I wonder when CNBC last had to go all-caps on a day-trading headline…

Right now, hundreds of people are rallying in support of the Tufts graduate student from Turkey seen on video being taken into federal custody. nbcboston.com/news/local/i... That park, by the way, was the site of a pre-Revolutionary War flashpoint between the colonists and British.

Who is she?

A TikTok alert saying, “BallsMcGiver from your contacts is on TikTok as ballsmcgiver.” I do not know who BallsMcGiver is!

TikTok user ballsmcgiver follows just one account, Knuckle Bump Farms, and has no followers.

A fun new thing Outlook does is fire off this fireworks animation every time it sees the word “congratulations” in an email, which is basically every Trump staff announcement

The details in this Border Patrol agent shooting case — involving a U.S. woman who was hurt and a German man who was killed in the firefight — are BIZARRE.

Excerpt from the criminal complaint: “Vermont case number 2:25-mj-5. FBI agents searched the contents of the Prius on the evening of January.21, 2025, and I have reviewed a preliminary list of pertinent items seized from the Prius pursuant to the warrant. Among those items, I note that the Prius contained various pieces tactical gear-including a ballistic helmet, night-vision-goggle monocular, a tactical belt with holster, and a magazine loaded with cartridges; two full-face respirators; 48 rounds of .380-caliber jacketed hollow point ammunition; a package of shooting range targets ( some of which were used); two handheld two-way radios; approximately a dozen electronic devices and multiple removable electronic storage devices; documents containing identification, utility, lease, travel, and lodging information pertaining to multiple states; and an apparent journal found among YOUNGBLUT's identification documents.”

A crazy thing I recently learned about Syria is that the Assad regime had essentially turned it into a narcostate — they made more money making a drug called captagon than their entire GDP, according to one researcher. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

An excerpt from a New Yorker story on captagon production in Syria saying one researcher estimates its amphetamine business is worth more that the county’s $9 billion GDP

President-elect Trump is nominating former Congressman Sean Duffy as secretary of Transportation. Once on “Real World: Boston,” his first public transportation experience is arguably appearing on “Road Rules: All Stars,” where he met his wife, current Fox & Friends cohost Rachel Campos-Duffy

A snow-covered windshield did not stop this driver — an NBC10 Boston staffer spotted the SUV driving in Fenway on Friday, not taking chances to pull over and clean all that snow off. Boston police confirmed that the driver could have been cited.
