"OH AND ANOTHER THING"

A makeshift memorial has been set up on a Boston Public Garden bench today in memory of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

"2026 is going to be my year!" Me in January:

Evidence again of @jonathanbchait.bsky.social's point that the phone is the weapon Trump fears most

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

Say His Name…

This has been a completely random 45 minutes of slushy mumbling. If this were any other president, networks would be cutting *in* and covering this with doctors and experts trying to explain what they're seeing.

We are all that mother, hoping the story she is telling herself is true before crawling back upwards, towards the sunlight.

Remarkable photos from a photographer who was attacked by ICE and pepper-sprayed.

When you've explained the rules of hide and seek eight times and he still doesn't get it.

His body will have to be incinerated and his ashes scattered (hopefully by an allied forces drone strike). There's no way he'll be able to have a grave. Not one that the public can visit anyway.

"Excuse me, exactly how Italian is this establishment?"

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

Remember: If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside.

"Mate honestly, I don't know why you bother coming"

When my wife says one thing, then another, then denies both and it ends up being my fault.

Me, having fully committed to exercising more in 2026.

Chewy sent along this beautiful stone remembering Franklin. Such a moving reminder that business can be humane and customers do matter. Thank you Chewy 🤍

PLATNER: “The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy — it’s gangsterism on an international scale.”

The members of the National Society of Film Critics are now meeting in New York, L.A. and on Zoom to vote for the best films and performances of 2025. The results will be posted on the official @nsfc.bsky.social account but I'll be chiming in from Boston as well. #NSFC

You don't know what day it is. You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between. You're napping throughout they day. Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

This is a story of tremendous importance. Unlike the lead-up to the Great Recession, the NYT and WSJ have been relentless in sounding the alarm over what could be a financial crash. But no one is listening. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/b...

If anyone should need a pet portrait, I'm getting better at painting fur.

I love painting dogs so much. Nobody stop me.

"Maybe it’s the age, maybe it’s my age; whatever, it’s hard to insist on the importance of movies when your country is sinking into totalitarianism. Yet it’s what I do, so, like most of us who feel caught in the amber of our own powerlessness, I keep on doing it." Here are the year's best films.

Gentle Reader, I give you the story I should have given you at All Soul's Day but it has been my lived experience that if I don't tell the front-of-mind story when it arrives, no new stories arrive until I do. So let's pretend it's November 1st for a few minutes. (Hands you a mini Snickers)

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

My daughter and I use Lyft rather than Uber because it has a reputation for being a better deal for drivers. According to this, Lyft does a better (though far from perfect) job of screening drivers, and Mass. did its own screening in 2017. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...
