As we’ve seen before, I fear the ratings will be weaponized, more about the writer or artist than album. Ask authors how they feel about Goodreads and reviewbombing. And when I ran a blog a million years ago, my mental health suffered because people attacked me for my reviews on occasion.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

look at this dog!
I'm minding this rehomed young collie dog - his future career as yet unknown, but sheep trials were very definitely not for him. He crossed the stream at Derrynane strand in two magnificent skimming leaps yesterday.

Every single argument over Christmas dinner on Eastenders could be avoided if they simply played some Christmas music and turned off the big light. Give yourselves a chance, like. Light a bloody candle.
