They’re asking Bruins players to pronounce towns in New England (Billerica, Tyngsboro, etc.) This is mean.

#8. James Smith, Fri 03/01/1963. 63 years ago today around 245am, James, aged 28, was fatally shot in their apartment at 29 Wyoming St in Roxbury. They were sitting in the kitchen with two female friends when a “stranger” suddenly opened fire on James. The suspect fled from the apartment into a parked car and drove off. I’m using the gender-neutral “they” for James because they were wearing women’s clothes in the privacy of their own home, an obvious indicator they were trans or gender non-conforming. Researcher implausiblegrrl identified James as the earliest known trans/GNC homicide victim in Boston. I added an entry for James on the TDOR database a couple years ago based on this research. As noted in @emilysweeney's article on BPD’s new unsolved web pages, James has the distinction of being the oldest unsolved homicide from 1963. James’ TDOR page: tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports/1963/0… Globe article on the new web pages: bostonglobe.com/2025/10/17/met… police.boston.gov/1963-unsolved-…

Two churches destroyed by arson, in the same Boston neighborhood, just a few years apart. Who set them on fire? #truestory #dorchester #unsolved #mystery

I caught up with Marty Walsh in Milan. We talked Boston’s failed bid for the 2024 Games. Italy’s spread-out model was exactly what he envisioned for New England. How did the Olympic bid get out of grasp for Boston? His thoughts ⤵️ bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/spo…
