Sex. Lies. Schadenfroth. (Schadenfreude, if you're nasty.) Our latest review explores Rejection by Thai American writer Tony Tulathimutte, whose National Book Award-finalist story collection turns dating, desire, and humiliation into wickedly funny fiction.

Book cover for Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte, featuring yellow text on a dark multicolored gradient background and a National Book Award longlist emblem.

So far, the DOJ has sued 30 states and D.C., lost 9 cases, and won none. We remain vigilant. @lwv.org @lwvmd.bsky.social

"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste." You've undoubtedly heard the phrase, but do you know its origin? Today is the 82nd anniversary of the United Negro College Fund. Founded by Black luminaries such as Frederick Patterson of Tuskegee & Mary McLeod Bethune of the National Council of Negro Women

Black History is American History

April 25, 1944, the Unted Negro College Fund (UNCF) was established, creating pathways to education and opportunity for generations of Black students.

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.
