The Epstein Email Cache: 2,300 Messages, Many of Which Mention Trump An analysis of documents released this week by Congress shows President Trump was mentioned in more than half of the messages.

Incredible piece of data journalism here from @wsj.com.

this is an enjoyable rant with a lot of good points; i'm probably 60-40 against the schedule change, myself, but it's impossible to say what it will really be like until #nerevs get out of foxboro, where it's always ten degrees colder inside of gillette.

Just so. And I think the penalty for failing the course should not be a poor grade, but rather immediate disconnection from the internet. After retaking the course, another failing grade should be punishable by death.

BU College Republicans president says he called ICE to β€˜detain these criminals’ at Allston Car Wash The president of Boston University College Republicans wrote on X he called the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requesting it detain employees at Allston Car Wash, the site of a Nov. 4 raid w...

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights I can't believe we need to explain this one, but it seems that we really do

Finally.

Now, Mike Johnson needs to bring a vote to the floor to #ReleaseTheFiles.

Epstein’s victims and the American people deserve the truth.

any day people in this country choose to be these kinds of people, and not criminal billionaires or masked secret police is a day that the regime hasn’t beaten us. may we all still be good enough to earn friends like these.

it is exactly five blocks to school. two of them were completely obstructed by vehicular bullshit, forcing me to hop my cargo bike, my 100lb child, and his cello onto a narrow-ass sidewalk to sneak by. we were lucky to not have the door shut in our face.

The iPad Pro at 10: a decade of unrealized potential Apple seems to finally know what its largest and most impressive tablet really is. Time to build it.

to me, the first ipad pro was closer to fully replacing a computer than it was for a lot of other people, for the stuff i did at home. my second ipad pro lets me ignore both my work and my home laptop.

nobody going to work today but at least the ones who are are utter psychos. special mention to the guy in the black truck with the totenkopf stickers who furiously swerved around a stopped car to run a red light on a four way walk.

i did cure my yips this week at least. defended well in the first half. made 1/1 save in goal and distributed well. i’m most proud of what i did to the guy who’s running around like a nutjob slapping everyone to get by. put a shoulder into him, down he goes. in the box but it’ll never get called. :)

it’s bad enough when a team is better than you, but when you’re playing them tight and they wind up scoring on a bad outlet and three bad bounces that thwarted clearing it. and that was it. we lost 1 - 0 and somehow got seeded against a better team in the playoffs despite finishing 6-1-1.

Air traffic controllers unpaid. Flights delayed & cancelled.

And now Trump is shutting down 10% of air traffic at our busiest airports, including Boston Logan.

Republicans must reopen the govt.

I'll keep fighting for our airport workers & their rightful pay.
