Hello #fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 38F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.
The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to halt a lower court order to rehire federal employees.
Japan's official cherry blossom season starts today.
New rules are restricting where Porchfest musicians can perform in #Somerville after a surprise Guster performance blocked streets last year.
Earbud fodder:
So glad to attend the Sona Jobarteh Band concert last evening!
“Born into a Griot family from the Gambia, a tradition that dates back seven centuries, she is the first female within this tradition to become a professional virtuoso on the Kora. Her music is uniquely poised between the preservation of her rich cultural heritage and an accessible, modern style that relates to the current era and to audiences from all over the world.”

News -- PopUp Bagels to open at Assembly Row in Somerville. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2025/03/popup-bagels-to-open-at-assembly-row-in.html
Hey #Somerville! Do you like free food? How about local politics? (It's ok if you only answered "yes" to the first one) - Anyway I'll be hosting a little Teele Square meet & greet with my friends over at Mass Hole Donuts on Saturday. There will be opportunities to participate even if you don't want to talk politics. Please stop by if you can!
Seriously. I've ordered 100 donuts. Please stop by.
Closing alert -- The Cornerstone in Somerville appears to have closed permanently. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-cornerstone-in-somerville-appears.html
This form. It is entirely too long. It assumes you are hosting only one band? So many fields are required. This is not good #UX. I am just ranting into the void tonight because I was ok with submitting an application when I thought it would be a 5 minute process, but this is now a several week process to track down all of my potential acts, contact info, places of residence, and connections to #Somerville. Ugh.
Bummed by the new #Somerville porch fest restrictions this year - You're not allowed to host if you're on any of the major thoroughfares: https://somervilleartscouncil.org/porchfest/
