I taught film to 16-18yos for decades & had to deal with this problem from 2005 onwards.
I had to put their phones on their desk & turn them off. They were frustrated at first but eventually accepted that they had to concentrate on the film & enjoyed doing so.
Then it was back to their phones.

NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012.

In Canada religion goes largely unmentioned, is seen as rude. But I've wondered why Jewish Americans would join the Trump administration when it's pretty clear that Trump's MAGA base (take Scott Bessent sneering at Carney's "globalist" audience in Davos) is openly hostile in the Bovino manner

Why Canada's print journalism is going out of business: their Saturday home pages almost ignore beloved comedian Catherine O'Hara's death in favour of 2,500 big-arsed Pierre Poilievre male delegates voting as expected at a Conservative leadership review. It's as if papers want to lose money.
