please secure your oxygen mask before putting an oxygen mask on your tiny mark zuckerberg

a packet from an airplane that depicts putting on your oxygen mask before a child, but the kid is in, like, a polo and khakis and he looks like zuck. also this thing warns against using your pager or your handheld TV on the plane. it's old

hello this is the worst Christian shirt i've ever seen.

text says "LET HIM GIVE YOU A HAND" and a hand is reaching out "through" the front of the shirt but it kinda looks like Jesus is sticking a hand through an orifice.

not to be rude to the researchers, but this is a self-contradictory sentence. it's correct that kids shouldn't play tackle and that eliminating hitting during practice would be good, but that *would* change the game of football even if you said you weren't going to change what happens on gameday.

“We can change that cumulative force without changing the game of football,” he said, suggesting that children refrain from playing tackle football and that teams at all levels eliminate hits during practices.

this is just wrong about Belichick. the latter years have made his faults far outshine, maybe even strip, his talents (especially now at UNC) but the body of work pre-Brady, and even the way they won some of those Super Bowls, defies this comparison.

"David Axelrod is the Bill Belichick of politics. He attached himself to a generational talent (Obama/Brady) and everyone assumed he was a critical part of his success.
but once that talent left, everyone realized he's a sad old man who is just embarrassing himself at this point"

this story uses two (2) examples and its own fictionalized LLM prompts to then extrapolate "a dire picture for the estimated 3.75 million K-12 homeschooled children in the US." incredibly lazy journalism! spend 15 seconds researching what the modern landscape of homeschooling is like!

i think a few of these got skewed but Brad East being that high is correct (maybe not correct enough). I often joke that Brad is who I would be if I went to my second choice (Abilene Christian) instead of Arizona State. And now I have two other scholars I want to read more directly from.

hi @azcentral.com! curious why y'all are using "Department of War" in the subhed of this piece? that's not the official name or AP Style. I am wondering if this is a (small!) error or if it's in the Republic style guide to use "Department of War"?

hed: "ASU launches war strategy program with US government"
subhed: "Arizona State University will offer a new war and strategy master's degree for military members and others selected by the Department of War."

great! there are many other wonderful resources, but i will say that i think a lot of journalists could use a reminder to check the AP Stylebook, which i think is pretty decent on this front. i'm surprised how often outlets that are supposed to hew closely to AP do not do even this basic stuff.

The Associated Press Stylebook entry for "autism spectrum disorder, autism.":

Umbrella terms for a broad range of developmental disorders that can involve widely varying degrees of intellectual, language and social difficulties, and repetitive behaviors. Describe a person as autistic only if relevant to the story, and if a medical diagnosis has been made or the person uses the term. If relatives or others use the term, ask how they know, then consider carefully whether to include the information.
Many autistic people strongly prefer identity-first language: She is autistic; he is an autistic student. Some prefer person-first language: She has autism; people with autism. Try to determine the preference.
When a preference isn’t known, and in describing groups of autistic people, use identity-first language.
Do not use the term an autistic or autistics as a noun unless someone describes themself that way. Do not use ASD. Do not describe someone as being on the spectrum.
Asperger’s syndrome, previously classified separately, is the old name for one form of autism. Do not refer to Asperger’s syndrome unless an individual or family member uses the term. If used by others, explain that it is a form of autism and follow guidelines above.

See *disabilities; high functioning, low functioning; neurodiversity, neurodivergent, neurodiverse, neurotypical.*

Not sure if "born again" means something different to Mr. The Serfs, but this just isn't true. Brand stands out because so many born again Christians actually have verses memorized pretty rigorously!

Arizona State University President Michael Crow isn't stupid, so I have no choice but to accept this as malicious, dangerous dishonesty. He owes his students better. www.statepress.com/article/2026...

Crow said there has not been any ICE activity on campus, adding that the University has cooperative agreements with local police organizations and has a good relationship with law enforcement agencies, both federally and locally.
'The stated policy of the government of the United States is to pursue people here who are not documented, who are criminals," Crow said. "That's not here."l
While the University would treat ICE the same as any law enforcement agency, Crow said "the people we have on campus are all legally present."
