A Tufts University study released in March finds that Massachusetts faces the highest risk of AI‑driven job disruption in the United States, with an estimated 7.35 percent of its jobs vulnerable in the near term—the largest share among all states. Boston, a major hub of knowledge‑intensive industries, could see about $20 billion in annual income losses, especially in occupations that rely on data, analytical, language‑based, or cognitive skills such as software developers, market‑research analysts, management analysts, and customer‑service representatives; by contrast, roles that depend on physical labor—cement masons, cooks, ship engineers, ambulance drivers—are least exposed. Researchers attribute the state’s heightened exposure to its dense concentration of universities, tech firms, and highly educated workers, and warn that the broader nation could see between 9.3 million and 19.5 million jobs at risk, costing up to $1.5 trillion annually. The report calls for policymakers and society to address the looming “AI hurricane” before it reshapes the workforce.

Typically when we think of stained glass, it's featured in a window of some sort, but I'm borderline *obsessed* with the glaswork you can find at Odd Commodity Shop.

The passion project by Oakland-based Sydney Jones, Odd Commodity Shop features UPCYCLED glass from broken bottles, shattered car windows, etc.

Can we make this happen in Boston? So much of what we used gets landfilled, I would love to divert it and brighten someone's day all at once.

Any greater Boston runners here? I'm curious to learn more about half marathons in the area - if you can recommend one. An unverified group reached out to me about a race (for training) but didn't link to any information about the event itself.

Music fans, (how) are we liking our experience of going to shows or listening to music throughout the day right now? I want to go to more events in greater Boston in 2026. Pub sings have been very special. I’m trying out Quobuz for everyday music listening. Curious to know where they post about upcoming features. (A blog?)
Noticed that“Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds was pulled at some point here. Not sure that that’s about. Your thoughts?

The tradition of reflecting on our history in Feburary started a century ago this year.

Check out a brief article from Speak for the Trees, Boston on the topic as we continue working toward green infrastructure equity:

Anyone in the Boston area have a USB wi-fi adapter that they aren't using? My old computer doesn't have a working one internally. Would appreciate putting an existing one to use
