This story is absolutely enraging. Les Moonves, who allegedly sexually harassed women for decades, tried to ruin Janet Jackson's career after her wardrobe malfunction. How the hell is he still in charge of CBS?

Boston is really a good place to live. Got a notification I was exposed to Covid over the weekend, went to my neighborhood’s BPL to get free rapid tests, and 15 minutes later, I know I’m Covid free.

This is really gross. Disparaging somebody for trying to make ends meet? Your income bracket doesn’t make you better than anybody else. It is sad we are often told otherwise.
Yankees fans chant "Uber" at Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak.
Dobnak was an Uber driver in the minor leagues as a way to make some extra money.

Massachusetts taxpayers are going to get a lot of money back—unless you’re in the bottom 20% of earners. They will only receive an average of $9 back. People making over $1 million? At least $22,000. The people who need help the most never get it. It’s very cruel and sad.
