As easy as it is to hate the Patriots, we feel a little sorry for Boston this week: Earlier in the month it was nominated as the U.S.’s bid to be a host city for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Movie Night
A generous group of organizers have raised money to allow middle-school aged kids to see “Selma” for free, and four movie theaters in the Triangle are participating for a limited time. College kids, hit up CUAB’s free movie nights on the weekends. We’re kind of salty no one told us about them until now.
Opinions? Booo!
Yeeeow! Sure has been a scorcher this week, and we’re not talking about the weather. Hot takes abounded: The Patriots were found to be supplying underinflated game balls, people got salty about a Muslim prayer and Obama winked during a speech (the nerve!). Cool off, y’all. That’s OUR job.
