Cool they are from the future! Oh, you mean when lockdown policies ended and we started repeatedly exposing kids to a disease that impacts their immune systems (sick days), cognitive ability, and can trigger or aggravate depression?

No one against whom a code of conduct complaint was made was allowed to see the evidence raised against us. All I received was a copy of the complaint. Others were given copies but none of the supporting documentation that was examined.

This is a farce.

Like... no. Their job, if they win in November, is to spend the next two years making Donald Trump's life a living hell and prevent him from making things worse for the rest of the time he's in office. They are there to gum up the works.

It Could Lead to Tens of Thousands of Deaths. In the Meantime, It’s Wreaking Havoc on Americans’ Sanity. Imagine not being able to feed your kid because of a mistake on a piece of paperwork.

For @slate.com & @economichardship.bsky.social, I reported on how chaos and changes surrounding SNAP benefits are taking a toll.

People described endless fear and worry over feeding their kids, where their next meal will come from, and whether SNAP could become even more difficult to access.

There's something immensely sad to me in particular about books being targeted that are specifically written for those who feel lost in their own heads and hearts and journeys of understanding their identities and/or sexualities. Providing guides and mirrors for that is one of the best parts of YA.

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. "Events like this," I said, "if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn't have messed with me. I'll go out in a blaze of glory."

In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, the NBC Nightly News and all the other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of "explaining" them. I commended the policy at the Sun-Times, where our editor said the paper would no longer feature school killings on Page 1. The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.

Late in 1997, Eric took notice of school shooters. "Every day news broad-casts stories of students shooting students, or going on killing sprees," he wrote. He researched the possibilities for an English paper. Guns were cheap and readily available, he discovered. Gun Digest said you could get a Saturday night special for $69. And schools were easy targets. "It is just as easy to bring a loaded handgun to school as it is to bring a calculator," Eric wrote.

"Ouch!" his teacher responded in the margin. Overall, he rated it "thorough & logical. Nice job."

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Please stand by for more.

A graphic for Four Weddings and a Funeral Director, showing the book cover (depicting a blonde woman in pink handing some wilted flowers to a guy in a three-piece suit). Above the book cover is a hearse with 'just married' on it, and below the book cover is a skeletal hand with a diamond ring on one finger.

North American friends, Four Weddings and a Funeral Director (by me, as Hazel Graves) is in shops tomorrow!

It's an extremely bonkers romcom that's Freaky Friday x Six Feet Under x Legally Blonde. Let me know if you spot it!

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

“That This Book May Speak for Me” explores how Black preachers in the 19th century used self-publishing to challenge institutional barriers. Read the chapter from "Published by the Author" by Bryan Sinche (published by @uncpress.bsky.social) free on JSTOR. Full book in Path to Open.

There's a guy in the gym with a yoghurt and no spoon, and I got to watch the exact moment he realised. (Plus the successive ten minutes trying to figure out how to eat it.) It was like live Taskmaster.
