Somerville Youth Soccer starts games this weekend for the fall season!! Saturdays are for soccer. Win or lose, the kids deserve a treat for working hard and playing on a team, so bring’em by. Kids in game kit get 20% off a cone or cup all season long.

Maybe you're thinking, "I don't normally vote in municipal elections, but I would if it was easier." Good news! Apply here for your mail-in ballot. This app sends anyone in our great Commonwealth a mail-in ballot, but you won't be able to vote for Jessie unless you're Ward 3 Somerville.
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social)
Ward 3 pals, Jessie's running for school committee and her mailers went out last week. Look at them here! There's a forum tomorrow for the 3 school committee candidates in Ward 3. www.facebook.com/groups/somer...

Just so it's clear. No one can do a somersault. Like three people who aren't kids can.

Did you do one down a sand dune?
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
I reposted this because last night I kind of did an accidental somersault and then it hurt to turn my head in either direction. So can you do a somersault?
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reposted
Just wondering for those over 35, can you do a somersault? and if so, when was the last time you did one?

Not if I have anything to do with it. I think I made it one time after losing a bet to @winterhillbrewing.bsky.social, before I made almond joy after losing a similar bet. Gotta stop gambling with breweries, or this brewery anyway.

At least when eating the waxy cheese wrapper you knew you were doing something transgressive. Candy corn industry like, "Eat this bullshit and love it, pig." It's insulting to me as a person with autonomy.

People keep retweeting this and I keep having to see this guy's dumb fucking beard. I'm not saying it's your fault or there's anything you can do differently, but you do bear some responsibility for this happening and I hope the beard haunts you as well.

Only way to prevent this is if it happens overnight and we find out in the morning. Any time after say... 3pm and I'll know I'm in for it.

I don't know if it's school specific or city-wide, but I think it's partially about half the kids having to cross very busy streets to get home.

"The Trump family has hit the money jackpot for the second time this year, the first time being when he was inaugurated."
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social)
"The trading debut was most likely the biggest financial success for the president's family since the inauguration" is a very bad way for a journalist to describe the pathological corruption exclusive to this specific family.

Probably the reason people hate Boston is because they only get to celebrate one Christmas in December, but in Boston we get Allston Christmas, in September, too.

Ed's made quite the name for himself having awful takes, but it's inspiring how, even at the pinnacle of bad taste, he proves he can always get much, much, much, much worse.

I can frost pretty ok with whipped cream or meringue but not with buttercream
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. Oh, making frosting and frosting cakes? No those aren’t either of the skills.
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social)
If a group of miscreants came up to me and said, “you better make a good frosting and then you better use it to make the cake look NICE or we’re gonna throw you off a bridge into the river,” I’d be like “can I take my shoes off first so someone else can wear them as I float down the river?”

You can just fast forward the sad part where Social D breaks up for a second in DC.
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
I definitely didn't know that then. I got into them cause Bad Luck got radio play and I loved that album. Thought WL was the follow up. I was already into Op Ivy, Bosstones, Boston Hardcore etc at that point, and didn't even know Social D was a punk band when I was wearing out Somewhere Between...
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
I have somehow never heard this version, but I prefer the WL WH WT version. I love the marimba, too. If I recall correctly, the album version was unlisted, and I only knew it was a cover because I read it in a review. I had a Willie Nelson/Michael Jackson childhood instead of a Beatles/Stones one.
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social)
This cover is much, much better than the original, right?

I don't know how to connect it, but the idea roasted veggies only came to prominence in the mid 80s feels related, too.

No I secretly believe it, but don't tell the discover tab.
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reposted
I bet one of the reasons food and cooking got so weird in the 70s/80s is cigarettes were basically free, everyone smoked a pack and a half a day, and their taste buds were burnt out nubs. Just senseless little bumps on leathery tongues incapable of knowing the difference between good and bad.

Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
Wonder why the changed dropped the electric. Was it a water cooled connect the hose to the sink and then down the drain?
Aaron Cohen (@unlikelywords.bsky.social) reply parent
One shop had a water cooled converted to air cooled with condenser on roof and other shop has water cooled tied into a closed water line the labs in the building use to cool/heat lab equipment which I think is the coolest thing.
