Legendary poster on several Boston online communities for their posts about audio transcriptions and City Council meetings.

If that's the best news so far, we're doomed.

Annissa will pull West Roxbury Dorchester Southie. Enough to top(hockey mom, Dorchester girl). All other canidates will split the minority neighborhood votes. To many egos who want to be chief in the Minority/progressive communities . For record I’m not crazy about any of them. The city needs someone who is going to have to convince businesses to stay. Would not want to have another Great white flight

theszak is a bit of an oddball maybe, but at least he's not spouting hate and racist conspiracy theories left and right.

Szak, someone referred to you on reddit the other day and I realized how long it's been. Glad to see you're ok.
