I’m speaking at Sunshine Fest later this morning about court transparency. I’ll be talking about this crowdsourced Google doc that occasionally goes viral among reporters (is that a thing?) It’s a guide to searching state court records across the country: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I definitely asked this last Olympics, too, but … is there a newsletter or account that will just give me the rundown of what to watch the next day? Like, here’s what’s worth getting up live for, who is in the finals, etc? I know there’s google but I want the STORIES.
Absolutely not
Wondering if there’s a grosser way to get your White Castle? The Delta terminal at Logan has you covered.
This Packers-Bears game (and the Bears fan they keep showing grating parmesan in the stands) is reminding me of this classic Patriots shirt from Super Bowl XXXI.
Woohoo! Can't wait to read.
I made up a thing called the "Full Massachusetts," which is eating every state food in a meal. BUT I bet some of you out there have a much better suggestion for the ultimate Massachusetts meal. Tell me at the link!
Thinking about taking a pause from drinking in 2026? Or are you already sober? Come to CitySpace this Friday for a panel and NA bev tasting. I'll be there with author and The Luckiest Club founder Laura McKowen, Dry Humor bottle shop founder CJ Mutti, and Mountainside Treatment Center's Jana Wu.
And if you want to know even *more* about about these crimes, the people whose body parts were stolen, and the gray market for human remains .. we have a podcast series about this whole case. www.wbur.org/podcasts/las...
There's a whole world of people buying and selling human remains, mostly online (and especially on Facebook). Read more abut them here: www.wbur.org/news/2024/06...
It was Jeremy Pauley's arrest that exposed a nationwide network of human remains trading that ensnared Harvard Medical School. Prosecutors say Pauley made at least $250K buying and selling fetal remains, skin and other organs. Today, a judge sentenced him to six years in prison.
I’ve been covering this case since it broke 2.5 years ago and have a whole podcast about it. We go way beyond just the crime and try to answer the big questions like: how do we treat the dead? www.wbur.org/podcasts/las...
The former Harvard Medical School morgue manager who stole body parts and shipped them across the country was sentenced to eight years in prison. His wife gets a year. Here’s what I heard in court in Pennsylvania today:
TODAY at noon eastern: I’ll be talking about the Knight-Wallace fellowship for journalists at the University of Michigan with @umwallacehouse.bsky.social staff. Hear all about how to apply, what the year is like, how to make it work. wallacehouse.umich.edu?p=30991
Come talk to me about how a fellowship can be for you!
Periwinkle! That's it.
The official name is "Storm Blue" so I guess he's right but ... it looks purple!
I like the new Patriots jerseys but my husband and I disagree about what color they are. I say they look purple. He says blue. Is this like The Dress all over again?
Headed to the Boston Book Festival today? Come check out my conversation with @juliaioffe.bsky.social and Fatemeh Jamalpour. Whatever you think you know about women in Russia and Iran, there's more to the story. Hear it from these extraordinary authors. sched.co/27cUh
A lawsuit filed against John Hancock uncovered details that shocked the women:
- executives waited 49 days to call police
- an invoice shows someone at Hancock bought the same type of camera with company money
www.wbur.org/news/2025/10...
Women I spoke to said they assumed that Hancock would do the right thing and find the person who placed the hidden camera in a locker room. But now they say those at the top seem to have been more interested in protecting the company than finding the perpetrator.
I was just looking at the excellent round-up of how to access state court records around the country created by @allyjar.bsky.social. I'd encourage any lawyers or journalists to update the info for their state (if needed). #courtrecords #courts #journalism docs.google.com/document/d/1...
telling gmail to delete all "@substack.com" emails feels like throwing out a stack of new yorkers.
And I’m mailing two letters!
I’ve written three paper checks today. Ask me about what it’s like to have been born in the late 1900s.
Want to feel old? Look at what you can borrow from the library:
Lauren breaks down the facts and complicated feelings about the arrest of Eric Spofford, who is charged with orchestrating retaliatory vandalism against her and others.
The ICE facility in a Burlington office park was never supposed to be a detention center. But it's where many people have been kept for days or weeks in "abysmal" conditions after being arrested by ICE. Great reporting by @miriamwasser.bsky.social
