If you thought PR emails were bad before, let me introduce you to ChatGPT! Nothing worse than fake customization/care. It's always the follow up questions that give it away...

Turkeys were deliberately reintroduced! And all Boston metro birds are descended from that original small group. It’s a wild story: bleav.com/shows/explai...

Look at what my music supervisor/husband did!

I fear the Philadelphia Phillies might never score again.

Explain Boston to Me: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist with Geoff Kelly The biggest art theft in history remains unsolved — but the former lead FBI agent on the case has some theories. That would be Geoff Kelly, author of the new book, Thirteen Perfect Fugitives: The True...

Finally got to learn more about the greatest art heist in history. Everybody keep your eyes peeled for those paintings!

So VERY similar to the Barnes!

good morning. our long national nightmare is over.

Husband book stuff.

Do you think was because a lot of the fans were not Gillette regulars? Like do Pats fans know better? Because it is so hard to believe that this is the norm — especially when people are paying $$$$ for Pats tickets.

Listening to the latest ep, @stabert.bsky.social, and... yeah, that traffic SUCKED. We were stuck in it too... White Stadium can't be finished soon enough. Can't wait to walk to Legacy matches.

Yes. This is a great idea.

Might print this out and hang it above my bed.

So good

Your olympics coverage was incredible. My husband kept joking that I had to limit my use of the phrase "According to Rodger Sherman..." to five times per day max. Kept blowing past it! Please do the Tour de France next.

Explain Boston to Me Podcaster and Philly transplant Lee Stabert learns about Boston. She’ll never be a native, but she might just learn to speak the language.

Also, @joshgondelman.bsky.social, please come on my podcast, Explain Boston to Me!

This is very good and funny. BUT Curt Schilling played for the Phillies! For eight years!! Much longer than he was on the Red Sox. He was the 1993 NLCS MVP.

It’s officially Phillies season

@stabert.bsky.social Tom Burke nails the critical cultural question about the Beanpot.

Harvard = Boston Brahmins
BC = Irish Catholics
BU = Transplants
Northeastern = Everyone Else

Great episode.

The Norwegian skier crashing out after blowing it in the slalom is the most relatable thing I've ever seen. I, too, would simply trudge across the mountain and then lie down in the snow alone. #olympics

😬

This piece made me tear up.

We need to find a way to tell the youths about alt-weeklies so they restart them

Explain Boston to Me: The Boston Massacre with Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King Let’s call this the “time is a flat circle” episode. Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King from the Get Shocked podcast and Boston History Company are here to talk about the Boston Massacre. We discuss ...

Let's call this the "time is a flat circle" episode. Talking Boston Massacre, and the moments throughout history when theoretical violence becomes real violence.

And I'll pay!

Nooooo! Just did my diehard survey and said how the newsletter is my favorite thing/main point of contact. Will follow you anywhere.

RIP to Dan. His "A decade of Philly sports fans on the TV news" video from the other site is pure gold.

Just when you think the world can't get any darker...
