Remember Republicans spouting their BS about liberal activist judges? What they really meant was, of course, they wanted their own activist judges. They now have them, all the way to the Supreme Court, thanks to this right-wing extremist.

Pretty Vacant
It sure doesn’t seem very long ago that the availability of new, tiny apartments was the talk of Boston. Designed for young professionals, with units as small as 450 square feet, they came without parking. Who needed a car when there was Uber? Years away from starting families and needing more room, 20-somethings spent most of their time working downtown and enjoying the city’s vibrant nightlife.
Then came Covid, remote work, and a quick migration away from the infection-spreading city. WeWork went wrong and commercial real estate has yet to recover.
If office building vacancies have turned Boston into a ghost town, why is the traffic just as bad as it was before the pandemic?
Henry Hathaway Double Feature
A couple of excellent post-war movies directed by Henry Hathaway. Kiss of Death from 1947, and Call Northside 777 from 1948. I’ve seen both of them more than once. I like the way Hathaway’s deliberate pacing pulls the viewer along without rushing.
Feeling Lowe
A very favorite album from my post-college Western Massachusetts years.
Hi-Fi Hi-Five
I ask good questions. This is a screen shot from the Audio Unleashed page on Patreon for an upcoming podcast. Being an AU patron costs only $3/month.
The podcasts are available for free, minus some content that’s exclusive for patrons. Recommended for hardcore audio aficionados only!

More troublesome fun with my domain. I have found it’s always better when I tell the support person exactly what the problem is.
