Spending the 4th as is proper: lightly baked and watching Jaws.

The proper way to do July 3

Anyway, it's a gorgeous summer evening and I've got a boulevardier and a rack of lamb

"We spoke to two dozen swing voters in suburban Pennsylvania about this week's big news, and they all agree... As one put it, 'It doesn't matter, he'll get hurt midseason and Embiid can't beat the C's. Shoulda kept Jimmy.'"

For no reason at all I've been imagining what social media would have looked like after Bull Run

A longtime party insider and well-known kingmaker said something reasonable that only sounds panicky and game-changing if it's been cherry-picked to oblivion. Huh

I think people are overreading that Jim Clyburn quote x.com/MSNBC/status...

My primary Fallout 4 confusion came when I met the sarcastic dark-haired journalist who lives on the third-base side of Fenway and immediately thought "that's my real-life partner, game, what the hell?"

i have a lot of questions about how an irish-born-and-raised woman ends up in boston after the nuclear apocalypse destroys the world

Definitely not watching the Bell Riots one, no sir

Today a specialist vet told me to let my elderly cat “set her own limits” for what she wanted to eat and do. Lady, you know what this visit costs, you ought to be able to guess that Dottie is already the boss of this household.

Oh look, it's deck o'clock

Home from work, made a maple old fashioned, about to grab a book.

Weather in Boston went from quiet summer night to opening barrage over the Somme in a hurry

Reasonable to believe he's locked himself in his chambers furiously embroidering his Trump immunity dissent on a Papal flag.

"Congestion pricing will help Boston's championship parades, a phenomenon New Yorkers famously lack."

Boston has the chance to do the funniest thing right now: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... Like, the number of people you could get on board just to beat New York has got to be non-zero, right?

Mayor Wu says congestion pricing is still an option in Bostonwww.wgbh.org Mayor Michelle Wu answered questions on how to increase the city budget and the future of congestion pricing.

A lot of unrealistic (but fun) things happen in “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” but by far the most unrealistic thing is someone telling a normal human man, “You’re too pretty for me,” and then turning to literally Henry Golding and saying, “Now you, on the other hand …”

"The fans here are insane": Jrue Holiday and everyone else traded to a good Boston team

Hell yeah. AL HORFORD HAS A RING

Banner 18.

Maybe my favorite thing about this Finals (beyond, you know, the result) is that Jaylen Brown attacked Luka like he was personally offended by him

Glad to see Luka and Kyrie in "pretty up the box score" mode

And there's Al. Yeah, get this

Holy fucking shit, Pritchard

Welp, time to do something else and plan dinner for Game 5

The Celtics have now had two straight playoff games in which they Nearly Fucked It But Didn't, which is the most they've had in a row in a while. So... this seems pretty good.

Just got the image of Bannon being apprehended to go to jail & the cops are left holding a shirt, then they grab him again and just get shirt, ad infinitum. And this is how we learn that Steve Bannon was not a person, but rather one of those Russian nested dolls made up of shirts all the way down.
