If you consider climate change real but often overhyped, you'll laugh at Globe's Q+A on Cape Cod Bay's meteor:
"If we had more wind farms and electric vehicles, would this have happened?"
"(Data suggests) a warmer, lighter atmosphere limits ... push back against inbound meteors."

@JillFilipovic You thought the president who pardoned rioters who tried to overturn our election would bow to a Kenyan court order? (For once, Trump might be right. Containing Ebola is in the world's best interest.)

Greg Wendt and Bob Singer said this today in a paywalled editorial. The two have kept a low profile until now.

The admirable rescuers of @UnionLeader are losing too much money:
"Our modest goal is to break even, and we are not there yet. We intend to keep supporting the paper as long as we see a reasonable path to better results. ... We need more subscribers and more advertisers."

@Lokay @JanCBS Has anyone ever been fired ceremoniously? Would that have been OK?

@SteveLazo35 @Super70sSports The greatest rock album ever. And if you’re driving at night, turn it up. Your car will fly.

Kevin Williamson on Trump's slush fund:
"Trump did not demand immunity from taxes, only from being investigated or prosecuted for not paying taxes or related shenanigans for himself, his business associates, Uday, Qusay and the rest of his ghastly spawn."

@portman65 @GlobeBobRyan @CookedbyRiley Not just an asshole, but one who proposed the HOF voters (journalists) deserved lynching. Only the most extreme off-field or post-career behavior should keep a player out. He went there.

@APnlove It's worse than that. It's a signal to the violent fringe that if the midterms are a blue wave, they will be both pardoned and rewarded for blocking democracy by storming the Capitol again. He's preparing coup attempt #2.

@DrewHampshire Every time I succumb to temptation and read a Rolling Stone list, I learn nothing and become angry.

We need more mavericks. Really smart people who don't fit into the standard right v. left division.
If you remember Stewart Brand and his "Whole Earth Catalog," you are not young. He was often wrong but unique, creative and brilliant. He still is.

@LinkofSunshine This is the best example yet of why political parties should pay for their own damn primaries.

@EdWhelanEPPC Is this reprehensible policy legal, or do federal FOI laws bar secret slush fund payments?

[Charlie Perkins @CharliePerkins]

An important look at how the elite twist the truth via clever, high-priced reputation fixers. Pro tip: Don't think the top Google results are the real story.

@gehrig38 @RepJackKimble I was in a bad mood until Curt Schilling's crude and stupid attempt to embarrass a fictional congressman. Now I'm grinning. Who's the assclown now, Curt?

@seacoastonline Is it sold around here? No.

@JoeSweeneyNH Abolish county government. Little accountability, almost no public/press oversight, a Massachusetts-style employment jobs program for relatives of the politically connected.
