- I thought I was the only journalist who had discovered someone in the Epstein Files made a purchase at the Papa Gino's and now-closed Auntie Annes at the Westborough Massachusetts turnpike rest stop, but it looks the Community Advocate beat me to it. www.communityadvocate.com/news/central...

- Not sure why this ended up in my feed but it's bonkers. The storm didn't hit Antigua, they are by no means trapped there. They could easily find a place to stay that isn't an all-inclusive. Now a NY politician wants the feds to threaten Antigua over it. longisland.news12.com/wantagh-fami...

- Here are all the available details on the 19-story building planned for Downtown Worcester.
- Reposted by Eric CaseyThis seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.
- "Everyone is moving out of [this city or town] because its too crowded" is a comment I see on a lot of stories about new housing developments. Yogi Berra would be proud of that logic.
- NEW: More apartments planned for Worcester's Canal District. If completed, revenue from this project would help the City pay for Polar Park. wbjournal.com/article/deve...

- So far today the House Speaker has made a joke about suicide and blamed the holiday season for a month-long delay in the CCC overhaul bill negotiations.
- Got to see this amazing piece of Worcester history today
- I always love hearing from our readers! I'll make sure my next article about some warehouses being sold from one investment firm to another is at least 3,000 words.
- Even though our coverage areas overlap, credit where credit is due. This is a nice look at the issues facing the old Buca Di Beppo site, with some good behind-the-scenes insight. www.communityadvocate.com/news/a-water...
- If you're thinking about getting me an AP Stylebook subscription or a newspaper-scented candle for Christmas, consider just cutting me entirely out of your life instead. mediablog.prnewswire.com/2025/11/20/g...

- Never good when the pilot starts off by saying "I wish I could tell you it's going to be a smooth flight, but..."
- I'm flying tomorrow. I have to get up at 5 a.m. but I'll keep reminding myself the transportation secretary ordered me to be in a good mood. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go press my suit.
- This is widespread enough that I think we can stop referring to petitioners lying as allegations. It is certainly happening, and is not just limited to this ballot question.
- I've never felt older than trying to explain six-seven to our audience.
- NEW: The CCC is back to four members, as Ava Callender Concepcion has resigned, according to the AG's office (who appointed her). This comes just days after Carrie Benedon was appointed to fill another vacant CCC seat and as the House and Senate consider legislation to overhaul the agency.
- The car is finally paid off, so I assume it will burst into flames at any moment.
