Here's some writing for Hell World from the good folks joining me at The Sinclair today (4pm) @billshaner.bsky.social

Later he would complain "She's putting the baby in harm's way." A classic move: "harm" goes undefined because the harm is him.

The work @billshaner.bsky.social and @thisweekinwoo.bsky.social to shine a light on a horrific crime and even more disgusting cover-up is invaluable.

Regardless of the election outcome, 2026 is going to see some long-overdue hoisting of crank petards in Worcester.

Patrolman's union president Thomas Duffy launching a snot rocket on someone's stoop before dropping off his little thin blue line election flyers in maybe legal maybe not fashion. Also definitely gets snot on the whole stack hahahah

May 2013 — Worcester Rep. John Fresolo resigns after a closed-door ethics probe into “serious allegations,” including per-diem abuse. The findings were never made public. Do secret investigations protect the powerful?

Massachusetts lawmaker 'took pictures of his genitals and put them on a female coworker's computer'
The ethics committee has not formally reprimanded the individual in charge, but it is being widely reported that Democratic State Representative John Fresolo is the one behind the scandal.

Moe Bergman brought up a months old item on recalls in order to take shots at Thu, a councilor who is not running for reelection.. and in the process demonstrated he, a lawyer, was dead wrong about a basic provision in the city charter and had to be corrected in real time on camera. We love it

To me it says everything that Cuomo knows he won’t win, knows the ICE storm the city is in for once Mamdani does, and he’s willing to rip the social fabric of the city apart for rejecting his attempt at redemption.
Cuomo has went all in on the anti Arab and anti Muslim rhetoric and decided to laugh along to a "Mamdani would support 9/11" joke.

Gotta love an art thief. In order to do it, you have to be a cold-blooded analytical criminal mastermind. But in order to /want/ to do it, you gotta be downright whimsical. rare combo
