Incredibly rude, extremely aggressive, frankly unhinged.

Nice reflection in @bostonglobe.com on Veteran's Day, through the lens of Bourne Cemetery, which happens to be where my grandfather Ed is buried.

To remember their sacrifices and suffering, to glean the meaning of their lives, we will need to find them where they rest in fields of grass.

Death by Lightning has so many great, quotable lines.

"Music, Fighting, Sausages!"
"Eat shit, I'm a taxpayer!"
"I need you to find me the sausage man"

OK most of these have to do with sausages, but I stand by it, and anyways sausages are delicious.

Wonderful story about uncovering echoes of the relatively recent past in a family story about reproductive freedom and abuse.

When Erin Moulton learned what really happened to her great-aunt, she couldn't ignore the echoes of today's fights over reproductive rights.

HUGE WIN: A federal judge has ordered that full SNAP benefits be restored to millions of Americans.

This ruling gives families back their peace of mind — and their dignity. We’ll keep fighting to protect the food security of every resident across this Commonwealth.

i think a very funny thing would for this guy to very quickly have a book ghost written about his political journey as sandwich guy that is a thinly veiled parody of politicians' origin story books like Hillbilly Elegy and his worldview should be, like Liz Lemon's, entirely sandwich-based.

Does this not create an obvious lane for someone to claim the brand "the only mass media co *not* kissing Trump's ass"?

It would be a good feedback loop between elections, too.

Because it would be wildly, demonstrably popular in a way shareholders can't ignore for long.

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.

The details are horrifying.

i sure don't feel represented by my government. they won't even brief my Senators on Venezuela.

That's true for all 19 states with 2 Dem Senators, representing 44% of population (and more than that in GDP).

No taxation without representation, and we don't functionally have representation.
