on Robert Kraft dodging prosecution, but the women did not. "The moral of the story: For a rich, white man, sex can be fun and games — but still a crime for the women he pays."
Rapid tests are key to protecting our community from COVID. The more, the merrier.

We’re doing this. Back-to-back birthday parties for my kiddos this weekend. Every year I say no more birthday parties but somehow I end up going all out. Call it working mom’s guilt.

Can’t believe this day is here, saying goodbye to the incomparable Chris Chinlund,

managing editor, after more than three decades. A true role model for so many female journalists and working moms.
I don't know what's worse for

. Refusing to say whether he will vote for fellow Republican

in
@wgbhnews
debate, or flip flopping immediately afterwards to say he will vote for Diehl.

@Harvard
fate should be decided by Harvard boards alone -- not under pressure from rich donors, prominent alumni, politicians & the peanut gallery on social media. So if Harvard Corporation supports her, defend her. Don't let her twist in the wind.…

I will stop writing about gender diversity when gender equality is reached. This manel story is different from the last one because it talks about efforts to create databases to help find female speakers. Cc
@mysteriousrook
This is a fair criticism. We need different ways of talking about the issue of sexism & lack of inclusion. Making the same point over and over again won't bring about change. Nothing against
@leung
nor any of the Globe columnists.
Yup, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place on GOP tax plan. Maine’s

"At the core of the liberal revulsion over 4 more years of Trump is not simply the prospect of 4 more years of outrage; 4 more years of racism; 4 more years of incompetence...it’s that there are so many Americans who actively welcome it."

Please read if anyone thinks Serena Williams is in the wrong here. No, she’s playing tennis as a black woman and umps & media put her to double standard.

You know what would be really cool? As my Red Line train approached Downtown Crossing, the operator make an announcement that
#GreenLine
service is suspended. Twitter can’t be the primary mode of communication.
#MBTA
#GreenLine
Update: Service suspended between Kenmore and Haymarket due to a power problem. The Power Department is on scene continuing to make repairs to the overhead wires. Customers can use Orange Line service through downtown.
I consider
@KaraSwisher
the

podcast. We talked, of course, about
@elonmusk

@CraigFWalker
& I spent several weeks on Water Street, and we found how one ordinary block can provide a window into financial toll that radiates around the world.
So glad
@miltonvalencia
did this piece because
@danrivera021843
has stepped up. Lawrence mayor emerges as a central figure as resident without gas (taking cold showers) and leader responding to disaster.
Decided to walk a different way to work today instead of through Downtown Crossing hoping to discover something new. Ran into this street scape in Chinatown.
