Nothing like the pleasant surprise of finding a package on the porch with a book you pre-ordered months ago. Can’t wait to read this, @keithob.bsky.social!

Can a chatbot be a co-author? — Harvard Gazette Physicists take a souped-up ChatGPT out for a spin and return home with a significant discovery.

Happy to report that I started a new job earlier this month on the editorial team at Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. First story posted today! About AI's role in solving a thorny theoretical physics problem news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Dan McQuade My friend — and yours, and his, and hers, and hers, and ....

He was the internet's friend, but he was mine, too.

A few photos from the celebration of his life. Incredible to learn that 97yo sculptor Nancy Schön — the artist who made the Make Way for Ducklings sculptures in the Public Garden — is designing a work of public art in tribute to Rescue! @neads-wcsd.bsky.social

Rescue, a very good dog, named country’s best The 5-year-old service dog came into Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes’ lives after they were injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing

Wonderful to see so many people turn out in the snow today to the @bpl.boston.gov to pay tribute to the amazing Rescue (2012-2025) — a very good dog, and my all-time favorite story subject (from 2017) www.boston.com/news/local-n...

This story is so well done — and so sad, infuriating, and affecting, for all who love The Post and for anyone who grew up so enamored with their hometown metro (be it the nation’s hometown paper or any other) that it propelled them into a career

Love this. No notes. (Well, maybe one.) ☀️☃️🏖️

My final take on the Celtics trade is that I hope for great things for Anfernee Simons the rest of his career.

And maybe that includes coming back here someday.

A screenshot of an obit for Dan. The headline reads: “Dan McQuade, a Catalyst in Cosby’s Downfall, Dies at 43.” It includes a photo of Dan as well.

The Garden State Parkway's Jon Bon Jovi Rest Stop Is Playing Fast And Loose With Famous Quotes | Defector CHEESEQUAKE, N.J. — Have you ever scored a touchdown? I never played real football, so my own experiences have been pretty low-key, but man, did they feel great. I think I remember almost all of them—...

Here's a thread of some Dan McQuade blogs that we really loved 🦅

I only overlapped with Dan for a year on the sports staff at The Daily Pennsylvanian, so I’ve mostly admired him from afar, one of many fans of his hilarious, humane, endlessly creative, and distinctively Philly body of work. Wonderful to see him being recognized, but what a terrible loss.

The Boston accent is disappearing. How much longer will its music linger? - The Boston Globe From call-in radio shows to corner bars, the accent that defined Boston is losing ground. A Dartmouth linguist has research to prove it.

The Boston accent may be in retreat, but I just heard an amazing announcement about a double-parked “blue Teeyoter” outside the Star Market in Packards Corner

Thanks, Susan!

Got galleys last night! Very exciting! Had some help from a 6yo scissors-wielder who loves to open packages, and who didn’t even exist yet when my agent (Wendy Strothman) first encouraged me to pursue this story as a book! @stmartinspress.bsky.social

Thank you so much for this! By the way, I was an intern at the Arizona Republic back in 2001, and I have a cousin in Sedona!

I have no memory of this, but the Celtics actually won that one, and 18-year-old rookie Kobe Bryant scored 2 points on 1 of 7 shooting

Watching the Pats at my childhood home. Just found this 11/27/1996 Celtics-Lakers ticket while helping my 6yo look unsuccessfully for some old coin albums. Incredible that it was $10 — before variable game pricing even for season ticket holders

What should become of the Time Out Market space? - The Boston Globe A few deeply unserious ideas. (What, you got something better?)

This was so much fun to read, amid the otherwise crummy news of the market’s closure. @devrafirst.bsky.social at her best www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/16/l...

Wonderful to see a packed house — and so many old and dear Globe friends — for the amazing Janice Page and YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social tonight

I had forgotten the name “Whitman Coin Folder,” but it’s reassuring to know these blue albums I loved as a kid remain unchanged across the decades, still with the power to captivate a screen-obsessed 6-year-old.

After the 67th day of school party, my 6yo asked if we could get an ILOVE67 license plate. I said no, because it costs extra and because we may not be excited about 6-7 forever. Then a friend spotted this

Could it be from the 1970 Topps Super Baseball set? The cards are larger (more like a photo size, 3 1/8” x 5 1/4”) than normal and don’t have any writing or border, just a big portrait and facsimile signature www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/super-size-1...

I missed it, so I did a google image search for cardinal and robin and he confirmed it was definitely a cardinal. “It was beautiful!” he said. “Do you think it heard us say that?”

“Is that a red pigeon?” my six-year-old asked, spotting a cardinal near Coolidge Corner.

Wonder if the Guinness Book people have any interest in this one
