Live your life so that at the end, when you are hospitalized and people are debating if you are dead, very nearly dead, or brain-dead but still breathing restfully, the matter isn't an endless source of internet comedy, contempt-filled criticism and weekend-at-Bernie jokes.

Idk if Mitch is dead right now but I’m feeling confident that we’ll never have to see him alive again and that’s good enough for me tonight.

Troy Jackson (58) should be swapped in for Platner. He has political experience, union support, & good stances on social issues. And the fact that he's not from the liberal/rich coast gives him broad appeal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Ja...

One thing about a bartender: they can spot a Type

I'm the sexiest man in my clothes

He doesn't get nearly enough credit for solving all those crimes

Absolutely fucking exhausting that our elected leaders continue to see the moves the administration makes as “failures” and not what they really are: wildly successful *intentional* plans to steal wealth and move money from public services to the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

We don’t just need a Democratic majority in Congress—we need a progressive majority. All across the nation, we're building a coalition that stands up to oligarchy, fights for working people, and organizes a better future for all. Join us.

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

You know you have a great political system when you get one “is that congressman alive” scandal per month

Boomers began formally denying responsibility in 1989 with Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Anthropic is accusing other companies of--get this--unfairly copying their work. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/t...

I told my girl Hilary Knight I would make sure ALL the women get to go to the ESPYs. Imma take care of all travel glam wardrobe. But if any companies want to support,,, here’s another chance to Do The Right Thing 👍🏾

Would never be acceptable for a Democrat. Diane Feinstein was coming to work and reporters were still asking her staff every day if she was still alive.

Mbappe fires back at the racist Paraguayan senator who said he grew up with chimpanzees

They’re five-year-olds! He’s sharing videos of a bunch of happy five-year-olds in order to harm them! It’s inhuman, we must rid ourselves of these men

Love the read, this my favorite part

Trump is now using his platform to attack kindergarteners because they are Muslim

I love Aladdin, and just about all the music from it. But not A Whole New World, which is…fine. I’m gonna go with Go the Distance today.

The Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Italian Feast, one of New England’s longest-running Italian celebrations, will return to Springfield’s Historic South End this weekend.

Also, "one nation under God" was coined in the post-WWII era and only added to the pledge in 1954. It's younger than Donald Trump. Somebody wrote a book about this.

A perfect example of fraud, waste, and abuse.

The interesting thing about why Norway dominates at international sports is that they have a culture of not permitting ranking or competition in kids before they turn 12. It promotes cooperation and enjoyment instead. Along with affordable access, it means sports there are more equitable.

A man has died following a shooting on Fairfield Street in Springfield Sunday morning.

Chris Wright holds two degrees from MIT, so the real question is whether he’s a truly smart guy who’s now pretending to be stupid for political reasons, of if he’s just an actually dumb guy who cheated his way through school.

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

Every time my back itches I think about her

Gonna get ahead of this and say: I bet they didn’t make a single call

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

Mitch McConnell is one of the very worst Americans of this century, a force of selfishness and spite who laid waste to our political institutions and social stability like no foreign enemy ever could.

When he finally dies, assuming he hasn’t already, do not let anyone shame you from speaking the plain truth about what kind of man he was. If the truth offends anyone, that’s McConnell’s fault.

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

Springfield police are investigating a rollover crash on Berkshire Avenue Sunday morning.

If this is true -- a very big if -- it is surely how McConnell would have wanted to go: exploiting the timing of the death of major figures (Scalia, RBG) for cynical partisan gain.

Donald Trump bulldozed a third of the White House, destroyed the lawn, choked the Reflecting Pool in slime, and wrapped the Kennedy Center like a corpse in the morgue for America's 250th which flopped because of climate change.

Well that’s simply wire fraud.

On this special 4th of July I want to remind everyone that the ambrosial 90's era beverage Fruitopia was around for nine years, thats five years longer than the Confederate States of America.

James Forten heard the 1st public reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776; he participated in the American Revolution & fought for its ideals long after the war. A skilled entrepreneur & ardent abolitionist, his wife & daughters founded the 1st interracial antislavery society for women.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

The DNC turned on the weather machine again

Jazz is the greatest, most genuine, & uniquely American invention. It’s literally impossible for Jazz to have been born in another than the American context If America spoke, it would’ve spoken the tunes written by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Monk, Miles, Trane, Armstrong, Bird, Dizzy, etc, etc

We could have had everything in America. We destroyed ourselves due to racism and greed. It's so painful and pitiful.

Been hearing wild things about ladybugs. Apparently they have excellent PR

I hope this POS got heatstroke.

The funniest part is thinking if Franklin had access to a smart phone he wouldn't have turned his hands into nubs from chronically masturbating over the porno on it.

Telling my kids this was George Washington. Happy 4th!

Sunday Baseball Notes are now posted. This week: The Nationals are rebuilding under former Red Sox exec Paul Toboni, and the results so far are encouraging. Plus some Red Sox observations, what's up with Paul Skenes, and much more: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/04/s...
