The Boston Globe endorsement of Seth Moulton boils down to them saying that Ed Markey is old and it praises Moulton because he has "remained a supporter of Israel's right to defend itself." This is exactly what I expect from the Globe, including hand-waving away Moulton's anti-trans comments.

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

members of the Norway men’s national football team on a rocky shore, styled as a fierce group of ancient Vikings. They are dressed in elaborate historical costumes, including fur-trimmed capes, leather tunics, chainmail, and armor pieces, while holding traditional gear like circular wooden shields, spears, axes, swords, and blowing horns. In the background, longships rest on a calm body of water that cuts through a vast, dramatic fjord. The rugged landscape is framed by massive, steep green mountains, with a thin waterfall cascading down a cliff face on the left, all under a cloudy, overcast sky.

yet another reason to leave substack (before they make it even harder to leave):
Tom Cox: When I migrated my subscribers from Substack, I assumed that every one of them would then receive the newsletters I was sending (via the Ghost platform) from my website. What I did not realise was that all the people who’d subscribed here on Substack but had clicked the “read in app only” option instead of opting to receive my writing via email had NOT been getting my newsletters. None of them. That’s a scarily large number of people. People who, if they hadn’t used a search engine to find my site, or seen my posts on Substack in August announcing my move, might, quite reasonably, have believed I’d stopped writing.
