lower your expectations, it's twitter

twitter was always a hellscape, but it was tolerable at least. now it’s equivocal to observing the dingy crud clinging to your disposal drain, trying to find a crumb of a nugget of truth

DY don’t play

[David Yannetti @BostonDefender]

Hey @Linda_Pizzuti, do you have any editors these days at @BostonMagazine or have they all taken the summer off?

While I will anxiously await the correction you must publish to the shoddy reporting of @GretchenVoss64, please also tell @John_W_Henry that our beloved Red Sox could use a couple of bats at the trade deadline.

Thanks! 🙏

Car-centric American suburbs have robbed us of vibrant community life and essential social spaces. You only truly understand what we've lost once you see a better alternative.

Entitlement or Arrogance?
I have nothing to say about the merits of the motions filed by either side. I do not follow these cases closely, Anti-SLAPP litigation is not my area of expertise, and I am not taking sides in this dispute.

What does concern me is the troubling language used by Judge Gildea. Throughout my years on the bench, It was made clear that judges should focus on the legal sufficiency of a filing, not characterize the attorney who filed it. Appellate courts have repeatedly cautioned trial judges against abandoning clinical, objective language in favor of inflammatory commentary.

The issue is not whether a motion was deficient. Judges have every right—and obligation—to say so. The concern arises when criticism shifts from the filing itself to language suggesting an attorney acted out of "arrogance" or a sense of "entitlement."

As the United States Supreme Court noted in Liteky v. United States, judicial comments can raise concerns when they reflect a degree of personal antagonism that causes the public to question whether impartial judgment remains possible. There is a line that cannot be crossed.

For twenty years, I lived under the Massachusetts Code of Judicial Conduct. Rule 1.2 requires judges to act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary. That obligation extends beyond actual impartiality; it includes avoiding the appearance of partiality.

Oyer: "I had great hope Blanche would be an effective leader and responsible steward of the DOJ, but he quickly proved me wrong. Two days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser ... I was shocked to hear Blanche's testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false."

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.

these great cathedrals are indeed massive, astonishing. but look beyond surfaces & what are they?--monuments to the overwhelming authority & power of the Church displaying such wealth & aligning itself with wealthy ruling classes from which its highest priests were drawn.
institutionalized religion is surely the first, the biggest, one might say the best con in human history; proof that humankind will believe & even pay for any fantasy so long as it assures them that they have immortal souls & are very special.

The local grocery chain here in RI/MA had a local artist paint its Fourth of July flyer, and I think in a world of AI slop, stuff like this is awesome.
