I don't think "widow of Laurence Olivier" belongs in the headline. In the article, sure, but she was famous & accomplished on her own.

Raised in Boston, seasoned in California. Public health, social justice, the Appalachian Trail & other nature spots are my favorite hangouts.
Sad to learn of the passing of the esteemed Professor Charles Ogletree at age 70 after several years of dealing with Alzheimer's. A brilliant and widely loved man, he generously keynoted a breakfast event spotlighting a project I co-founded and was the director of, the City-Wide Dialogues on Boston's Ethnic & Racial Diversity. He's in the photo here.
I guess they're giving Queen Elizabeth, Harry and Meghan a brief rest...
Jackie is back,
taking up the slack,
on the magazine rack.
I've been looking for resources like this. In our era of #alternativefacts #FakeNews and the explosion of #media sources, we need to teach both kids in school and adults how to identify reliable sources of information they can use to form opinions and make decisions. I would add one more suggestion to this graphic:
CORROBORATION? See if the story is also being reported by other well-known media sources.

Very sorry to learn that the great #harrybelafonte has passed at 96. What a life! This is a treasured photo of a meeting at Emerson College with Mr. Belafonte, a civil rights legend in his own right and a great supporter of Dr. King. #civilrights

As far as I know, you CANNOT purchase an M1-Abrams tank or an F-35 jet fighter for personal use. You can purchase handguns & long guns anywhere in this country for personal use but I do NOT understand why you can purchase a semi-automatic AR-15 which was designed for MILITARY use to kill many people quickly & cause maximum damage to the human body. #gunreform #ar15 #MassShooting #nra #CommonSenseGunLaws

The #FBI statement says "Thankfully, nobody was injured." That couldn't be further from the truth. This pilot was traumatized and may suffer lasting harm. It brings me back to 1994 when a 75 year-old minister died of a heart attack after Boston Police raided the wrong apartment. I'll post a link below. Whoever screwed-up should be held accountable and I hope the pilot gets a good lawyer.
I-Team: Federal agents enter wrong Boston hotel room, interrogated man during training
Sharing an opinion I've stated in the past on the role of the #mainstreammedia in 2015-2016 in enabling a malevolent charlatan like #DonaldTrump to ascend to the US presidency.
Don't be too quick to throw out your #COVID at-home test kits. Just found out, via the FDA website, that the expiration dates on these tests have been EXTENDED MORE THAN ONCE. For example, the Roche test in the blue & white box had Aug 9 2022 as the original exp date. That had been extended to Nov 9 when I checked quite a while ago but now it's extended further to Feb 9 2023. Apparently manufacturers accumulate data over time & can state shelf life with greater confidence. #covidtest
