Thompson — the infamous American journalist who is known as the father of “gonzo journalism” — for around 18 years. Since he started working on the musical about his life (but more so about how art changes the world, politics, and truth), he has started dating his now-wife, broken up, gotten back together, gotten married, and had a kid. He was inspired by the film adaptat...

Stephen Nedoroscik talks 2028 Olympics, ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and getting noticed for the first time in his hometown bar - The Boston Globe

The first time Stephen Nedoroscik was recognized in public was long before he went viral for his glasses at the 2024 Paris Olympic games.

Before the world knew him as “pommel horse guy,” and before he dove into the unknown world of “Dancing with the Stars,” someone tapped him on the shoulder of his hometown bar Ralph’s in Worcester. He had seen Nedoroscik at the 2021 World Championships for men’s gymnastics, and wanted to buy the gymnast a drink. It was 2022 — Nedoroscik’s second time ever at the bar.

Is your water bottle making you sick? Probably. Here’s how to fix it. - The Boston Globe

School is back in session and chances are you’re packing a backpack with some kind of reusable water bottle in the side pouch. Chances are also that the water bottle is grosser than you think.

If you aren’t sure the last time you checked out what the inside of your water bottle looked like, you’re not alone — especially if you’re a lover of an insulated bottle that keeps your drink cold all day (like we are). The opaque metal makes it hard to tell what’s floating around inside, and the long narrow shape makes the water seem like it came from 20,000 leagues under the sea.
