Photos of the lovely block party that Councilor Flynn tried to cancel, and will very likely blow up in the Herald and Mass Daily News. Flynn has already trashed the host as “an influencer of some sort,” a Southie resident that I understand lives around the corner, on Broadway.

Two weeks from Election Day and still zero reporting from any news outlets on this. A major party Senate candidate had a sexual relationship with a 15 year old—as a full grown adult—and wrote about it in his own memoir. #mapoli wmasspi.com/2026/10/op-ed-pl…

Marinating chicken overnight pushes the flavor in about as deep as a nickel is thick. Leave a chicken breast in soy sauce for 12 hours, cut it in half, and the middle tastes like you never bothered. America's Test Kitchen tested this on chicken breasts soaked in soy sauce and red wine, since both leave a color line you can see. They shaved 3 millimeters off the outside, and that cut went a full 2 millimeters past the deepest spot either marinade had reached. Kenji López-Alt got the same result and put the overnight number at a millimeter or two. It comes down to size. Meat is mostly water packed between tight bundles of protein. Salt breaks into tiny charged bits that can slip through that water. Sugar molecules are huge by comparison, and most of the flavor in herbs and spices dissolves in oil, which the water inside meat pushes away. Then the whole thing sits in a fridge, where the cold slows everything down even more. Even salt is slow. Greg Blonder, a Harvard-trained physicist who tests barbecue science for AmazingRibs, found salt takes almost 24 hours to travel 1 inch into meat. That's really the one thing the overnight wait does for you. It gives the salt time to reach the middle, while everything else in the bowl sits on the surface, which is honestly where flavor counts most anyway, since the outside is what browns and hits your tongue first. Acid is where a long soak backfires. Lemon juice and vinegar only loosen the proteins on the outside, and after enough hours that outer layer goes soft and mushy while the inside stays as tough as when you started. The cuisines that are best at marinating figured this out with a knife. Chinese stir-fry slices meat so thin that the center is only about an eighth of an inch from the surface, so a short soak gets all the way through. Tandoori chicken gets slashed deep before the yogurt goes on, which gives the marinade way more surface to grab onto. Cooks in both places worked out the geometry long before anyone measured how fast flavor moves through meat. So when a recipe springs an overnight step on you 16 minutes in, salt the meat right away, score it, and give the marinade 30 minutes before it hits the pan. That 12-hour wait was buying you about a nickel's worth of flavor.

An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is a textbook example of voter fraud.

Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

I told you @YawuMiller when we spoke on the phone last night that I was reporting the numbers @BostonSchools sent me. I would never make up numbers or lie! I told you that each incident varies in severity, but there were 744 cases of sexual assault reported last year.
