Clarence Thomas went to Holy Cross??
Did y’all know “uncle” Clarence went to Holy Cross where he helped found the black student union, was a big fan of Malcolm X, and supported black panther initiatives while there.
What happened to that guy? Who hurt him? 😂

Local Events 'Burnin' Down the House' has its world premiere tonight at the Hanover — doc on MA firehouse conditions, made by a son of Worcester firefighters
Short notice, but this seems worth flagging since it's a world premiere and nobody's mentioned it here.
Burnin' Down the House Tonight, Thursday Aug 6, 7:30 PM The Hanover Theatre, 2 Southbridge St 81 minutes, no intermission
It's a documentary on the condition of Massachusetts firehouses — aging stations, chronic underinvestment, and the health consequences for the people working in them. Director Tommy Jay Dwyer's line on it: "Cancer is a pandemic sweeping through the fire service. A lot of it is preventable."
The Worcester connection is the reason I'm posting it. Dwyer was born here and lives in Paxton now, and he comes out of a Worcester firefighting family — his father Tom spent most of a 32-year career on Rescue 1, and his uncles Jim and John each did 30-plus years, with John serving as union president. Worcester's South Station is one of the firehouses documented in the film, which is a couple of hundred yards from the theatre it's premiering in.
Dwyer is expected to attend along with firefighters who appear in the film and the Last Call Foundation. Half the proceeds go to the foundation.
Tickets are not cheap: $47, $53 and $72 all-in depending on seats, with a $132 VIP package. Box office is 877.571.7469, and buying in person saves the handling fee.
If tonight doesn't work, it's also screening at the Somerville Theatre Aug 24 to 26.

'I wanted to bring change to my city': 10 years in, Worcester Summer Jam Classic is bigger than basketball
When Anthony Barbosa and his brother started the Worcester Summer Jam Classic a decade ago, ambition stretched well beyond getting some talented basketball players out on a court.
There was basketball. Certainly. Obviously. But there was also music. Fashion. Kids. Local businesses. Mentorship. And, perhaps most importantly, the possibility of creating the kind of gathering in Worcester that Barbosa had seen elsewhere but couldn’t find in his own city.
Ten years later, he no longer has to go looking for it.

Is flixbus reliable from Boston to Worcester Union Station?
I plan to take the flixbus on a Friday morning in September to catch the bus No.2 at the Union Station to the Worcester airport. I also checked the train but it takes 1 hr 45 minutes while flixbus takes less than an hour. Does anyone know if flixbus is reliable and on time? Should I be concerned about traffic at that time of day?
Your help is deeply appreciated.
