I've had to temporaily block and mute all mentions of Gaza, Israel, and Palestine. Frankly the atrocities coming out of Gaza every day and being bravely reported on are destroying my mental health. I already feel helpless enough as it is and yet every day with more and more stories of Israel's genocide my feeling of helplessness and depression are growing stronger. My heart aches for Palestine. I grieve for Gaza. I just wish there was more I could do to convince the people that actually can make a difference to fucking do something!

Mosquitos are horrible! Swamps must be protected! 🙄 We've paid to kill them, made concoctions on YouTube, Yard Guard, citronella. Nothing worked.

My sis found a recipe: 2 TBL of yeast and brown sugar, a tsp of Dawn, in about 4 in. of water. Throw in grass clippings, few leaves & pellets that kill eggs. It all goes into a BLACK bucket. For the lid, we used BLACK weed barrier & poked a bunch of holes. Traps are sold, too. Worked like a charm! In 2 weeks or less, we barely see any. 🥳

"…the International Economic Emergency Powers Act gives…president substantial room to set tariffs during an, um, economic emergency. But Trump himself keeps saying…economy is in wonderful shape, booming without inflation, & any claims to the contrary are fake news. So how can things both be terrific & an emergency calling for drastic action?"

A court just affirmed that he can't.

Does anybody else find even using IOS, not just Android, nearly unusable?

I constantly misfire on the keyboard. The autocorrect replaces with things I don't want. Sometimes it's impossible or next to impossible to select something to copy it. The applications have gotten dumber and dumber and DUMBER to accommodate imbeciles to the point where you can't even do what say, the map app could do TEN YEARS AGO. Trying to find anything in Google Maps is nearly impossible.

You're right—widepeepoHappy, while massively popular on Twitch, is a derivative emote based on the Peepo template, not an official Peepy variant. The most recognized and original Peepy variant is Peepy Cowpy, the cow-patterned plush first released by ItemLabel. It's the flagship design, central to the brand's lore, music, and merchandise. Other variants like Pink Peepy and Threepy exist, but Cowpy remains the definitive and most popular form of Peepy itself.

Russia has been attacking Europe and the USA for years.

Democracies have not struck back meaningfully.

That doesn’t work against bullies. Power works. Excessive power works faster.

Time to attack.

(…) for woe be to those who remain deaf to the cries of the starving, woe to those who, believing themselves of superior essence, assume the right to exploit those beneath them! There comes a time when the people no longer reason; they rise like a hurricane, and pass away like a torrent. Then we see bleeding heads impaled on pikes.”

23 books that shaped you in high school – NPR


Special Series

Books You Love

What books shaped you in high school? Here’s what you said


August 28, 20255:00 AM ET, By Beth Novey, Meghan Collins Sullivan, and Andrew Limbong
Book covers of: To Kill a Mockingbird; 1984; The Catcher in the Rye; Fahrenheit 451; The Grapes of Wrath; The Great Gatsby; A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; Animal Farm; Slaughterhouse-Five; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings; The Lord of the Rings; The Outsiders; Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; The Autobiography of Malcolm X; Johnny Got His Gun; Siddhartha; Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl; Beloved; Brave New World; The Good Earth; The Scarlet Letter; The Things They Carried; WaldenMaansi Srivastava/NPR
This summer, we asked you to tell us about the books you read in high school that profoundly affected you. It turns out you had a lot to share. More than 1,100 of you wrote back to tell us about the formative texts you were assigned as teens.

You told us about books that broadened your perspectives and stuck with you as you got older. These dog-eared volumes got packed and unpacked every time you moved homes. They led you to become English majors, librarians, writers, teachers and editors. They inspired tattoos, pet names and baby names. Many of you shouted out the English teachers who, decades ago, pressed these texts into your hands, your heads and your hearts.

We’re sharing your thoughts here. This list reflects a time when fewer female authors and writers of color were being published and assigned in high schools — and many of you expressed hope that today’s syllabuses are more varied and diverse.

So, at the start of a new school year, with gratitude to English teachers past, present and future, here’s what you told us about the books that shaped you.

Readers’ responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Two books came up far more often than any of the others:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Harper Perennial Modern Classics

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Reading about racism from the perspective of a child — 6-year-old narrator Scout Finch in Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 novel — was an eye-opening experience for many who responded. Steve Kennebeck, 65, of Ranchos de Taos, N.M., was in seventh grade when his family moved from San Diego to Memphis, Tenn. “Not long after I arrived, my English teacher, sensing I was having difficulty adjusting, asked how I was doing. … I told her I didn’t like the humidity and that I didn’t understand why all the Black kids seemed so angry. She reached for the bookshelf and handed me a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and said: ‘Read this — it will help you understand.'” Christopher Anderson, 60, of Gloucester, Mass., felt such a connection to Scout’s lawyer father that he named his first child Atticus. Nathaniel Hardman, 41, of Midvale, Utah, acknowledges: “I know some object to the ‘white savior’ narrative. That’s fine. Let that be part of the discussion.”

1984 by George Orwell
Signet Classics

1984 by George Orwell
Whitney Todaro, 44, of Louisville, Colo., remembers being so upset by the ending of 1984 that she threw the book across the room. Many of you told us that George Orwell’s dystopian novel encouraged you to think critically, question authority and be wary of state surveillance. There was a strong consensus that high schoolers should still be reading the book today. “More important than ever — but retitle it to 2025,” writes Thom Haynes, 65, of Apex, N.C. Rayson Lorrey, 73, of Rochester, Minn., says, “Teens live in a world partly Orwellian — fish need to understand all they can about water.

Chonky backyard #landback squirrel freaked out some neighbours beside us, who were hosting an afternoon BBQ. Landback squirrel was bitching at them, from trees & dropping pine cones on their heads for about 15 minutes. Then, did a flying LB squirrel jump, landed in middle of their patio table, making the humans scream & run away. Then, LB squirrel started putting a bunch of mixed nuts from a spilled bowl in its cheeks, kicked over a couple of mugs & then scampered off up a tree & disappeared.

I don't need no cable TV. I have LB squirrel action, live in my backyard. It's better than cable TV.

Forget symbolic statehood — the world must recognize Israeli apartheid (Alaa Salama | +972 Magazine, 2025-08-29)

972mag.com/palestinian-stateho…
------

>> The push to recognize a Palestinian state creates the illusion of action, but delays the real remedies: sanctioning and isolating Israel's apartheid regime.

>> Let us not waste another 30 years of Palestinian lives on the partition paradigm — a colonial “solution” to a colonial problem. Israel has long made clear it will never accept a Palestinian state; clinging to the two-state solution is gaslighting on an extraordinary scale, and it has brought us only despair.

>> Recognizing Israel as an apartheid state is the necessary first step toward a future beyond ethnonationalism, rooted in equality, justice, and freedom for all. And it is not symbolic; apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law.
