New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

"Countering them must begin with calling segregationists by their rightful, ugly name," writes @victorerikray.bsky.social. Excellent piece. theemancipator.org/2025/01/28/t...
Eliminating DEI isn't just racist — it's segregationist
New segregationists’ need to use euphemisms shows the weakness of their intellectual position and the Civil Rights Movement’s moral clarity.

My former landlord had his flaws , but it's forever to his credit that when I contacted after seeing his ad he stressed how I should not pay a broker, turned out to be pretty convincing to move into his place which was home for 5 years
Boston, Cambridge and Somerville councilors join forces to reform broker fees

Evan MacKay is trying to pull off a nearly impossible feat in Mass. politics: Unseating a Democratic House incumbent - The Boston Globe
