I may "live under a rock" but so do some of the best people* I know.

*people may be ants in this case

@Shanmonster

sigh (that is always tough)

and that’s nice and all but I still make my students push in their chairs even on the last day of classes… not quite the same but …

@Ambulocetus no it was an adult and brown with no black or red.

@gay_ornithischians

It's not "most" it's just that five or six like that is too many.

(blackfolks try to pull this too which is... remarkable... what are you doing??)

@Scmbradley

it was “done” in 2007 it’s old news and the downtown looks amazing for it!

@parsingphase no just a regular one

@numist @steve @CowboyWho

oh well then we will all just jump up and down on the cross bronx expressway overpasses until the earthquake scientists get upset and demand its buried properly (or deleted)

@babelcarp

leave us alone— we are trying

@steve @CowboyWho

An over-budget engineering project! I have never heard of such a thing!

IDK sounds like they overpromised and low-balled to get it to a point of no return and that is sometimes the only way to do big projects? It’s not like there isn’t anything else interesting in the city to talk about.

I assume it was good “economic stimulus” too? But mostly… it’s just really old news by now— In NYC we have the second ave subway which still isn’t done, and I HOPE no one walks visitors around weeping about it— it is very upsetting, yes, but it is not easy to dig holes under big living cities. I’m impressed that Boston did it in the end.

Anyway. Just a thought.

This is a humble comment for the people of Boston. I don’t know if you realize this, but the tourist experience in your city seems to revolve almost entirely around the Big Dig. (everyone mentions it in tours) Someone visiting from the other side of the world, with little prior knowledge of Boston, might come away thinking the city is defined by a construction project. And no one talks about how it made the city better? Just “it was so expensive!” Ok. But the city is so quaint and walkable.

@christopherbrown @alexwild No need to tag me for Alex’s photos I never miss those.

I suppose it must be a terrible thing to be so totally abandoned and ostracized from what you thought was your special superior in-group. But I want to insist it is still *more* terrible to have your family broken apart or to yourself be dead.

@chu

I’d expect showing it to them would be like a jumpscare. Which is why I lug it around hoping for such opportunities…

@DrHyde

The tour guide said it’s the longest ship in active service? But I don’t know if that is just mythological history or factual. Would love to know.

@BenAveling @billiglarper

It’s like an empathy stress test.

@volcano Yes it is the big ocean liner that came over from London.
