This is the first thing I have laughed at regarding this whole disaster. Thanks, Joel Embiid.

Ray Allen never got the credit he deserved for his role during the Pierce/Garnett/Allen Celtics era. Of those three, he had to sacrifice the most by far and made the most significant alterations to his game. He was particularly great during his second season in Boston.

You’re right about the dipshit part, but may I politely point out that both of her parents are American. Her mother was born in Thailand but has been a US citizen for many years. She’s just as American as any of us.

Get rid of your car and you don’t have this problem anymore.

There will be lots of news stories contrasting the fact that Harvard has a $35 billion endowment with the fact that workers are asking for a minimum salary equal to one-one millionth of that amount.

Isn’t “Do not buy a jersey, you’re an adult” the proper answer to this question?

Good swimmer ≠ badass.

Eastwood served during Korea, but I don’t think he was actually ever sent to Korea.

Who is the biggest wannabe tough guy on that list? Gotta be Eastwood, right?

Each year does indeed have only one October. YET. If you look at all years, there have been many, many Octobers. Over 2,000 of them, in fact. Really makes you think...

While there are opinions, there also exists reality. Things that have and have not happened; things that do and do not exist. This sounds very obvious, but people seem to be increasingly forgetful that reality exists.

You gotta go after someone pretty hard to leave damage like that after they’ve paid a visit to the hospital. I guess there is some ambiguity to the “pulp” part, but I’ll bet you it was a very bloody scene. Look at those stitches!

“The Browns, at No. 2...”

Is there a board game more chill than cribbage?

I agree that most cities face problems tied to segregation. But in Boston it is an exceptionally severe problem when it comes to hispanic communities. There are also many other factors that make Boston a uniquely and messily racist place.

To me, allowing the most heavily hispanic communities to be the region’s worst for raising children is both systemically racist and breeds a type of racism in individuals from affluent communities, who form negative opinions about those places and the people who come from them.

Yes, but I’m talking about not only segregation but opportunity and health in childhood, particularly regarding hispanics. Greater Boston is superlative in its concentration of hispanic people in the worst neighborhoods for children to grow up healthy, educated and safe.

What do you mean Boston was protesting kids getting shipped all over? The court order in 1974 was limited to the Boston School System, not neighboring communities. Milliken v. Bradley, a SCOTUS decision regarding schools in Detroit handed down in the same year, essentially said that mandatory desegregation was limited…

And Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci and Charlie Baker. And Senator Scott Brown.

Just because a state votes in progressives does not mean it is a progressive place in practice. Boston has a unique and complicated system of racism dating back to the late 19th century that spans from the lower classes on up to the affluent, arm chair liberals who live in effectively segregated communities.
