This t-shirt will give a certain generation of New Englanders flashbacks.

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

Stranger Things have happened.

Liberals say that Trump's personal Gestapo is destroying our democracy. They're wrong—Trump's personal Gestapo is destroying our republic.

Conservative pundit and ‘Dilbert’ creator Scott Adams dead at 68

On Baseball: Alex Bregman’s intent was to remain with the Red Sox for five years and $165 million. The details — including the team’s unwillingness to include a no-trade clause — got in the way: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/13/s...

MAGA logic.

When they first started posting HOF ballots, I thought it was kind of cool to see. Now, it makes me realize how random and meaningless the voting for HOF really is. I mean, someone who was entrusted with a vote selected Nick Markakis. And I'm supposed to take this process seriously?

CJ Stroud tonight.

OK, listen up. Which one of us is playing third for the Red Sox this year? If it's me, I need to start loosening up my arm now.

"Hello, Clarice ..."

SOME PROFESSIONAL NEWS:

A lot of Golden Globes posts. That's fine. But there are few things I care about less in life than Hollywood circle jerk awards shows. Grammy Awards are the only exception because there are actual performances and not just self-congratulatory BS.

Today would be a great day for Donald Trump to stroke out while taking a crap, J.D. Vance to sever his dick with his zipper, and Stephen Miller to fall into an open manhole. If you can dream it, it can happen.

I love how they always use a skyline shot of Boston for Patriots games. I guess that's better than showing an aerial shot of Route One Wine & Spirits in Foxborough.

The NFL needs to modify or eliminate the slide rule. If QB is a runner, he should be treated like one. That was a weak call.

My wife, with a rare baseball-related funny this morning: "Well, look at the bright side. You can go back to hating Bregman again."

Reminiscing with my niece about the time she dated a guy who went by "Pico". I called him "Pico the guy-o".

So close. Much closer than the analysts thought. Maybe the rest of the league learned a bit about how to beat the Rams.

Panthers take the lead.

And they keep throwing in Mike Jackson's direction ...

That's what you get for going on an antisemitic podcast

Wait. The refs called a penalty in the Panthers' favor? Is that allowed?

ICE gets taken down by ice.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

One of the things I struggle with is coming in here and being bombarded with doom. I am as infuriated as anyone else at all of this, but my brain absorbs all the doom and it affects my anxiety. I just need to find other things to read/focus on at times like this. Crosswords are great for that.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

All this talk of Greenland reminded me of when my cousin was stationed there in the USAF and he talked about how polar bears would appear on base and hunt seals, causing everyone to go into lockdown until the bloody mess was over.

I completely understand people dunking on the Carolina Panthers for winning an ugly division with a losing record. But here in Carolina, even backing into a playoff spot is a victory. This franchise was so far down that this is cause for celebration. And a home playoff game? Icing on the cake.

Don Mattingly officially joined the Phillies as bench coach now. His Jays contract has run out now. Big get for stacked Philly team!

@meghancolleen.bsky.social I thought you would appreciate this. I saw it on a different site.
