"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

As the world swelters in ever more dangerous heat,
⭐️why are oil companies being allowed to turn up the gas instead of paying for the consequences of their greed?
That ought to be the question on everyone’s minds amid baking heat domes over much of the northern hemisphere,
temperature records being smashed day after day,
children dying in locked cars,

I am glad for this article. I have seen the decrease in young men coming to post-secondary in anything other than in trades. This is dangerous for society.
Add in the rise of the 'manosphere' and you have an incredibly toxic, anti-education push, that is directed squarely at men and is very often supported by government itself!

We have to replace the systems that we tear down with systems that are welcoming and support the development of all children and part of that is recognizing that right now, young boys in grade school are suffering.

Mixtape (Multi, XPd on PC)
"On their last night of high school, three friends embark on one more adventure together. Play through a mixtape of memories, set to the soundtrack of a generation.
Skate. Party. Avoid the law.
Make out. Sneak out. Hang out."
This is the 2nd game from Beethoven & Dinosaur, following the excellent The Artful Escape, so I had high hopes for it. These hopes were not dashed. As someone that also "came of age" in the 90s, …

Graham Platner ends U.S. Senate campaign in Maine
Graham Platner,
the populist political newcomer who Democrats had hoped could flip a critical U.S. Senate seat in Maine,
ended his campaign Wednesday night

Why resisting Trump has galvanized Black Democrats as the midterms approach
High primary turnout among Black voters in the South has given some in the party hope for upset wins in the region.

Trump’s well-documented ability to destroy everything he touches has come for what should have been the easiest of tasks:
making the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence fun.
If there is one thing the world’s oldest democracy is good at, it’s throwing Independence Day parties,

The survey also found that a majority of Americans are disillusioned with the American dream:
They are not confident in …
