In a newbury comics & overheard some young teen boy carrying a Billy Joel record say “aw yeah I’m getting Storm Front on vinyl.” I am beyond thrilled for him

I write about transportation in southeastern Mass & just this week I had someone offering to give me entry to some conference in Texas. Sir, they don’t even pay for my pens anymore

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

I’m just a guy in a decent sized city, and I get several dozen PR spam emails a day for stuff that has nothing to do with me. I’m drowning in real stories to research & write. If you think I have time to send each of these people yeses & nos, you’re out of your mind

[Joshua Hunt @viajoshhunt]

What it is with journalists these days is that we don't appreciate being asked to respond to anywhere between 30 and 100 unsolicited emails every single week. Especially when most of them come from people who clearly haven't even bothered to look at what kind of work we publish.

Also at any point the PR people could buy the ad they actually want instead of getting mad at us that their pitches aren't getting their clients free coverage.

@AmericanGwyn Clip ‘n’ save for such occasions

Part of the media literacy crisis is people not understanding that journalists are not content creators, in that directly profiting from social media posts is against every ethical practice we adhere to.

A medical oxygen company is accused of not checking if a client at Gabriel House was a smoker — in the room where the fire began. And GH is accused of knowing the sprinklers didn’t work a year before the blaze. I break it all down here: https://t.co/JzxFpmwfa4

neck feels a little stiff, which to me means I either slept crooked or I have spinal meningitis

I was beyond giddy about Switch 2 OOT until I found out it had no new side quests & is a largely identical, pretty short game with better art & QOL improvements. Now I don't feel like I can justify the $560 expense. Someday, just not now. I'm glad people are having fun tho

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

Got to be in the same room as these amazing works of art at the antiquarian book fair in Boston. I could’ve spent literally millions in there

Exclusive: A used car salesman at a Swansea dealership is going to prison for swindling 47 people in a massive $340,000 case. 125 charges -- including 87 felonies -- in a case the judge called "despicable." I was in court to hear from the victims: https://t.co/OhiYzZXKb6

A landmark $7.3 billion settlement was announced for tens of thousands of firefighters nationwide exposed to cancer-causing PFAS. I’ve been following this issue for years & how it’s affected workers in Fall River. This is big: https://t.co/1N5ttu6J6W

Am I correct in seeing that sprinting in Zelda Ocarina of Time is cost-free? No stamina used? Seems weird. It should come at a cost. Otherwise you can just sprint everywhere. And if you can sprint everywhere then why is that not Link’s default running speed to begin with

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

Believe it or not some ballot counts have finally been finalized. State Sen. Michael Rodrigues has been re-elected to another term in office. Full results now available: https://t.co/hirKcjTIpk

don't threaten me with a good time

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

Don’t get me wrong, I will happily fish for a thousand years

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

Oooof. Honestly I was hoping for a bunch of newly developed sidequests to fill out the world & distract from the main story, and it looks like that isn’t happening. I’ve spent hundreds of hours in BOTW/TOTK and wanted to do the same here. A little deflated

[IGN @IGN]

You may think you know how long The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is, but things have changed in the remake.

Here's how many hours you'll need to spend with your Switch 2 to finish it: https://t.co/av42qlikml

Two years ago Trump flipped Fall River to a red city for the first time in a century. It's back to blue, with voters picking Dems across the board. Full results of how the city voted: https://t.co/h4fZOPqPSD

[Dan Medeiros @ManVsTweets]

Every time I’ve replayed the Wild-era Zelda games i’ve refused to use fast travel bc i find it much more fun to lollygag around, looking at the vistas, finding enemies & sneakstriking them so from their point of view they were having a lovely quiet day until they suddenly died

[Annie☠ @AnnieSFW]

It's actually this simple btw
