Working up a fever in a one-horse town.

Somerville garage-punk-pub-rock band on Rum Bar Records. The music stuff is the band’s; the politics, crotchets, crap-takes and bad posts are mine.

More: All government processes and departments have been underfunded, under-resourced and working with limited expertise under Trump. The alleged DC shooter was given asylum under the Trump-Musk DOGE era, when DC was in chaos and Trump was harping on Biden leaving Afghans behind.

When I was a boy and I would see scary content on the internet, my mother would say to me, "Look for the posters. You will always find people who are posting.”

Elon Musk, the guy who did two Nazi salutes in public and has previously described himself as a “free speech absolutist,” thinks it should be a crime to “falsely” call someone a Nazi or a fascist.

The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

Market Basket was lit just now. The most important shopping evening of the year and the whole place is chock full of people who have never been to Market Basket before, who may have never once seen groceries.

I have bathed in the luscious bedlam and come out the other side warshed pure of my sins.

Haiti is grappling with an unspeakable humanitarian crisis that is worsening daily.

To deport 350,000 of our neighbors back there is unconscionable & could be a death sentence.

The Trump Administration must reverse course and stop operating with cruel disregard for human life.
Trump administration again moves to end Haiti TPS despite worsening crisis
Former President Biden extended TPS for Haitians in 2024, citing “simultaneous economic, security, political and health crises."
