rescuing a victim over the stick from floor 3 on arrival
Group 4 on duty

This morning @somfdlocal76 responded to a building fire on Raymond Ave, on arrival companies had heavy smoke and fire showing and a 2nd alarm was ordered, followed quickly by the 3rd alarm. A victim was rescued via Ladder 3's aerial from the 3rd floor, and transported to an area hospital. Conditions started to deteriorate rapidly and companies went into a defensive posture. Crews battled the stubborn fire well into the afternoon, with a majority of the 3rd-floor roof caving in. The cause of the fire is now under investigation. boston492.smugmug.com/Emergency-Inci…

“This is a city that really gives a shit about each other, cares about each other, loves each other, and we’re going to figure out what the work is that needs to get done, and we’re going to do it together.”
Hell yes, @BenForWard3.
