This strip is, no exaggeration, a formative element of my life. Read it young; remembered it forever.

On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, remember that America is an idea. We are a creedal nation whose revolutionary promises remain unfulfilled — but are worth fighting for. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/tuc...

Boston, Glasgow to announce some sort of partnership today. 1:45 p.m. at the Haven in JP (where else?). Wu, the British consul general and, of course, Haven owner Jason Waddleton to attend. No word if the deal involves any trade in traffic cones or Irn Bru.

Somebody's going to pull up hurt midway through game 5 and be replaced in the second half by "Air Bud".

Painted back in the 1990s by me (Dad) & daughter Maia Rose & son Danny. The open mouths were 'pop out' spaces, for photo ops (stick your head in the maw, presto!) for Marlboro VT local fair. No idea what its present state/ultimate fate might be; just posting photo for the fond memories...

Hi Team! Just a heads up that there is a website purporting to sell gift cards to local businesses (including PSB) but really just sells prepaid Visa cards. For a service fee. And a % of the amount. So be aware. A $50 gift card from PSB costs $50 & if you're paying more someone is grifting

Good morning, Blueskies! Gorgeous day here, definitely a good day to WALK! DO NOT DRIVE into Harvard Square! The center of the Square is closed for Mayfair! I will be holding court here in the shop until 7pm & would be delighted to see you! -kjc

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

Unfortunately the view includes the on-field product, profoundly disappointing for most of the quarter century the ballpark has been in operation. The Bucs are fun this year, but tonight is a painful reminder of that history - the team coughed up a 6-0 lead on the Phils.

Best view in baseball.

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

So much scientific inaccuracy I don't know where to begin.

Well, obviously it used to look like this.

Depluralize a movie: Kramer

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

Folks check on your friends that are fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are experiencing strange, foreign and confusing emotions

Once again 'tis the season for my annual endorsement of prosciutto on buttered matzo. (I won't eat chametz during Pesach but also don't keep kosher.) Set against the crisp texture of a flavorful matzo brand (such as well-charred Yehuda) the salty unctuousness of the charcuterie is a revelation.

We did our Easter Eggs with homemade natural dyes. Blueberry, cabbage, beets, matcha, onion skin and turmeric. Mysterious tones evoking nature and magic.

I'm disposed to like Prince, the twenty-six-year-old pansexual star of PURPLE RAIN, because he is, as a friend of mine put it, "the fulfillment of everything that people like Jerry Falwell say rock 'n' roll will do to the youth of America." (1984)
