For my 250th, I'm taking a closer look at an antique scrapbook I bought last year filled with news clippings from ~1877-1889 celebrating a few anniversaries such as Boston's 250th in 1880! "Great crowds" sounds different in a 2026 context

Oh dear god... his problem is the trials weren't organized enough... The witchcraft accusations were a machine. The court records became formulaic as the accusation and trials went on because how routine each case went. MA Bay set up a court system to run through cases, the AG had a plan 🧵
