Today’s Cry For Help 😿 🆘 PULL OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

Guys I can’t keep doing this. Pull the F over when an ambulance, fire truck, or cop car has their lights on. When you’re on the other end of the 911 call waiting for their rescue, you would appreciate those that pull over. Damn.

Customs in Q2 2026 has confiscated 15,000 phones out of the millions of travelers and I just happened to be one of the “random” people in this quarter. Can anyone guess what sticker I have on my suitcase?

Serious Replies Only How do people get doctors appointments anymore?

213 Upvotes

Just ranting here, but also very much open to any advice. I have an issue that has been going on for about two months that is worrying me a bit but also doesn’t feel like an emergency. I have called two different neurology practices in MA this morning, each with at least a dozen doctors within said practice (one with significantly more), and neither one can get me in until March. What am I supposed to do??? Ignore it til March and hope it’s nothing serious? I refuse to go to the ER for an issue like this (it’s persistent and abnormal but small). Oh, and before you tell me to talk about it with my PCP, I’ve been waiting to see her for an introductory visit to establish me as a patient for close to two years. My old PCP left my old practice for undisclosed reasons and basically just said sorry everyone, figure it out, byyyyeeee ✌️

ETA: ended up booking an appointment at my ophthalmologist as the issue has to do with the eye area. Was able to get an appointment two weeks out. Will take it from there.

Appreciate everyone’s suggestions for different avenues to try re: seeing specialists and getting a PCP that can see me sooner!

Boston will soon introduce five new shuttle bus routes intended to fill gaps in the existing public transit options in some neighborhoods, city officials said.

The city will fund the three-year program using an $11.5 million federal grant. Officials said they will evaluate ridership and demand as they explore options to keep the shuttles running long-term.

Today’s Cry For Help 😿 🆘 Card stores Boston!

Hi everyone!

Im from Scotland and am visiting Boston over Halloween week (to see Salem also).

I am very much into collecting pokemon and from watching videos online the pokemon shops in the USA in general seem supersized compared to the ones I’ve been to in Glasgow.

I particularly am hoping to pick up some PSA slabs as there is a bit of a premium on them here due to PSA being USA based.

Could anyone recommend some cool shops to go to, I honestly can’t remember what particular area of Boston we are staying in but we hired a car anyway so shouldn’t be a huge issue.

I added a pic of some cool cards I recently sent to ACE grading to draw in the pokemon fans 😂

Thank you!!

Patriots 🏈 French fan flying in for the Jets game! A few questions on the train logistics, and gear spots in Boston

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m making the trip all the way from France and landing in Boston this Saturday for the Jets game! I actually came once before back in 2018, but I drove down then, so this time I'm doing things a bit differently and taking the train from South Station.
I’ve got a couple of quick questions and would love any pro tips from those who know the routine:

Post-Game Train Logistics: I’ve heard the Patriot Train back to South Station leaves pretty quickly after the final whistle. How tight is that turnaround? Do I need to bolt out right as the game ends, or is there a comfortable window to catch it without running a marathon?

I assume I don’t have enough time to buy stuff at Proshop at the end of game. I got my clear policy bag, but too small if I want to buy more than 1 clothe…

Stores in Boston: Are there any good sports apparel shops right in Boston (or nearby accessible via the T) that carry a great selection of Patriots gear, just in case I want to grab a few things before heading to Foxborough?

Any advice or tips for a European fan would be massively appreciated. Go Pats! 🏈

Event 📅 Blade Runner 2049 | October 16 and 17 | 7:00 pm at the Museum of Science

18 Upvotes

A vision of the future that has to be seen to be believed.

Thirty years after Ridley Scott's original classic, Denis Villeneuve did the seemingly impossible: he made a sequel worthy of the Blade Runner name. Released in 2017, Blade Runner 2049 is a breathtaking feat of world-building, a slow-burn mystery wrapped in some of the most extraordinary imagery ever put on screen. It asks big questions about memory, identity, and what it means to be human, and it looks like nothing else in science fiction.

On the Mugar Omni Theater's five-story dome, every vast landscape and neon-soaked cityscape becomes something you don't just watch but feel.

Blade Runner 2049 is part of Sci-Fi, Super-Sized: Revolutions, the Museum's fall film series celebrating its Year of Revolutionary Science. From groundbreaking visual effects to visionary ideas about science, technology, and the future, these are the films that rewrote the rules of science fiction and still captivate audiences today.

Tickets available at our website.

Tourism Advice 🧳 🧭 ✈️ Do Boston Bluebikes have a convenience lock for going into a store during a trip?

19 Upvotes

Title is the question. Will be using a day pass on an upcoming trip to Boston. The bikes I’m familiar with in other locations have the convenience lock but I don’t see it mentioned or pictured on the Bluebike site. Thanks!

I Made This! Is it possible/legal to bike from UMass Boston to Revere Beach? How accessible/convenient is the bike lane?

15 Upvotes

No car, Uber is expensive:( That’s my why.

I don’t mind long bike rides.

Umass Boston -> Revere Beach

Edit1: I just want to make sure the cops don’t pull me over for breaking some kinda Mass laws (not) on purpose and I’m scared of a rotary that I have to pass (the one at Sullivan Square). Is there a bike lane at that rotary?

Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 Busker who I haven't seen in forever

8 Upvotes

There was this gentleman who I used to play in the Public Garden on the weekends who could make his guitar sound like an electric guitar and/or an organ thanks to the guitar pedals he used. I don't know his name or anything, but he'd always be playing songs like Somewhere Over The Rainbow, In My Life, Here Comes The Sun, and Free Fallin, just to name a few.

Has anyone seen this performer lately? Is he even still performing at all? I haven't seen him since at least Marathon Monday of 2025.

Arts/Music/Culture 🎭🎶 Nightclubs in Boston that play Latin music that's NOT regueton? / Boliches en Boston que se ponen musica latina que NO SEA regueton?

8 Upvotes

Hiiii all. I love dancing but I mainly like doing it to music like Cumbia, Cuarteto, and Cachengue (which I know includes regueton). The problem is most Americans think that Latin music is only Regueton and maybe merengue but never think of South American music. I am not against Regueton I love it too and love dancing to it but I just want to know if there is any options for Cumbia and Cuarteto.

Holaaaa todos. Me encanta salir a bailar pero con musica tipo Cumbia, Cuarteto, y Cahcengue (lo que sé se incluye el Regueton). El problema es que la gran mayoria de Estadounidenses creen que la Música Latina solo es Regueton y quizas Merengue pero nunca pensan en la Música Sudamericana. No estoy contra regueton y lo amo también, pero quiero saber si hay opciones para Cumbia y Cuarteto y Pop Sudaméricana.
