Boston Globe | Jan. 17, 2026 | Abby Patkin

A Boston woman who was accosted in a women’s bathroom at the Liberty Hotel in May after a security guard mistook her for a man is now suing the hotel, accusing its employees of crafting a defamatory cover story.

Ansley Baker and her partner, Elizabeth Victor, filed the complaint in Suffolk Superior Court Thursday, naming the hotel and several of its employees and executives.

Sure. They were all to blame. Even the cleaning lady.

Not the gal who possibly bound her breasts, and looks quite like a male.

Was it a setup?

With Gold At Record Prices, Wyoming Mine Project Is ‘Shovel-Ready’
CowboyStateDaily | 1/18/26 | Renée Jean

Wyoming’s first hard rock mine in a century is all but shovel ready and may be sitting on a pile of gold much larger than what’s so far been showcased for investors.

The CK Gold project, 20 miles west of Cheyenne past Curt Gowdy State Park, also could be worth a lot more than previously estimated because of an explosion in the value of gold.

It’s more than doubled since about a year ago.

Give me a break.

I guess this mine needed to be 20 miles away to actually produce anything.
