I watched Love Is Blind for the first time because they set it in Boston, and I wrote about it for @gqmagazine.bsky.social! Read it here: www.gq.com/story/love-i...

Reality dating shows have never been my lobotomy of choice, but when I found out Love Is Blind had recorded a season in Boston, I was intrigued. As a Massachusetts (with no due respect to Morgan Wallen, the real “God’s Country”) native and former Boston resident, I had to see how it played out. How would a group of men possessing the emotional availability of a pile of cinder blocks mesh with an unseen cadre of women who would spit on Derek Jeter’s shoes if given the opportunity?

NR; optimism is back and I will shout from the rooftops whenever I can about it. This is non-preachy conservationism at it's very best. 5 stars.

Sometimes a friend will bring their small child to my apartment, and I always feel bad because once they're done petting my dog and reading the three picture books I own it's like...I don't know what to tell you, kid. You wanna send an email or something?

Cora is the second-best Sox manager of my lifetime. Firing him now is valid, because the team is undisciplined. Maybe he’ll be reinvigorated elsewhere, who knows. But I do know this: some combination of Tito, Bruce Bochy, and the ghost of John McGraw isn’t winning with this damn lineup.

Two photos with captions from my special Positive Reinforcement.

1. I have a lot of hometown pride, but that's hard to show. Because it gets so aggressive when you're from around boston.

2. I have a red sox hat, and that's fine. But one notch above that gets too macho.

3. The next level is a New England Patriots Jersey...

4. ...and the name on the back just says "BLUE LIVES MATTER" for some reason.

5. Level three is a button down shirt with a camo pattern made of shamrocks, and it's called "shamouflage."

6. You're really only supposed to wear it when a Dropkick Murphy is born or dies.

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"
