What to say after a State of the City address like the one we watched Wednesday night… welp. In today’s episode Chris and I digest a crazy couple weeks of news and what it all says about our ungovernable and irredeemable little city.
The GoPro video of Moe Bergman’s campaign event
Thomas Duffy on WBUR and a Worcester Sucks rundown of his greatest hits (literally).
MassLive: “ICE agents injured Worcester mother during raid, won’t give her meds, attorney says”
Also: I (Bill) am still working on the proper weekly post. There’s a lot to get to. Either later tonight or Sunday. A Russian dude I worked with many many years ago, on the sandwich line at a deli in Harvard Square, once told an impatient customer ‘you cannot rush perfection.’ What he said about a sandwich I am now saying to you about a newsletter edition. And yes, before you ask, I am doing the accent.
Oh and you’ll notice the outro music… that’s a Bill Shaner original. I made a Bandcamp this week to serve as a clearinghouse for this silly little soundbite electronica I’ve been making to help me laugh off the trauma. Check it out.
