A photo of two lanterns shining from Old North Church's steeple in Boston.

On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord by way of the Charles River.

Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.

There’s stuff computers can do well and will do. But we’re barely past “Sue grandma for one mp3” and these companies slurped up all human creation and then spit it back out, often wrong, and say “we deserve all the money and you should be fired” They are begging for revolution against them.

So nice Masa is getting a time to shine.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

You get Jerrified though and the magic really happens

Peter Seidler seemed to genuinely love the Padres and San Diego and spent with that in mind rather than bottom line and the value of the investment exploded. I just find that interesting

TEXT: ONE BOSTON DAY 4.15 IMAGE: Photo of David Ortiz from 2013 shows him with his fist in the air, speaking into a microphone just in front of the mound at Fenway Park. The American flag is draped over the Monster and Ortiz wears a white uniform that reads “Boston” across the chest.

Today we honor & celebrate the strength of our city. 💛💙

Did you know: There's HD video of Here Comes The Pizza?

In the last few months I've seen at least four friends launch Substacks, and for the first few I gently suggested alternatives and was completely ignored. Not sure if I should keep doing that or if it's just seen as being a scold.

It’s depressing. An area with many good alternatives and (relatively) little friction vs other problematic owners but people just shrug and start writing so they can verb a noun.

All the “no team starting X-Y ever made the playoffs” takes didn’t account the whole league being mid!

Nailed the JD peace talks too!

Red Sox win 9-3.
2.0 games out of first in the AL East.
2.0 games out of a Wild Card.

“We want to destroy the humanities as a field, we only want people working vocations, we don’t want you thinking, speaking, writing for yourself.”

Is, once again, a Saturday morning cartoon villain’s plot.

But N64 Rock is classic!

My wife also says it’s easier to read while the game is on when there is no John Smoltz

Love this new FOX broadcast without commentary

Where is the “Nomar in case of emergency”?

Absolutely bonkers play

At least they alternate with Marcelo “You bum!” Mayer.

An AirTag notification saying “luggage” left behind. This item is no longer detected near you. It was last seen near the North Atlantic Ocean.

I had one briefly chime in to say the suitcase was over the ocean. Technically it was, but it was on the plane 🤣

Rockies win and "Peter Brand" just walks off into the sunset 🤣
