For awhile I’ve been wondering when the Boston Globe and the New York Times, now that they’re under the same corporate management, will begin to move their news coverage together– when the Globe will begin to look like a regional edition of the Times, basically. Well, they’ve started with the web sites: The Globe now uses an annoying registration system, just like the Times! Whoo!
And you’ll need to register to read this article about how the Boston-area foreclosure rate is way, way, way up: nearly fifty percent in the past year. That’s more than the price of homes, you’ll note, which up some slightly-less-astronomical percentage.
And to round out the trio, news about how people are angry about the way some people fuck: people hate gay people in the US and also in Spain, which is not entirely the fun-loving kinkster’s paradise that Pedro Almodovar always made it out to be.
