InCity Times Online

duncan's picture

radioball.net (via worcesteria) points out that there is now, or soon to be a InCity Times online edition. A little guessing found the actual layout, but it doesn't look ready yet.

so, how do you say "stay tuned" in regards to websites?

"so, how do you stay tuned in regards to websites?"

Around Central Mass., the same way I stay tuned in regards to everything else. A couple mailing lists, this website, my friends and colleagues.

It's too bad that someone went to all the trouble of establishing a local paper (albeit a rinky-dink one), and then treats it like some high school dweeb's website.
Worcester could certainly use a change from the decades of stereo coming from the Womag and the T&G, but this crackpot is hopeless.

I left out a word in there, what I meant to ask was, how do you say, stay tuned, in regards to websites. That InCity website isn't ready yet, y'know.

Duncan: Now I am totally confused as to what your question was.

haha I was asking how you say "stay tuned" when you are talking about websites? It was a horrible joke.

The ICT website is not ready, stay tuned to see what it will look like.

Sorry you had to leave, I was hoping you would rip out that accordion.

I glanced at the complete letter, which made me wish I had simply stopped at the first graf (as if that weren't enough!). Where Morton Downey Jr. ended, she begins.

Ugh. I cannot believe this neurotic bashing makes it anywhere besides a bathroom stall in some obscure bar after an afternoon of shots. Pshhhh.

Man , you can never get too much crazy in this city.

This would look good in a Coen Brothers camera lens.
Mack, Rose, Donal and a alt-rag that reports news in a "zippy" fashion. I smell an Oscar.

Good lord, I hadn't read that yet. I laughed. I cried. I wanted to pour liquid drano in my eyes. You can't make this stuff up ... well, unless you're Rosalie.

Why would anyone advertise in this rag, run by such a disturbed person. I don't get it . . .

Maybe, I dunno..."Mack" realized this chick was a real batshit crazy and decided to stop "helping" her....She sounds like a real bunny-boiler to me.

And why wouldn't you buy your own domain name? I'm a recovering Luddite and I managed to do it, and they're cheap!

Stacy's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

Did anyone check out the links? There was a blog about a murder...is this the same guy? Not that I think anything on that site has any credibility.

delnieve's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

I think those "Related Blog posts" are from across the entire wordpress.com, including thousands of blogs. Those posts don't have anything to do with the ICT article (except maybe sharing some keywords).

Stacy's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

Yeah keywords like a man's name! Wow! So that to me is slander. Anyone following her link could mistake "Mac" for a murderer.

Re: InCity Times Online

In regards to those that will advertise on that shit site... at least we know which businesses to avoid.

Re: InCity Times Online

I haven't seen the link yet (I clicked on the first dead one), but I have to say that while this chick is nuts (judging by the post a month ago), it'd be nice to see an alternative paper in this City that actually espoused views that were "alternative" to something. The NYT/T&G-WoMag have about a 95% rate of agreement in political endorsements/points of emphasis. Makes them both a worthless Hallelujah chorus for our proven-to-fail status quo.

Anyone who's sane want to start a paper? I would volunteer my meager services from afar.

Now I'm gonna go look at the live link, should I cover my eyes?

Re: InCity Times Online

Don't cover your eyes, cover your ass. Her writing is so terrible it induces diarrhea.

Re: InCity Times Online

For those trying to find the right link, the site has disappeared (for the moment?):

"The authors have deleted this blog. The content is no longer available."

Re: InCity Times Online

Duncan, would you mind posting the text? I'd like to see the newest iteration of the grand kerfuffle that this pamphlet seems to have generated.

duncan's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

I'll email it to you. I feel funny hosting it.

Lincoln's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

Thanks, don't put yourself out, I'm just a curious onlooker.

duncan's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

I sent it, you got it?

Lincoln's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

Thanks. I got it.

If that woman could write her way out of a paper bag, that tale would have actually been entertaining.

I don't quite get the "I'll sell/give it to Dianne Williamson" threat part, though. Just send her whatever you want and she'll print it, we all know that. She makes her living repeating "anonymous sources (not counting the ones in her head)" Maybe that was just about the web-site, it's hard to tell.

Alas, InCityTimes, you could have had a fan/contributor in me but Miss Rosie is a freakin' nutjob. No doubt about it.

Duncan could you also send it to me? kthnx.


All done with nice.

Hi..I have been trying to get a copy of the article for some time now, and I keep missing it. I am always just out of the loop. I would love a copy! thanx

Re: InCity Times Online

Did this woman actually write (at the WoMag/or T&G) for a living at some point?

laurelsdad's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

She did write for the T&G about 10 years ago as a correspondent and was a proofreader (I think) at Womag.

Lincoln's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

Wow, I thought I'd heard that somewhere.
I wonder if she's drunk when she's writing these recent articles? I'm being serious. I've never seen anyone who was "serious" about journalism (even in a high-school newspaper) write in such a disjointed, meaninglessly repetitive, and poorly structured manner.

laurelsdad's picture

Re: InCity Times Online

I don't know about her writing while intoxicated. I do know that, when I drew cartoons for ICT five years ago, its art director at that time suggested Rose tone down the invective. That advice has been apparently forgotten since then, many times over.

Re: InCity Times Online

Wow, this paper is still around?

I remember back about 5-6 years ago when I was working at Funcoland over on Lincoln St., we'd have someone drop off a stack of these every now and then. The only things I really recall were being amazed at the atrocious quality of the content and writing, and that said stack promptly found its way to the dumpster.

Re: InCity Times Online

Everytime I see a new post on this thread I click on it hoping it is her and she has found this thread and signed up just to go batshit crazy.
