I like the new Patriots jerseys but my husband and I disagree about what color they are. I say they look purple. He says blue. Is this like The Dress all over again?

Women I spoke to said they assumed that Hancock would do the right thing and find the person who placed the hidden camera in a locker room. But now they say those at the top seem to have been more interested in protecting the company than finding the perpetrator.

I was just looking at the excellent round-up of how to access state court records around the country created by @allyjar.bsky.social. I'd encourage any lawyers or journalists to update the info for their state (if needed). #courtrecords #courts #journalism docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I’ve written three paper checks today. Ask me about what it’s like to have been born in the late 1900s.

ICE holding immigrants in 'abysmal' conditions at Burlington office building, lawyers say ICE is detaining immigrants in a Burlington office park building that wasn't designed as a holding facility. Lawyers say conditions there are "abysmal" and "unsanitary."
