One of the things I love most of Bostonโ€™s North End in the winter is the smell. You walk by Mikeโ€™s, you can practically taste the powdered sugar in the air. North Square is saturated (in the best way) with garlic.

I never donโ€™t leave this neighborhood somehow simultaneously full and starving.

Live updates: Trump defends using troops to police U.S. cities in address to military leaders The gathering, at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, was ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and required some officers to fly thousands of miles.

In his speech, Hegseth promised to continue firing officers seen as unsupportive of the presidentโ€™s agenda.

โ€œFor too long, weโ€™ve promoted too many uniformed leaders for the wrong reasons โ€” based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historic so-called firsts,โ€ Hegseth said.

Why Literary Festivals Still Matter What does a punk drummer have to do with a scholar of caste in India, or a border reporter who has walked for years with coyotes? At first glance, almost nothing. But their work, their testimonies,โ€ฆ

"The time we devote to others in person has shrunk, almost without our noticing. A festival interrupts that trend."

The letter that Pete Hegseth's mom wrote to him in 2018 is incontestably damning. Moms often have such selectively rosy sentiments toward their sons that we have cliches about it. But Pete was such a monumental shithead to women that his mom could not stay silent. Incredible stuff.
