Let's ask Dan Shaughnessy!

Now lest you think that's just some copy editor blurbing badly, it's actually in the column, written by the longtime resident of Newton, which isn't really all that far from Fenway Park: Read more.

Miles Grant notes the odd exclusion in a Globe list of "10 movies about work to stream this Labor Day weekend" - they have "Monsters, Inc.," but not anything like, oh, "Norma Rae" or "On the Waterfront." Fortunately, people of a more labor-ish bent on Labor Day have Deadline's list of "15 Movies About Labor Unions And Strikes."

CommonWealth Beacon covered Saturday's free-the-titties march on the Common. Read more.

The Globe today has has an editorial about the supposed dangers of a legal cottage industry in suits over what some organizations may or may not be doing with data from Facebook "tracking pixels." As Dan Kennedy notes, the editorial lists some examples, but omits one very close to home: The Globe itself settled just such a suit (and so we got a payment for $158.03 in February).

Well compensated Massachusetts executives take note: "Wages" are for working stiffs and don't include any promised share of company profits, so you can't can't get triple damages if you don't get that share and then get fired and sue. Read more

Or Cambridge Day turf.

Gary C. reports he was reading the paper version of the Globe today with some bright light in the background - making a photo on one page of a fire-department diver training in a Stoneham pond merge serendipitously with a photo on the page he was looking at of a man skipping rope in Boston.

The Globe is betting it has a better case than the company it had a deal with to turn part of boston.com into a sports-betting hub - and has responded to the company's suit over the hub's collapse with a counter-suit of its own. Read more.

Dan Kennedy, a journalism professor at Northeastern, lists several reasons: Off-the-record conversations can be a key to significant journalism (think Deep Throat) and Woodstein, the Globe and Herald reporters probably didn't realize the depths to which Rollins was sinking and there's actually a case involving a politician who was publicly turned out after leaking, sued, and won.

Dan Kennedy reports that Andrea Estes now has "former reporter" on her Globe bio page and that Globe Editor Nancy Barnes has told the newsroom that she is looking at what went wrong with Estes's story about nine T managers working from hundreds of miles away when three of them were actually in Boston the whole time.
