One pleasant surprise in Boston was that no one ever panhandled. It started within seconds of getting out of the Uber in Cambridge, but never on the Boston side of the river. A nice change from Atlanta.

Harvard professor David Reich is going to make some Americans feel disrespected with this one-

If I decide to go to a concert I know I’m signing up for a cloud of smoke to hang over the place. Taking kids to a playground on Boston Common or to the New England Aquarium is a different matter. But to your point, I agree that people smoking weed in concerts should be removed.

I think a reasonable argument can be made that the political system is already in a terminal condition, and that the only questions are how long it has left and how painful the death and transition are.

We’ve arrived at the point where both sides want to break down the guardrails before the other side does, and both sides are justified in the fear that the other side will beat them to it. I shudder to think of how many states and Supreme Court justices we’ll have after the next time the Dems...

For some context, bureaucracy has been hamstringing the Navy for decades. The Littoral Combat Ship program was supposed to lower costs and increase presence in a post/Cold War environment. The ships were designed and budgeted to cost $90m each in the late 90s. By the time production started in...

It’s still a jackass move. Mercer should be thrown out like rotten fish.

It’s an amazing city. The water all through and around it, sailboats everywhere, Boston Common, colonial and revolution history, any kind of cultural amenities you could want, and not a lot of vagrants harassing people. You’re there at the perfect time of year too. The weather is amazing for...

I asked ChatGPT for some woodworking plans yesterday. I would have had a table with 3 legs on the floor and the 4th pointing to the ceiling if I had followed them.

And semi-submersibles, my favorite from of recreational watercraft.

I’m coming around to the idea. Either he’ll fail disastrously and set American commies back decades, or he’ll be popular enough that NYC re-elects him, the Dems emulate him, and the Democratic Party becomes irrelevant nationally. It’s a win/win for those of us who don’t live there.

Oh these are public tours. I have one thinking about going there and she should be able to go anywhere she wants, but it isn’t time yet. The oldest would have a decent shot but she’ll only apply there if we move nearby.

We’ve gone on two of the student led tours of Harvard. Had good kids lead both. Someone asked the last guy about all the recent protests and how it impacted the feel of the school. He said he hadn’t had time to pay attention to it, but he had a *real* major. I was amused.

Poor Tulsi. She’s catching it worse than Trump and as bad as a former FOX News host 😂

I do t disagree. I also can’t think of the last president who didn’t do as bad or worse. Maybe it was Jimmy. It certainly hasn’t been anyone since.

I’m not a fan of sending billions to other countries. I’m also not a fan of not participating in or even acknowledging the cold war we’ve been in with China for the past couple of decades. The drug boat strikes, border security, tariffs, and aid to Argentina are all actions that are finally...

It’s not really about race, it’s about culture. I’m not sure why acknowledging that some cultures are just inferior to others is a bad thing. I lived in some trailer parks as a kid. After living in subdivisions, I can definitively say subdivision culture is superior to trailer park culture...

I’m always surprised when I get an email that a UPS delivery is coming because those deliveries are so rare that I forget they exist. They’re one of those huge companies that amazes me by still being in business. I just never see them.
