Rewatched Sinners tonight. I saw Marty Supreme, I saw Hamnet, I saw One Battle After Another and Iâve got good things to say about all of them, but Sinners is truly on a different level and whatever the awards shows say thatâs the truth.

This is my periodic gentle reminder that not all children in Massachusetts have Patriots gear, and special days that require or even encourage such things are going to leave some kids left out and other families scrambling for an expense they cannot afford.

I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

Looking for pork jowl in Boston
When I set out to find hog jowl on New Year's Eve, I wasn't just shopping, writes Bridgit Brown. I was looking for proof that parts of us still lived here.

Oh and by the way, the reason I know the names Coon, Powell, Briseno, and Wind (which I do, off the top of my head) is that I vowed to never call them the "Rodney King Riots" because what did Rodney King have to do with it? Why does he get named and the perpetrators don't?

Them: Hello this is CNN. Up for talking about the NBA betting scandal? Me: Sure. My take is this all a distraction from Epstein. Also Trump - clearly demented - sees the NBA as an enemy and had the case dropped on opening night to harm the league Them: We'll talk to the team and get back to you!

As a Gen X kid obsessed with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson & Prince who had Jazz and Blues playing all around but was drawn to Funk, we immediately identified with DâAngelo and clocked his influences⊠He became OUR version. And now, he is one of the ancestors. Rest in eternal peace.

ICE detained a 30-year-old man in Brookline last week, waiting for hours outside the police station after he was arrested for alleged domestic violence. It's the third ICE arrest documented here since the start of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

If you're getting ready for Yom Kippur with the posture of, "THOSE Jews need to repent!" you need to get your eyes back on your own blue book. We ALL have been harmed, we ALL are bystanders to harm, and we ALL cause harm. Tonight and tomorrow is about your work. Agitate again later.
