Police just confirmed that the suspect they're looking for is the dude with the white hat from the marathon bombing.

I'm listening to the Cambridge police scanner. I don't hear any shots but I believe the area was Mount Auburn and Aberdeen so not so close to me. Also heard something about the suspect possibly in a Nissan, described as a white male with curly hair and a black hoodie. They're evacuating Mount Auburn hospital now too.

Now they're saying the marathon bombing suspect is dead, one still on the loose.

More shots fired in Cambridge, and the Boston Globe is confirming that one Boston marathon bombing suspect is in custody and another is on the loose.

I'm wondering if these are the bombing suspects, absolutely insane. A second police officer just died from his wounds, and there are reports of a code black at Mount Auburn hospital (haven't verified this yet)

One suspect has been caught, another on the loose. Seems to be a lot of confusion on the scanner. They've detonated one explosive device and they're doing a walkthrough for others. Freaking out here, this is too close to home

I'm listening to the Cambridge police scanner, it sounds like there's been a carjacking and another officer down, and someone said explosives detonated. WHAT IS HAPPENING?? DYNAMITE?

It's an all out police search right now... SWAT team, police boats, canine unit, etc are all out there. The officer who was shot just died from his injuries.

I wasn't calling her a prostitute as an insult, I know of her and she really is one. I think that pic is pretty bad*ss too, for what it's worth.

That's probably it lol. They're a pretty good band from the UK, and they have a great live show. Canadian music kind of evening...

At the festivals you at least get the civilized ones lol. I don't know what's going on over there in the UK, but I've never had an unpleasant experience at a rock or hip hop show in Canada or the US Always fun to see acts you enjoy live, and I meet a lot of interesting people. I'm trying to figure out how to get to the "Made In America" festival in Philly in September now, the roster looks amazing.

Gender essentialist trash to instruct women to be submissive and subservient wives. He's basically just describing himself and saying this is what women need to know about men.

Thanks for this, SP. I've come across mentions of Nasiib Bunda before but never this much information. I haven't read "The African Frontier" yet but Igor Kopytoff is a famous anthropologist and his work is quite influential in African Studies, so I trust the accuracy of his research.

That blogger has to be kidding if she thinks she coined "white privilege is..." as a format. How can you explain a concept without using those words in that arrangement? In fact I said "white privilege is" in this very thread, and I've never visited that Tumblr in my life.

Fair enough, but you owe us an explanation when you have the time
