Massachusetts aims to become the first state to require building owners to check and replace recalled sprinkler heads, a move sparked by a deadly 2023 fire at an assisted living facility where faulty, decades-old sprinklers failed to activate. Backed by the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations and driven by Fall River Fire Captain Joshua Hetzler, the proposal would integrate recall checks into annual inspections, forcing building managers to verify each head’s status—or risk full physical

2026/08/10

A dating app match sends a polite but risky Instagram DM to a stranger whose profile is private and unfollowed—raising red flags about boundaries, privacy, and respect. Experts advise caution: follow back if you can, maybe even suggest a FaceTime before meeting, but many readers slam the move as rude and spammy. The consensus? Don’t share your personal life just because an app asks you to—and if someone’s too mysterious or tactless to message through the app, it’s probably best to ignore

New England Electricity Overcharged | Boston News

2026/08/10

New England homeowners are paying a shocking $12.3 billion over the past decade thanks to electricity suppliers charging way more than real-time costs—sometimes even more than the actual power itself. Utilities like Eversource and National Grid aren’t setting these prices; it’s the suppliers who bid fixed rates every six months, often locking in prices far above the spot market. For example, a supplier might charge 16 cents per kWh while the grid only costs 10 cents—those extra 6 cents? That’s

2026/08/10

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s push to shift property tax burdens from homeowners to businesses hit a major snag—new data reveals Boston homeowners pay among the lowest rates in the nation. With commercial properties taxed over five times higher and generous exemptions for residences, the real culprit behind affordability may not be taxes at all.
