Bostonist never thought of Bill Belichick as cover material, unless one counts the awesomeness of the Sports Illustrated cover with Belichick as Santa. But a few gay males might get a surprise when they pick up the latest issue of Spirit Magazine, "Boston's Premier Magazine for the Gay and Lesbian Community." Because there's Bill Belichick's mug and hoodie alternative on the cover. Fabulous it is not.

All the Bostonists got together and thought of how to deal what is admittedly a rough day.

How many credit cards do you have in there? How many pieces of plastic that identify you, confirm your existence, enable your participation in our corporate economy? How many of these actually reveal...
MIT has gotten a bad rap in the press lately after sodium that may have come from the school burned volunteers cleaning up the Charles. It only got worse when MIT student Star Simpson spaced out, forgot to take off a sweatshirt with a circuit board on it, and freaked out Logan Airport staff. Right after Simpson was arrested and hauled to court, the MIT brass put out a statement calling Simpson's actions "reckless." That...

Not only is Harvard rich, but its students know a) how to use condoms and b) how to find the campus student health center. Last Friday, the Crimson shared the news that, according to a study by Trojan condoms, Harvard students were models of sexual health. Author Christian Flow captures the excitement with the headline "Trojan Surprise: Harvard Rises Up in Sex Survey." Then Flow writes that Harvard used to be "frustrated" since it wasn't...
Even though the number of shootings in the city have dropped, the number of stabbings has gone up 10 percent. Maria Cramer at the Globe reports that gangs are sending word that knives are preferable to guns because there's less punishment if someone is caught with one. Of course, plenty of guns are out there. The BPD found a hidden AK-47 with a full banana clip last night. The good news about this stat is...
Tom Brady has been opening his mouth a lot lately. Today, he brushed off TapeGate as nothing, but he is also taking a stab at giving men dating advice. Here's what he had to say in an interview with Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated: "You can't let them know you're that interested. I try to get this across to my best friend. He's really into this girl, but I keep telling him she's got to...
The Darfur/Darfur Exhibit will be at the Institute of Contemporary Art on Friday, September 7, in the Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater. The exhibit of photographs will run from 10 am to 3 pm and is free with regular admission. Tickets to the lecture and Yo-Yo Ma performance are already sold out, but you will be able to hear it outside the ICA. Sometimes "awareness-raising" only goes so far, especially when it comes to...
A hot-pink color scheme. A dead ringer for Kate Bosworth on the cover. A first chapter that opens with lyrics from Loverboy's "Workin' for the Weekend." No kidding. Restless Virgins, a book on the Milton Academy sex scandal, just screams, "Bourgeois sex! Bourgeois sex! Yippee skippy!" The sex scandal in question didn't involve teachers (Exhibit A: Arlington's school system) but a 2005 incident in which one girl was - ahem - orally satisfying the sexual...
Our mothership, Gothamist, interviewed author Sarah Vowell this week. In that interview, Vowell revealed the topic of her new book – the Puritans! She's been hunting in our own backyard for information about Puritan history in the 17th century.
The latest hot YouTube video comes from the Tweeter Center parking lot, where some fans started beating the ever-loving hell out of each other before a 311 concert. Watch and learn the physical signs of the bonehead - their shirtless, tattoed torsos, their sweaty flesh, and their ability to take a punch:
Christy Mihos - former wild-card candidate for governor, best known for running an animated ad showing Big Dig officials sticking their own heads up their butts – is co-chair of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, the group that vociferously opposes Cape Wind. Recently, it looked like Mihos was stepping up to the plate with an actual alternative to the original Cape Wind plan, which would put turbines in Nantucket Sound. He volunteered the sites...
Mayor Menino's looked like he's had steam coming from his ears before. Exhibit A: Aqua Teen Hunger Force. But, recently, he's come quite close to having steam literally coming from his ears. An explosion caused by steam in an old pipe rattled New York City, killing one and leaving a gaping hole in a street near Grand Central. Now Mayor Menino is wondering if a similar explosion could happen here. The sudden awareness of the...
Rescue Dawn will appear at the Somerville Theatre tomorrow, Thursday, June 28, at 7:30 pm. It's free, and it's part of the IFFBoston Screening Series.
Former (we say that with relief!) Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney has been making quite a few enemies this week. Let's find out who is on his sh*t list now:
The Ron Borges been-caught-stealin' story ain't over. The Globe reporter who was suspended for two months without pay for taking content from the Tacoma News Tribune has stirred up quite the ethical debate over at Deadspin.
While it might not seem possible judging from the creaky antics of bands like the Rolling Stones, there are some rock musicians who age well. Exhibit A would be Mission of Burma. Exhibit B would be Kristin Hersh, who will be performing at Newbury Comics on Newbury Street at 6:00 pm tonight. Hersh's new record, Learn to Sing Like a Star, out on Yep Roc, is the latest in her 20-year career. Hersh, along with...
Today The Smoking Gun posted a copy of the federal court complaint filed by New England Patriot's own Tom Brady against Yahoo!. The suit was dated November 20, and filed November 29. It points out Brady's gripe, or more precisely his management company's gripe, that our very own superstar of football's image was ripped off by Yahoo! and used without his permission to promote their Fantasy Football endeavors. Four counts of illegal action are cited including the fancy legalese of "False Endorsement Under the Federal Lanham Act," "Violation of Statutory Rights of Publicity," "Violation of Common Law Rights of Publicity," and "Unjust Enrichment."
When Bostonist went through grade school Ben Franklin was the gold standard of inventor/kite-flyer, revolutionary, patriot, journalist, abolitionist and all-around model American. Born on Milk Street here in Boston in 1706, affection for Franklin and the many accomplishments in his life have long been used as a teaching tool for the Bay State chillins. Major news media is reporting today that Star Wars may usurp Franklin’s position. “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination'' which will open tomorrow at the Museum of Science has been touted not only as a Star Wars fan’s wet dream but also a teaching tool about modern science. The $5 million exhibit displays parts of sets and costumes used in the six movies, the original trilogy and the more recent prequel trilogy. In the hands-on fashion that the Museum of Science uses in may of their exhibits people can build their own simple ‘Maglev’ trains which use magnetic propulsion while looking at some of the wicked cool space ships and hovercraft used in the Star Wars series.
Secondly, Bostonist has learned about proper behavior. After their sold-out Axis show on Friday night, Mike H., The Bravery's bassist, was aggressive in the line waiting to get into the Brit-pop dance night The Pill--which featured a performance by The Information--at Allston club Great Scott. A couple of sources and some discussion on livejournals and local rock n' roll message boards have it that the belligerent bassist threw a couple of punches and had to be removed by security. But the rest of The Bravery entourage and Great Scott's worked it out and according to (the swell) staff, The Bravery are still welcome at Great Scott. Bostonist is certain that it was an honest mistake. Bostonist is also Sorry 2005 for any bad puns.
