If anyone sees any DHS vehicles and personnel in the Greater Lowell area, please let me know. I’d greatly appreciate it.

NEW: I emailed the band.

β€œWe broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi.

Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to thatβ€”which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended."

A deep-field image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam instrument, showcasing the aftermath of a colossal collision between two galaxy clusters. The image reveals a complex web of galaxies, gas, and dust, with the most prominent feature being a bridge of hot gas stretching between the two main clusters.

This is how reporting used to be done and it's great to see a reporter as high profile as Emily Maher doing serious legwork. The world needs more of this. This is real reporting.

Mass. VFW post holds meat raffle to help replace thousands stolen from safe A community came together Thursday evening to support a Billerica VFW post after it was robbed of a safe with thousands of dollars inside.

Really good, thorough reporting from WCVB on a break in at the VFW Post in Billerica this week.

WCVB didn't just rewrite our press release on this. They went to the VFW and talked to the commander. Once arrests were made, they pulled the paperwork from court.

Starship just exploded in space during a test flight. People are going to die if we trust a liar and goon like Elon Musk to put our astronauts into space.

An image made of three panels. The largest on the left shows the NIRCam image of a nebula with two bright stars. A skewed box in the top-right points to a second panel on the right, with a MIRI image of that area. A tiny box in the centre of that panel is blown up in a third panel below, with a zoomed-in, combined MIRI and NIRCam image of a yellow and orange blob.

Lego display falls, hurting 10, at New Year's balloon drop in Peabody Ten people were hurt when a Lego display fell onto spectators at a family-oriented New Year’s event at a Peabody, Massachusetts, arcade on Tuesday, fire officials said.

I am in no way involved in this one, but the story of the day is the collapse of a giant LEGO display injuring 10 people in Peabody today.

Happy New Year, ya'll!

Homelessness in the U.S. is up 18%. The dramatic rise has been driven by a lack of affordable housing, as well as natural disasters and a surge of migrants, federal officials said.

Homelessness in the U.S. is up 18%. The dramatic rise has been driven by a lack of affordable housing, as well as natural disasters and a surge of migrants, federal officials said.

Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that federally required tallies taken across the country in January found that more than 770,000 people were counted as homeless.

This is a true color view of Saturn and its moon Titan. Titan is seen here hovering near Saturn's rings. 

This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on May 6, 2012 and received on Earth May 7, 2012. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 764,600 kilometers away, and the images were taken using the red, green, and blue filters.

The NIRCam image showcases NGC 5326, a spiral galaxy with a prominent central bar structure. The image highlights the galaxy's intricate spiral arms, studded with bright star-forming regions that glow in infrared light. The central bar, a prominent feature in the galaxy's structure, is clearly visible, along with the surrounding halo of older stars. This stunning view offers a glimpse into the dynamic processes of star formation and galactic evolution.

Thousands of galaxies appear in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny red dots appear throughout the scene.
