Snuggle Weather - Rain, High Winds, Downed Power Lines - Blackouts Across Boson (UPI) 17 Oct 2019




BOSON MA—Police confirmed Thursday morning that four homeless people have died in the midst of a recent rain and high winds reportedly referred to by local man Joshua Crawford's girlfriend as "cuddle weather."

"I love the windy rainy weather because it gives you an excuse to just snuggle up with a blanket and watch a movie," Alyssa Shell, 29, said of the meteorological pattern that in the last night caused numerous trees to topple over and a number of weather related accidents on Boson roads.  "It's like a scene from my favorite book Wuthering Heights - wuthering is a local English dialect word for weathering." 





The deaths of four unidentified derelicts who preliminary autopsies reveal perished of hypothermia resulting from prolonged exposure to the elements.

"Some people don't like stormy weather, but you give me a crackling fire and a good book, and I'm set. Any season that gives me an excuse to just curl up on the couch and be cozy is fine by me!"




At press time, as the sun rises over Boson Harbor a number of emergency crews are clearing power lines of downed tree branches.  Police are on streets and avenues directing vehicles around debris on the roads.

Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life.
