I wrote for @bostonmagazine.bsky.social about the most pressing of issues: Why Maine has a great (unofficial) flag and why the Massachusetts flag stinks and will almost certainly always stink www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2026/08...

Why Can't Massachusetts Make a Good State Flag?
Maine now has one of the country’s most beloved flags. What's our problem?

I emailed John Henry to ask him why he no longer speaks to the press. And, funny thing, he emailed me back. For @fangraphs.com blogs.fangraphs.com/why-red-sox-...

Why Red Sox Owner John Henry, a Savior of Local Journalism, Won’t Talk to the Press
Henry has authored a media success story since buying the Boston Globe in 2013 — which makes his silence in recent years all the more strange.

Maine is set to become the 8th state to launch iGaming, described by experts as the most addictive form of gambling. Is Maine ready? No. So why’s it happening? Because of the state’s failure to reckon with its treatment of its tribes For @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/16/m...

Jeff Bezos bought the Post in 2013, the same year that John Henry bought the Boston Globe. Credit where it's due: While Bezos has failed spectacularly, Henry has in fact (so far) saved the Globe.* *Now for the love of god go find a right-handed infielder who can hit home runs

This is an important point by Max: Journalists' outsized Twitter influence was a big power equalizer with management. Much less so with X's decline. (This also once led to SI's lawyer making fun of me for having a small Twitter following, which was fun.)
