This is the second suicide I've heard about in the last month. The T doesn't need signs that say "You're not alone." The T needs anti-suicide infrastructure. It's sad that it's come to this point, but such a fragile situation cannot always be solved with a sign. We cannot rely on printed words to save people's lives. When will we learn that? Senator Feeney offers no solutions, just a band aid. These safety measures don't just stop suicides, but also murders and accidents. It is essential at this point.

It's the early 90's you're a kid and you have just walked into the mall into a world of wonder and just stumbled upon the WB store.

I saw a very nostolgic photo of the disney store in the 90's which made me think of the Warner Brothers store very commonly known as the WB store. It had 2 gynourmous statues of Bugs Bunny and Daffy duck that stood outside the store. Once entering the store i would run to the back of the store anad enter the vast world of space through Marvin the Martians rocket ship were you would meet and converse with dozens of other kids looking to blast off into imaginary space land! It was a lawless wasteland. You're mother would shop around the store as you ran inside the space ship and met bunches of kids doing the same. There was yelling, fighting, buttons being MASHED, lights SOO MANY PRETTY LIGHTS strobing. Every button you hit had a loud cartoon/comic effect noise and sometime loud exploision noises. Malls are deffinitely NOT as fun as they used to be! especially for kids! but i am thankful i did experience the period of time of GAUDY crazy mall culture. I am thankfull for the person in the 90s who took all the pictures of my local mall and plastered them up on the internet. It truly was a blast from the past! The nostalgia that HIT me. some of their images below.

Some people are just plain sick in the head. These four girls were out trying to enjoy a Saturday evening at the movies when they were stabbed by a strange man. I'm scared that this is part of the growing trend of angry males taking out their frustrations on random women or girls who happen to cross their path.

I pray for speedy recoveries for all the girls and that the perpetrator is punished to the fullest extent of the law. I'll also accept him suffering prison justice for attacking innocent children.

John Hancock

John Hancock (1737-1793) was a merchant, politician, and Founding Father of the United States, who helped lead the Patriot movement during the American Revolution (1765-1789). He served as president of the Second Continental Congress from 1775-1777, and as Governor of Massachusetts from 1780-1785 and again from 1787-1793. He is best remembered for his flamboyant signature on the Declaration of Independence.

Early Life

John Hancock was born on 23 January 1737 in Braintree, Massachusetts (modern-day Quincy). He was the second of three children born to Reverend John Hancock and Mary Hawke Hancock; he had an elder sister, Mary (b. 1735) and a younger brother, Ebenezer (b. 1741). John Hancock's childhood was a solitary one. His father was often preoccupied with the spiritual needs of the community while his mother preferred doting on his elder sister, leaving John to his own devices. He took to following around the older boys of Braintree, which included John Adams and Samuel Quincy; although the older lads tolerated Hancock's presence, they did not like the younger boy, whom Adams later described as possessing "a peevishness that sometimes disgusted and afflicted his friends" (Unger, 15).

In 1744, Reverend Hancock died after a brief illness at the age of 41. Faced with the impending horrors of poverty, Mary Hawke Hancock appealed to her late husband's brother, Thomas, for help. From humble beginnings as a bookseller's apprentice, Thomas Hancock had become one of the most successful merchants in Boston, having founded a world-famous firm called the House of Hancock. There was, however, a small problem threatening Thomas' commercial empire: he had no heir. He and his wife Lydia had been unable to have children. So, when his brother's widow reached out for help, Thomas decided to cut a deal. He agreed to financially support Mary and her children, on the condition that John be sent to live with him in Boston, to be groomed to one day inherit the Hancock family business.

Mary agreed, and John was sent to live in his uncle's lavish house atop Beacon Hill. The Hancock home was a three-story, Georgian-style mansion, made of square-cut granite blocks, with a superb view of Boston Harbor. The reverend's son would have marveled at the delicately imported mahogany furniture, beautiful oil paintings, and apricot trees imported from Spain. He was carefully tutored to fit the part of an elegant Boston gentleman, was taught etiquette and introduced to members of Boston's high society. He was dressed by his doting aunt in velvet breeches and silk coats, sparking a lifelong love affair with expensive clothing. In 1750, he was enrolled in Harvard at the age of 13, the second youngest in his class. During his college days, he regularly got into trouble; he drank frequently and, at one point, got the enslaved servant of the Harvard president dangerously drunk. Still, he managed to graduate in July 1754 (albeit without academic honors). Now 17, Hancock was tall, slender, and sophisticated, always dressed in the most fashionable clothes. It was time for him to learn the family business.
