Following criticism directed at Governor Maura Healey for her decision to open a migrant shelter in Roxbury's community center, Boston has now witnessed the inauguration of a migrant shelter within an office building in the Seaport area. This relocation signals a response to the concerns raised, aiming to alleviate tensions surrounding the initial choice of location. The move underscores the delicate balance between addressing humanitarian needs and respecting community sentiments, highlighting the complexities inherent in accommodating migrant populations within urban spaces. As Boston navigates these challenges, Maura Healey's decision to establish the shelter in Seaport reflects a conscientious effort to foster inclusivity and support while considering the concerns of local residents.

Imagine a disgusting green world where the buildings have decayed, the streets are filled with garbage and people walk among them as if nothing has happened. How can this be you ask? How can something like this happen? A scenario where society has fallen yet people still walk around town happily as ever.

A fictional scenario: You are a young kid growing up with social media and the technology we have today. How independent would your upbringing be if every opinion you saw, had a like counter behind it. How would you feel if certain behaviors resulted in more likes? and some resulted in less. Would you do the things that get likes? or would you do what you truly want?

Dune Part 2 Review
By: Joe Finkel
(score at the bottom)
I am aware of how long movies are becoming these days and how most people are sick of that. I do however think Dune 2 could have used another 30-40 minutes. The film was awesome, the sound effects and music were great. The side characters had their own things going on such as the internal drama of the Harkonnen people and the Bene Gesserit. It was cool seeing the mother become lady Jessica and have her own story line as well.
The ending felt a bit rushed to me, as in the last battle everyone met at the same place and just began fighting. It seemed like it came and went very quickly.
Stilgar was one of my favorite characters, and I definitely need someone hyping me up like that in my life. Anything Paul would do, this guy Stilgar would be watching, nodding his head and saying "yes, as written" referring to a prophecy. If I had that I would either be the most confident or cocky human in the world.
There were some links to religion and faith that i felt like were relevant to the present day. The fact that they started a holy war and explicitly called it that. Also the Chani people prayed and lived similarly to Palestinians.
No spoilers but Paul sells out in the end, and also a lot of people are furious about that and making memes already. Pictured below, Source: Twitter
Overall Score: 83% |
Dune 2 was much better than the first one.

Since when has walking and biking become weird?
Do you remember back in the good old days, how much you would walk around with your friends, and how normal it would be to walk to your destination? You wouldn't even notice how long it took and you wouldn't complain.
Biking to a destination was also a common activity, at least for my friend group, and I suspect for many others as well.

These acts weren't considered out of the ordinary.
I said I walked here today to someone at pressed cafe, and they almost seemed confused and asked "you walked here??"
We've gotten so used to our cars and conveniences that I think
we have gone so far down the innovation rabbit hole that we have looped back around to stupidity. A comedian Shane Gillis had an incredible anecdote about the "
Peleton" bike. It was something along the lines of a person from a third world country asking about the
Peleton, they ask the U.S citizen, oh its a two thousand dollar bike, must be pretty fast, and the westerner responds, no it actually doesn't move at all. The foreigner asks, well it must power a lot of electricity, no the westerner responds it actually uses a lot of electricity and has a giant screen on top. The foreigner then confused asks well does it churn some kind of food or anything? No the westerner responds, why would I need it to do that I can just have someone deliver me
Doordash on their bike.
This is the perfect visualization of what is happening. Instead of actually riding bikes to get our food our walking, we are using technology to get the same exercise we would just doing the real thing, and paying someone else to get our food for us, also with tech. In a way both things could be cancelled out by just riding a bike to get your own food.

Why I HATE Video Games.
Where do I even begin? Many will hate me for writing this but I must stand for what I believe in. I stopped playing video games in 8th grade. There is nothing good about video games. Once I realized all the time spent on these games was going towards absolutely nothing in the real world, I was done. Yes, some make the argument that it is relaxing, I have heard the argument before. |

There are many other ways to relax that can still benefit you in the real world. For example, the sauna is relaxing, yet it also has health benefits for your actual body, not your character in a made-up world. Exercising, in general, is another good example, painting, reading, and even just hanging out with your friends and having a real conversation is relaxing and a good source of dopamine, while also training your social skills. The list goes on and on. There is literally no good reason to be playing video games all day, even if you are being paid for it. The fact that 1% of video game players get paid to play, is enough for lazy people to use it as a validation for gaming non-stop. Even if this is your career, I would argue that you're just taking a check to not do anything productive or real all day and further the illusion that this is a viable career option for young kids.
