Reed: Keep politics out of the grocery store

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:15 GMT

Virtue-signaling by well-known brands is nothing new. But if we leave the growing culture of corporate virtue-signaling unchecked, it could have profound consequences for society, thanks to those brands’ legion of followers: a group sometimes called “soy boys.”“Soy boy” is a pejorative social media term used to refer to virtue signalers who talk down to those who disagree with them. They’re the type who post about “saving the planet” and instigate cancel culture pile-ons whenever someone deviates from the agreed narratives.To them, every buying decision is an opportunity to signal virtue. They boast about how they eat cruelty-free peace beans and wear clothes made of recycled materials. They use their free time to shame those who make different choices or say something they don’t like.In an attempt to cater to the loud minority of soy boys, more and more brands are virtue-signaling about how green and “woke” they are. Cultural issues, from gay rights to race and more, have nothing t...

Editorial: Transportation in Massachusetts needs real fixes, not ‘possibilities’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:15 GMT

If you thought that the state’s Department of Transportation needed to tackle the many safety and service issues that have plagued the troubled agency, you’d be wrong.According to the Healey Administration, what’s needed is an Office of Possibility.As the State House News reported, this new office is intended to “bring experimentation” and “different ideas” to the DOT.“Government works in sort of a probability mindset, right? Where you’re taking very little risk, you’re working with experts that are already known to you. So the theory here of a possibility government, is can we take slightly larger risks, knowing that not everything is going to work out? That failure is an outcome. But can we do that on a scale that is small enough where we learn, and we improve the thing until we get it right?” said new Chief of Possibilities Kristopher Carter..In simpler times, that was called “throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.”This Office of Possibility...

‘Barbie’ doesn’t live up to the hype

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:15 GMT

First of all, let’s state the obvious, “Barbie” is a 1-hour and 54-minute advertisement for a Mattel toy. After months of hype, the often boring and mediocre live-action “Barbie” has arrived, narrated in silky tones by Helen Mirren and amusingly riffing on the 1968 film landmark “2001: A Space Odyssey.”“Barbie” was directed by Greta Gerwig (“Little Women”) and co-written by her and her indie film-making husband Noah Baumbach (“The Squid and the Whale”). It begins with Barbie (Margot Robbie) living in the pink, idyllic, matriarchal “Barbieland” where we first meet her and her friends based on the many iterations of “Barbie,” including a President Barbie (Issa Rae), residing in a pink White House. In the form of Robbie, Barbie is very nice and polite, a Stepford wife in the making, you might say. She is “Stereotypical Barbie.” She has diverse friends, including Black, Asian, Latina and trans Barbies.The original Barbie is admittedly an impossible standard for most little girls, ...
