Boston Strong 💛💙

Holy shit - Boston Magazine still exists?

seems like a good chance to honor those that lost their lives, nah a rendered photo of footwear and a heart seems better.

Where's Boston Magazine's tribute to the Iraq War and the 1,000,000 Iraqis who died, and the ~2,000 US troops?

What's that?

Oh! We only want to honor things that reinforce how good we feel about ourselves. Got it.

Eat a bag of rusty nails

I feel ya, but of course Boston Mag was gonna do a 10 year anniversary thing on these morons.

For Iraq introspection and remembering all our democratically elected morons who got us into that dumb and illegal war, you and I will just have to settle for the Useful Idiots podcast, or Breaking Points, etc.

Where is your tribute to the victims of the Black Death?

Remember when the marathon was fun and not a bunch of feel good bullshit? Is it ever going to go back to normal or will we have to do this whole “BOSTON STRONG” thing for eternity? It’s exhausting

Unsurprisingly, they still refuse to acknowledge that in 1997 Tommy O'Conner stole my pencil in math class and then when I took it back he told the teacher I was the one who stole it. Those fucking cowards have been silent on the matter for 26 years.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

Also, who fucking feels good about the marathon bombing?

Anyone who hasn’t should listen to the True anon series on the bombing.

Yeah that graphic is bad

Because a natural plague that occurred 700 years ago is the same as an illegal war that happened twenty years ago.

It was just recently the 20Y anniversary of the Iraq invasion, clearly one of the greatest crimes of the century (when you go to the Security Council, get rejected, then still do it, I don't know what else to say), not widely covered in the media (PBS and Democracy Now had some time devoted to it, others I'm sure as well, specifically on the question: why did we do it -- to try to show we're still the superpower was the unfortunate answer from a top analyst)...still, your comment here is in poor taste.

It’s non-branded running shoes.

You know, like to symbolize a marathon.

Because an illegal war that happened twenty years ago is the same as a terrorist attack on our specific city from half as long ago

“On these morons”

…the victims of a bombing are morons? Wow

Wow it's been ten years? I remember that day and the aftermath so clearly....

I miss the Phoenix and the Dig.

I should clarify apparently the Dig is still around. I no longer live in the area. Although I do miss all the crazy shit you would find in the back of the Phoenix.

Oh man this brings back memories.

Damn its been 10 years already?

Gross pandering.

I remember the cover from 10 years ago, I thought it was nicely done.

I was talking about the bombers, obviously.

The tribute is to victims obviously so you’re statement didn’t make sense contextually. But also, kind of strange to be angry about a magazine cover in remembrance of a tragic event 🧐

>kind of strange to be angry about a magazine cover in remembrance of a tragic event

I completely agree.

The graphic is a homage to the cover of the Boston Magazine issue that came out right after the bombings.
