Explicit books in school libraries keep getting dismissed as “misinformation,” even though they’re still sitting on the shelves. In many cases, this is content that would be illegal for an adult to hand to a minor on the street, yet students can grab these books as they please in some schools. Parents are outraged, and the silence from leadership is deafening. Nick Freitas

WATCH: “How is this not censorship?” Ben Hall grills Tre Hargett Hargett about pressuring TN libraries and threatening to withhold funds if they don’t comply with the Republicans’ vague “age appropriate materials law” (targeted at books that mention 🏳️‍🌈 people) Hargett tries to downplay it, even at one point claiming librarians choosing which books to buy is the same as their book banning crusade🤔 More:

TAPPER: How can assert that there's no ambiguity in this before an investigation has taken place? NOEM: I had just been in Minneapolis and had been with those officers, had seen what they were facing on the streets, and had talked to their supervisors as soon as the incident happened

How could fate be so cruel? The sea took her parents, and now her youngest son too. But as parents, no matter how broken they were, they had to keep going, for GeumMyeong and EunMyeong. This truly shattered my heart. #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerinesep6

Seth Rogen said rich people used to spend their fortunes building things everyone could use. Seth Rogen: Maybe this is like naive of me, but it seems like these rich people who are like, had outsized wealth, it seems like they used to like to have their names on things Keanu Reeves: Libraries, that were like public... Seth Rogen: able to be used by the public. Keanu Reeves: National parks. You know what I mean? Yeah, parks... Seth Rogen: ...parks, observatories, libraries, museums, you know, things like that. And now it's like, people don't do that stuff anymore.

i knew it, the girls felt the exact same way we did. and this is for everyone who kept wondering why idols, especially sejeong, used to appear on literally every variety show back then but now not as often anymore, they kinda had no choice but to do all that so they could keep doing other things too, glad that these things have changed now

not sure how many other details they featured with the other characters at the beginning of p5, but i love how Joker and Ann are uncomfortable with their PT outfits at first but slowly get used to them as the game progresses. It’s such a cool thing they didn’t have to add 😭

Vance: But they had some ideas that I thought were reasonable, and they had some ideas that the president thought was reasonable. What's not reasonable is to hold those ideas as leverage and to shut down the government

Too many people on the left have developed a year zero concept of what Britain is. Everything they laud about this country began after 1945. To them, we might as well not have had a history before then.

Kinda funny how BTOB had their members as vocal judge and mentor in multiple shows, had their songs being used in numerous competition and even open a vocal academy before actually getting the first Daesang. But BTOB never stop, let's go higher and bagged even more awards!

The Igbo and Yoruba did not discover God, spirituality or morality when Europeans arrived. They already had sophisticated ways of understanding the Divine, the ancestors, nature, destiny, morality, life, death and the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds. They had names for the Creator before they heard the English word “God.” They had sacred places before they saw a church. They had spiritual philosophies before they read the Bible. They had ways of communicating with the Divine before somebody taught them how to see God through another people’s language and worldview. We did not meet God when we met Europe. You do not have to abandon Christianity or Islam. You do not even have to practice traditional spirituality. But you should know what existed before you.
