Kerry Roberts out here talking about egg throwing “down... the Cape” and tying it back to Canton like it was some mysterious, town-wide epidemic 🥚 What she didn’t mention? The Canton incident had a name. Dianna Simoni White Canton High ‘90. Same neighborhood as the Alberts. Big supporter of the house defendants. And the best part? Allegedly lets her young daughter take the fall for throwing an egg at protesters outside the police station… …and somehow, shocker, Helana Rafferty made sure that nothing happened. But yeah, let’s keep it vague. “Some kids threw eggs.” “Things were happening in Canton.” Right. Totally random. Could’ve been anyone. Canton’s a small town. We don’t forget names. We just notice when other people leave them out.show more

Let’s talk about April 14, 2023. A Canton High... School lacrosse game. High school kids. Parents in the stands. And in the middle of that? A Canton resident Tom Beatty. Originally from Dorchester. At his daughter’s game and the town bully Jen Mccabe According to witnesses, there was a verbal exchange between him and Jen McCabe. And what was reportedly said? “Keep walking. Nobody wants you here. GO SIT BY YOURSELF " Let that sink in. Nobody wants you here. At a public high school sporting event. In the town where he lives. Watching his own daughter play. This isn’t about legal arguments. It’s not about trial transcripts. It’s about culture. Because that line “Nobody wants you here” tells you everything about the mindset. That’s territorial, clique-based, high school cafeteria politics. It’s the towny gatekeeping mentality You’re either in the circle Or you’re not And if you’re not, we’ll let you know! And the irony? The phrase came at… a high school game in front of other parents, while she was surrounded by her entourage. It’s giving Mean Girls Canton Edition But here’s the uncomfortable truth this isn’t about popularity. It’s about intimidation culture. The same pattern we’ve seen over and over...When someone speaks up they get iced out. When someone questions they get mocked. When someone doesn’t “fall in line” they’re told they don’t belong. That’s not strength. That’s insecurity. Canton doesn’t belong to a clique. It doesn’t belong to a friend group. It doesn’t belong to a social circle from 1998. It belongs to the residents. All of them. And if someone is at their child’s public school sporting event, the correct response isn’t “nobody wants you here.” It’s maybe… just watch the game JEN.show more

Retired Police Chief Peter Bright and his daughter Jen... Kemalian were in attendance last night to witness a truly historic moment in Canton. Following the interview of Chief Daniels, the Select Board voted 4–0 to appoint him as the town’s next Police Chief. It was a full-circle moment for Chief Bright, who served Canton from 1995–2005, following John Ruane Jr. (1986–1995). The role then passed to Ken Berkowitz (2005–2022), followed by Helena Rafferty (2022–2025). A rare night where past, present, and future leadership all shared the same room and the baton was officially passed once again. Jen Kemalian has been mentioned by many as a potential successor to Charlie Doody when he eventually retires. If that were to happen, she would assume the role of Town Administrator a position that serves as the direct supervisor of the Police Chief. In other words, depending on future decisions, last night’s audience may have included not just past leadership, but someone who could one day sit at the very top of the town’s organizational chart.show more

Yeah, this just happened. Louise leaves the little nest... where she is laying. I go to look for an egg there's nothing there. That's okay stage fright it happens. Went to the basement to grab some bedding so I could make it comfortable in that little spot that they like and I hear something in the house. Yeah it was Louise. Came in and shat right there in the freaking bathroom. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I did finally get a hold of her and carried her out to the little tiny coop where all the birds like to lay their eggs. She's in there now.show more

My husband and I adopted a 10.5 year old... dog. Not because we were looking for another dog, but because she sat at the shelter for 3 months without a single person inquiring about her or meeting her and we didn’t want her dying alone. She wasn’t with a rescue but people in the rescue community were networking her because she was the sweetest and was every shelter volunteer’s favorite dog. They would even let her hang out in the office with them. I heard about her and the next day we went to meet her and adopted her. She was covered in ticks when we brought her home, and it took a lot of vet visits, treatments, trial and error, and patience to finally heal her from it. There were moments where it felt overwhelming, but she was worth every bit of effort. We weren’t sure how long she would live but we didn’t care, because it wasn’t about us, it was about her. Thankfully she was with us for three years and passed just two months ago at 13.5 years old, which is ancient. She was an amazing dog and I loved her just as much as all my other dogs. Seniors are the best and they’re just as deserving of a loving home as any other dog. 📹treatsnatchershow more

Back in 1994 at Ariel School in Zimbabwe, some... weird shit happened during recess. Dozens of kids were outside playing when several of them noticed objects coming down near the edge of the schoolyard. They described small disc shaped craft and beings nearby. This wasn’t one kid that was nuts, It was many children at the same time. They all described the same things. Teachers didn’t see it themselves, made the credibility low. Adults eventually stepped in. The kids were questioned, interviewed, asked to draw what they saw. Over time, their accounts started to drift in small details, which is normal, but the core of the experience stayed the same. No clear explanation was ever given, and no serious effort was made to resolve what happened. What hangs on with me is the pattern of children see something, adults can’t explain it or refuse to, authority moves in to normalize things, and the event gets labeled as imagination. John Mack went on to verify the best he could that what the children saw was real. What do you think?show more

Back at my mom’s house I was sitting in... the living room playing video games in my my underwear, I was around 12 years old and ever body was working until about 5pm so I still had a few hours before anybody was there. I usually kept the doors locked but the front door wasn’t locked, I just didn’t know that yet. I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack and a drink. I didn’t know that a family of three people just walked into the house. I came back holding a bag of chips and a drink and I saw two people standing there and another one just sitting on the couch like they were supposed to be there. My 12 year old brain couldn’t comprehend what was happening and I ran out of the house and to the neighbors house. I finally calmed down and told her what was happening, she grabbed her husband and went over there, I’m surprised they didn’t call the police first. The people in the house told the neighbor that they were friends of my dad and they were visiting from Pittsburgh. My neighbor called my dad at the restaurant and confirmed he knew them. He ended up leaving the restaurant and coming back early. His friends confused what days he was off from work and decided to come by and visit unannounced. He also told them it wasn’t a good idea to just walk in and that even though they were friends they should always knock on the door. I had never met these people before so I thought it was some kind of home invasion, it scared me. But from that point on I always made sure the doors were locked and that I was dressed decently just in case of unexpected visitors.show more

At 54, here’s something I think about a lot:... The good old days don’t feel like it at the time. It feels more like struggle. From the age of 25 to 45, you’re in the thick of it—building a career, raising kids, trying to get ahead (or just keep up with life). It’s so easy to lose perspective and forget that… You’re in the sweet spot. One day you’ll look back on that struggle as the best of times. Every season of life has its pros and cons—triumphs and challenges—but there’s nothing quite like the prime adult years. So what are we to do about it? Simply recognize that you’re living your good old days right now. Slow down. Savor it. Smell the roses. Because I’m here to tell you… The days are long, but the years fly by. 🎥: First flight for my younger daughter. I thought I was climbing the mountain—little did I know I was standing on the peak.show more

The shelter manager stopped us right before we walked... into the kennel area and said quietly, “If you take the male out for a walk, don’t shut the door on the female. She’ll panic and could hurt herself trying to reach him.” We had arrived planning to adopt just one dog. Our farmhouse has a large yard, but we also have a budget to think about. Then we saw them — two massive, long-haired German Shepherds pressed tightly together in a small kennel. Their names at the shelter were Rex and Luna. A volunteer gently shared their story. They had already been returned twice, not because they were aggressive — in fact, they were incredibly gentle and affectionate. The real issue was how strongly they were attached to each other. If one of them left the room, the other would cry and panic as if something terrible had happened. The shelter was running out of space and had started discussing the possibility of separating them permanently to make adoption easier… even though everyone knew it would devastate them. I stood there watching Rex carefully place his large chin across Luna’s back. Both dogs were shaking slightly, aware that people were studying them and deciding they were simply “too much.” My husband looked at me, then back at the two nervous dogs clinging to each other. He didn’t ask about the cost. He didn’t hesitate. He just walked over to the wall and picked up two leashes. “We’re not the kind of people who split up a family,” he said. So now our house is a little more chaotic. Our vet bills doubled, our bed barely belongs to us anymore, and 140 pounds of fluffy German Shepherds somehow manage to take up every inch of space. But honestly? Bringing both of them home turned out to be the best decision we never planned to make. If you want to see what Rex and Luna look like today — safe, inseparable, and finally living the life they always deservedshow more

Blake Lively’s Met Gala Moment Was Deeply Tone-Deaf Blake... Lively showing up at the Met Gala this year, smiling like nothing happened, honestly felt surreal. Not in a good way. More like… are we all just expected to pretend the last two years didn’t happen? Because that’s what it looked like. A reset. A clean slate. As if everything that went down with Justin Baldoni just evaporated the moment she stepped onto that carpet in a Versace gown. And I’m sorry, but it doesn’t work like that. You don’t get to be at the center of a situation that serious, with that much damage done to someone’s reputation, and then just reappear in full glamour mode like it was all some minor inconvenience. Whether people want to admit it or not, that whole situation left a mark. On him, on the project, and on how people see her now. What makes it worse is the timing. Walking into one of the most visible events in the world right after everything wrapped up just feels… off. There’s no reflection in that. No pause. No sense that any of it actually mattered beyond being something to get past. And then there’s the bigger issue. When something tied to a story about domestic violence turns into this kind of public spectacle, it cheapens it. It stops being about the message and starts being about ego, control, and image. That’s the part that doesn’t sit right. You can call it strategy, you can call it PR, but to a lot of people it just reads as tone-deaf. Versace dressing her? That’s their choice. But let’s not pretend fashion houses don’t pick sides when they do that. They know exactly what kind of attention it brings. Same with the Met Gala. They don’t “accidentally” invite people. Every name is a decision. So yeah, people are going to question it. They should. Because this didn’t feel like a comeback. It felt like someone stepping right back into the spotlight without acknowledging the weight of what just happened. Like the expectation is that the audience will move on simply because she has. Not everyone will. And honestly, they shouldn’t have to. PS: That’s the only soundtrack that actually fits that red carpet. moment.show more

Long day boys. There’s a little town beside Kerrville... called Center Point that was completely destroyed by the flood. They have one volunteer fire department that was caught in the water, carrying away every piece of emergency equipment they have. Dudes barely got their fire trucks out. They managed to clean it out best they could and make it their base of operations for search and rescue. We linked up with them and searched the riverbanks for bodies all day. Great bunch of amazing men and women. We got them a generator, water, and energy drinks to keep things pumping, but they still need some help. Currently talking to the people in charge to figure out what they need exactly and I’ll relay that back in this thread.show more

NEW YORK thank you for showing me so much... love! People had nasty things to say for weeks just for it to sell out and turn out amazing. I haven’t released music in a long time but this definitely motivated me to get back outside. Thank you to all artists who came out during my set and all of the other amazing artists on the line up… WE DID THAT!! Don’t pay attention to the negativity, when the hate don’t work they start telling lies. I’m on a high right now.show more

"Last week my husband and I went to the... shelter to adopt a baby. We had a plan. One puppy. That was it. But life had something else waiting for us. At the shelter, we met two tiny Presa Canario mix puppies who had just lost their mama in a tragic accident. They were so small… but somehow, they already understood what it meant to lose everything. We picked one up. And that’s when everything changed. She didn’t relax in our arms. She reached. Right for her brother. Her tiny paws wrapped around him like she was holding onto the only thing she had left in the world. And he… he didn’t hesitate. He buried his face into her neck, holding on just as tightly. No barking. No crying. Just quiet fear… and a bond that was impossible to ignore. Presa mixes are known for loyalty—but this? This was something deeper. This was survival. This was love. We looked at each other… and we knew. There was no way we were separating them. So we didn’t. We adopted both. This photo was taken on the ride home. Two little souls, finally safe, curled up together in our arms… still holding on to each other like they promised they always would. And in that moment, watching them breathe in sync… We realized something powerful— Sometimes the best decisions aren’t the ones you plan. They’re the ones your heart makes for you.

I have a little robot that unlocks my door... from the inside (so I don't have to carry a key) The problem was it wouldn't calibrate on my door. It was designed for 90° turns, but my lock only needs 15° In the past, this would've been a showstopper But I asked AI if it could help... At first, it suggested I snoop on the bluetooth connection to figure out the protocol Then it realized that we could probably just decompile the app's SDK and read its source code. That worked! It told me to switch to my mac and run some python for it. Unfortunately, it couldn't run the scripts directly because Claude Code Desktop didn't have bluetooth permissions, but my shell did. Thinking about it now, I probably should've used Claude Code or Codex in the Terminal. Anyways, it took a while, lots of backs and forths, we had some misunderstandings, it was massively overcautious in the beginning, but we finally got the lock calibrated! Feels like magic! I threw the repo up on github in case anyone in the future (ie me) runs into a similar issue – hopefully it can save them some timeshow more

I’ve had a few questions today that have been... asked multiple times. I thought I’d put the answers out here in case anyone else has the same questions. Yes Candace is going “away” with George on vacation. She didn’t say where. Yes they are moving in a “couple weeks”. (Maybe they are finally moving to Russia). No she didn’t donate the 300k. She said she earned the money. The first thing she did with it was eat at Waffle House. She may give some to the church and her sister. Yes, she was invited to the memorial but not as a speaker. She says she wouldn’t go because Trump and the Feds were arranging it and she didn’t feel safe because too many people were asking if she was. I think it was because she wasn’t asked to speak.show more

Was this “racist”? New York Governor Kathy Hochul :... “Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is,” I don’t see it as being racist. I don’t think she meant to use the word computer, but in an effort to not hang on the word, she just threw out a word like computer. Saying that a lot of people of a certain race who are less well off in the Bronx don’t have a strong vocabulary isn’t racist in my opinion. It’s pointing out the socioeconomic dynamic of the area and how it impacts education based on race. Her intentions are to make sure these people get a better education. Stop concentrating on the wrong things and start trying to solve the problems.show more
