Heartbreaking to report on this story out of my home state: 4 of the people killed in Lewiston were Deaf, and had been at a Deaf cornhole league event.
It has sent shockwave through the tight-knit Deaf community in Maine and across the country @GBHNews

I've said "Hi, Barbie!" to at least a dozen strangers so far this weekend. How much longer can I call out folks wearing pink before those strangers' smiles and laughs turn to confusion? #Barbie

A measure of how hyped Boston is for Barbenheimer:
Coolidge Corner Theatre usually sells 100 or so advance tickets for a hotly anticipated movie.
@SeanMBurns reports they've already sold over 3,000 tickets for “Barbie” and 2,100 for “Oppenheimer.”

You may have walked Boston's iconic Freedom Trail. But the stories told along the trail are often incomplete and narrow in perspective. This new, interactive map from @GBHNews changes that. @GBH @Singer @LisaJWardle @jbmckim wgbh.org/news/local-news/map…

I got mixed responses, but it's clear—nightlife could be better.
What do YOU think? youtube.com/watch?v=lLe0UuE8…
